Interesting fact about Imperial, what is now the old chemistry department was the first part of the university, then known as a chemistry college.

In fact the Queen's Tower, landmark of Imperial contains names of important chemists that studied/researched there.

The purple colour the royal college of science wear at their graduation was discovered there (appparantly).

lol, it's one of the best universities in the country and one of the top science institutes in the world.

Found in London.

Am I alone in thinking designer clothes/accessories are a rip-off?

I will happily shop at high-street stores such as Next.

I'd rather have the money to put toward my mortgage or savings.

sell yourself?

oooh, I like you insomniac

I guess you have your undergrad BSc but it also sounds like you have completed a year long MSc. You need to check with your department to make sure you will be awarded it.

Any ideas? I'm getting really fustrated with wedding plans and my blokes family (who have some really backward ideas). In fact I feel like taking it out of him but I don't think he will appreciate it.

My brother has a slam man at home and I love punching the hell out of it. Alas, I have no slam man here :-(

What do people do?

lol piglet. It just means we went to Imperial.

I'm not sure where the term comes from, it was actually after my time. My brother (also a gimperial but after me) kept saying it and thats where I picked it up.

bazzab, to make it more clear I have some questions. Were you expected to finish the lit review before the upgrade or is it an ongoing process?

Is the lack of data collection due to you spending more time on the lit review?

What does your supervisor think?

I don't think the things you mentioned are particularly special. I reckon most people have their "thing". I actually fidget without realising and have a low concentration span (amazingly low). Had an argument with my bloke last night because he was telling me something that happened at work and he took too long to tell me (in my opinion) and I got fustrated and yelled at him.

My brother does the rocking thing and has done so from a young age and he's fine.

No one is perfect but it's obvious that people who are more developed in particular areas will be less so in others. This is why it is more noticable at places such as Oxbridge.

That sounds like me, apart from the nap but I don't feel any guilt.

Down the road from where PGFT are based but also have admit I am a former gimperialian

Oh yes, I just remembered so is coastman.

Adem, I thought you were one of the gimperials?

Are you being paid to do this?
