This thread made me laugh so much I registered!

(I'm a supposedly 'prospective' MA student, who's actually made up her mind exactly what and where to study 8-) )

Love the stuff about googling people obsessively - I've just spent the afternoon googling someone who's going to be teaching me on my MA course, with whom I fell deeply in (strictly professional/academic) love with on t'open day. I always had narrow, obsessive interests outside of my school/degree subjects (yes actually, I am autistic), and meeting someone who shared one of them made me come over a tad peculiar :$

Oh and I can vaguely relate to the Jeremy Paxman thing, but Neil Oliver's where this geek girl's heart lies. The hair! The accent! The near-obsessive interest in history and archaeology! *swoons*
