Hey Nic! (I'm a Nic, too!) I've been studying in Reading this year (travelling from Southampton tho' - bloody exhausting!). Nice to know you!

Hi Nic - I'm usually nic with a small "n"!! I spotted your cheeky username in the person-below-me game I think it was.  Good luck with your studies.  You must be dedicated, travelling all that way.

I was supposed to be moving to Reading but it all went tits-up at the last minute (long story). And only 1 more month to go now - hooray! You guys are really helping me in my efforts to avoid doing work!

Sorry guys, didn't mean to bring the mood down! I'm feeling pretty happy actually. Heck, all that other stuff will sort itself out in the fullness of time...

Could be a lot of opportunities there rather than just a lot of problems.  What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, as they say.  Plus you got some great inspiration from loving the BBM story.

PS Have you been drinking?!!  :D

I am near you, I think. Well closer than K(elda) anyway! As she has already said I live in Bedford, Beds. I am not quite sure how far Southampton is(it's a good job I am doing Geography GCSE, isn't it?) but I am sure I could get there somehow. Well I am not in Bedford at the moment, try over the Atlantic ocean in Niagra falls, but we will have to speak about this when I get back.

I live in Northamptonshire, er, is that near to Southampton?

It's strange, i can pick out the other European/American Brokies on boards, but never the British ones!

Hey Catglith, that makes 2 of us that are rubbish at geography!  ;) I had to look this up on a map of the UK , but no, we're quite a way from each other. I'm right on the south coast on the other side of the water from the Isle of Wight. ;D
