Ooh I definitely think purple and maybe silver - cos were special!

My friend just says she is at Oxford, doesnt feel the need to mention a different uni to which she has no connection - they are 100 miles apart!!!

I think I might start saying Im at Oxton too - Sixkitten (Brighton / Oxford) - I like the sound of that - better than Brisex or Suston (Brighton / Sussex)

Can I ask why you insist on calling it Oxbridge - it is two completely separate universities!! You are not at Oxbridge you are either at Oxford or Cambridge!!!

Burgerking - I think Verdy means actual write up not experiment and data analysis!!

It would be physically impossible and against the rules to finish a phd in 3 months!

I suggest if you want to find someone to spend the rest of your life with - stop reading about how to go about it and statistics about it and go out and do something about it!!! Girls dont want to be with someone who is too clinical about relationships - its very off putting!

To jradetzky:

>I would say a bar is the worst ever place for finding a spouse. Just think about it for a moment. Good girls/boys don't go to bars alone at night, do they? I mean, I know "that's what most people do", but it doesn't mean it is the right way. That's why I never go to bars.<

Good girls / boys??? what are they? No, people dont go to bars alone at night, they go with friends - nothing to stop you talking to girls who are with friends in bars is there?

Im technically EPSRC funded but because its a DTA I get exactly the same allowance as the uni funded ones here.

We get £1800 a year for consumables and expenses, though my supervisor is a bit of a tight a**e and makes me explain why I need everything - if its a big item I go to my other supervisors.

I recently managed to get a new stirrer hotplate and adaptors (£750) off the uni equipment budget as it hadnt been used much this year!

Yes there was sex before marriage as we dont get married till next year - but hey thats part of the fun!

Im technically a christian (christened and all that malarky) but very non practising to the extent that I dont believe in it all anymore. And the NSBM thing - I dont get it, surely as its a major part of a relationship (and child producing technique) its better to practice to make sure your OH isnt useless!

We had both specified 'intelligent' as one of our criteria and he was actually out of my age range (but only just by 1 year) I was within his however...

I did end up chatting to a load of idiots - no idea whether they were gibbering - they were online!! And had justa bout given up hope and was about to cancel my membership when a message from my now OH popped up - we got talking and that week spent about 30 hours chatting to each other online and on the phone.

Katq - As a girl, jradetzky's views scare me a lot! They are a bit rigid, but maybe that's what is expected of Christian's. Just doesn't seem the way for a happy relationship to me!

Snap - I think the whole way of picking the one person you want to spend the rest of your life with by having such narrow criteria is just asking for trouble

When I 'found' my OH, we met on an online dating site, I had had enough of finding gibbering idiots in bars and irl and decided that to narrow my search I go online, he luckily had decided the same thing.

So you spoke to someone then???

What happened?

Thanks

Thanks again for making me feel better!

Spoke to my supervisor again yesterday and I managed to not look / sound stupid in front of him (well not too much anyway)

Thanks again for making me feel better!

Nope 3!
