[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;51103192]I usually just have big fuck off boots because I can't get decent shoes in my size :([/QUOTE] But boots last ages, so that less money wasted on flimy trainers.
[QUOTE=JimJam707;51098324]I lived with some Chinese students last year and they kept boiling eggs in the kettle, which was leading to some eggy tasting tea until we figured out what was going on.[/QUOTE] for real I will break shit if someone makes my tea all eggy, I hope I don't get any of these kettle-egg bastards [editline]25th September 2016[/editline] Still a week to go for me
Jelly babies were damn good And you have a lot of qt3.14 azns

We ended up with 3 toasters by the end of the year
I have, by accident, bought women's sports shoes before because my feet are so goddamn small.

[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;51102710]Whats up lads. Our Prime Minister has stolen your royals.

I'm sorry for the trouble this may cause.[/QUOTE] Seriously they are not worth it, take me in their place instead.
You guys really should try and be good mates with your Roommates if you're sharing. I had a complete cunt of a roommate and it made my first year a complete misery.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;51103780]You guys really should try and be good mates with your Roommates if you're sharing. I had a complete cunt of a roommate and it made my first year a complete misery.[/QUOTE] I think I was lucky as shit, everyone in our flat gets on really well, theres two of us that aren't clubbers but we still make the effort to come out and drink with the girls, then theres this guy from Cyprus who doesn't drink at all but still makes the effort to be social at pres. We've even gone as far as to be social with everyone on our floor, our entire floor is essentially one huge friend group now its great honestly the only tip I can think of for anyone thats a fresher like me is just be social, even if you don't like the clubbing/drinking stuff, just be social and make friends. people will understand that you dont drink and its perfectly fine, they'll just like the fact that you made the effort. as for cooking and cleaning and everything just do your best for anyone worried about that. I cooked for my entire flat on the first night here, made some sweet ass texas bbq marinaded chicken fajitas using marinade I managed to get a shit ton of from work. As of right now we all just clean up together and wash up together.

[QUOTE=Doozle;51103827]If it's any consolation my girlfriend was recently told Adidas women shoes stop the size before hers[/QUOTE] my shoes are UK size 6 and they're a bit oversized. on the bright side it means I can always get my shoes on discount when they're clearing stock because no one else buys shoes that small
Also if anyones about in southampton tomorrow or tuesday we should go and grab some pub lunch from the Spitfire or something, decent food in there at a decent price.

I love how cheap everything here is, quite a relief from home
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;51104033]I love how cheap everything here is, quite a relief from home[/QUOTE] Cheap? Have you seen the price of Freddos?
[QUOTE=Chains!;51104079]Cheap? Have you seen the price of Freddos?[/QUOTE] Dunno what that is, but restaurants and candy is at least
[QUOTE=Chains!;51104079]Cheap? Have you seen the price of Freddos?[/QUOTE] The price of Freddos is basically my method of gauging the economy.
[QUOTE=cr2142;51103966]Also if anyones about in southampton tomorrow or tuesday we should go and grab some pub lunch from the Spitfire or something, decent food in there at a decent price.[/QUOTE] I have induction stuff tomorrow and tuesday but I might be free later in the week if you'd like. Also, second what you said I don't drink much but I drank a bit and no ones being a dick about me not downing large drinks etc and one of my flatmates is absolutely awesome (She's nearly another me, so we get on really well) and the rest are lovely as well.
Ugh SCS what are you doing? I thought I could go a little longer without seeing a christmas ad, but you had to go and ruin it with your carpets and sofas. But I'll forgive you this once, cos the bird on the ad wasn't half bad.
Is it natural to not care when news of unrest in other countries reaches your ear? Because I can't be arsed to bother with whatever's going on elsewhere in the world.

people are rewriting history to say that freddoes never cost 10p and that salt and vinegar crisp packets were always green its how the elite keep us blind from the truth
[QUOTE=cr2142;51103956]fite me you plebian fuck boys[/QUOTE] jon ed and proud mert, u southerners don't understand, it's different oop north went out on thursday and actually wore a tweed jacket and a shirt (wtf??) if that's anything
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;51104629]people are rewriting history to say that freddoes never cost 10p and that salt and vinegar crisp packets were always green its how the elite keep us blind from the truth[/QUOTE] I only heard about the salt and vinegar change recently. Was it before the mid 90s or is my memory just fuzzy on crisp packets that weren't prawn cocktail?
[QUOTE=cr2142;51104286]sick man, pm me whenever your out and about or free![/QUOTE] Sure, I will do. Tonight was the first time I've gone to a club and had a good time. Ended up dancing for a bit and chatting to flatmates and some new people before walking home with my flat/course mate and this is far better than I ever expected freshers to be for me. until I am up for fucking 9am tomorrow morning because apparently engineering faculty don't understand freshers :suicide:

I got some fish from Morrison's yesterday, cooked it up, made a salad to go with it. Forgot it had bones in it, cut a bit up and bit down. Short story short I now have a badly bleeding lip.
