By Christ, I'm bored
and that thread is too long to read.

I call Friday tea time thread.

Tell me about the TV jingles of your youth that you still remember word and note perfect today.

If you're going on holiday
To the continent, here's the way.
It's a shorter drive by far
If you sail from Hull with your car.

Aw man, I'd totally bake you a cake and send it to you but it'd probably go bad before you get it.
SO I'll just say "congratulations".

Congratulations.

I am flabbergasted
I dread to think what utter dribble they must have waded through to make me one of the best three candidates...
There were three jobs spread across two different projects...I wasn't offered the project I would have preferred, but it still looks interesting: working on a model of typhoid infection with a view to producing a vaccine.

Is there still a lot of typhoid about?

I'm currently in Bristol at the moment
but hopefully will get a job in London at some point
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 29 Jul 2011, 18:16, Reply)

I will be living in Leamington Spa
rather than Oxford, 1) so that I can see tennis boy more easily and 2) rental prices in Oxford are fucking astronomical, it barely works out more expensive to live elsewhere and commute.

But you are still more than welcome to visit at any point!

I didn't have TV as a youth
and I just had my dinner, much earlier than usual, some type of mini pizza eaten like a slob in front of Takeshi's Castle. Making (heating) quiche, veg and potatoes for everyone else later

I love the gummy bears so much, my favorite cartoon EVAH, oh man. That theme tune represents being 8 years old and getting out the bath with the towel being on hot radiator and you run into ma's open arms as she hugs you dry, and then putting on your dads dressing gown where the arms almost touch the floor and plonk yourself downstairs on the couch where a dinner of chopped up fried egg, baked beens and fish fingers inside a volcanio of mashed potato, are waiting for you.
