I don't envy you, Bryan. Researching a thesis and actually getting it on paper are two fundamentally different things, and the latter sure is a pain in the a**.

Ouch, good luck with that, Bryan.

Ian - forget about the Steve Irwin-stingray connection. What happened to him was a freak accident, and most rays are retiring creatures who can't do any serious, lasting harm. Except for mantas, who can sometimes land on top of you. I live at the Jersey shore, and regularly swim in the ocean with various types of skates and rays. Just enjoy the trip!

I know I wasn't worried when we went last time.

Thanks Rochey & Seafort.

Got replies so far from Sheffield and York. York offered me BBB - which if I don't get I should be shot (having got AAA last year...) - while Sheffield have yet to give me the specific conditions [grades], but have said I will get one - probably about ABB.

You can apply to 5 universities, my 5th one was Bath - purely because I thought I might aswell use up all 5 (it's not extra cost). My reasoning behind Bath was purely because it was the first university I saw in the list that I knew a friend would be studying at. I don't even know where Bath is, haven't visited it (ever), or even looked at their website. To be honest, I don't even care if I don't get any sort of response from Bath, I ain't going there

Sheffield is a great place to be a student. Both Graham and I went there.

The latest in my life is that I've joined the forum. Hi. *waves* Do I get run out on a rail if I say I've only mostly watched Next Generation and a few random snippets of the other shows? (Well, and the movies as well. My parents owned IV when I was a kid, I think I have it memorized, just about.)

Serapha - welcome, and don't be scared of us. I don't think anyone cares which 'Trel franchise began your career.

Reliant - congrats.[/quote]

Hey there, and don't worry; having an encyclopedic knowledge of Trek isn't necessary.

I've got a few friends who go there, and they say it's pretty good. It's definitely my 3rd university after Manchester and Durham, but I can see it's probably most likely I'll be going to Sheffield, as Durham/Manchester will almost certainly (if I even get an offer, which is a big ask; so touch wood) offer me AAA, and I'm finding it increasingly more likely of just missing out on an A in one of my subjects.

Here's the latest from me:

Monday - Thursday im working in Stretford from 8pm-8am, plus being paid 35p a mile for each trip there and back, so it works out to be about Â£84 just for my petrol, plus night crew bonus, so im gonna have quite a bit of cash at the end of this month. If I don't get shot that is! haha

I went to a gunshow on Saturday... 'twas fun... I bought things

The latest? In the most stunning upset EVER, the NEW YORK GIANTS defeat the previously unbeaten New England Patriots by a score of 17 - 14 in a dramatic defensive battle at Super Bowl XLII. In a bit of sports superstition, a Giants touchdown (as well as a late drive-saving first-down catch) are caught by David Tyree, wearing jersey number 85 - the same number formerly worn by my friend Stephen Baker "the touchdown maker," who caught the touchdown representing the last points in the Giants' Super Bowl victory in 1991.

GO BIG BLUE!!!
