Ok, connected to one of the razorback ones. But nothings happening. What should I do now?
Does anyone know of anything happening in London on saturday night/sunday daytime? Guessing most of the rigs are gone to Frenchtek?
Going up for a mate’s houseparty, and quite fancy some free :bounce_fl ing late saturday night, or even better sunday daytime.
Edit: Found something! That’s cool. Was worried I’d have no excuse not to come back and have Sunday lunch with gf’s family!Become a trainee pirate. To do this you will require;
A cardboard box big enough to sit in
2 broom handles/ long sticks
A pillow case
Some string
A bread knife
A bandana (or failing that a tea towel)
A small soft toy (preferably some kind of bird)
String and sticky tape.
A black pen1. Place the box on the floor (tear off the lid) and tape one of the broom handles to the box in an upright position. You know have the hull and mast of your ship.
2. Tie the pillow case at it’s top and bottom to your mast (feel free to add skull and crossbones designs to pillowcase using black pen). You now have a sail (it may be best to tie your ship up at this point so that is doesn’t sail away unmanned while you are finishing your preparations).
3. Using part of the lid you tore off the box, fashion an oar shape and attach to the end of your other broom stick. You can use the oar to travel around when there is not enough wind, or as a makeshift weapon.
4. Tie the tea towel/bandana around your head, and draw a moustache on yourself (if you are not already equipped with one) using the black pen.
5. Attach the soft toy to your shoulder using tape. This is your parrot. In the event of the toy being another creature (a bear for example) you will have to use your imagination.
6. Arm yourself with your cutlass (bread knife – be careful not to cut yourself here) and board your vessel.
7. Go forth and plunder!Just as a tip, if you have a kitchen with a lino (sp?) floor, you will find this offers far less friction than carpet, so you ship will be able to travel at much higher speeds.
Have fun!
I’d be happy to help in any way I can. Even if it’s just helping in the clear up!
One of the things I need to do to support my application for my course is prove that I am ‘environmentally orientated’, as it’s a bit of a change of direction from my previous subjects, and my degree only just makes the minimum entry requirement.
So being invlolved in something like that is just what I’m looking for. I’ll IM you my e-mail address. Would be cool if you could send me details of the event, as I’ve not heard of it before.
Do you have much going on in Brighton in the way of parties? We were supposed to go to Havok on NYE, but it fell through at the last minute, and we ended up in the local listening to Robbie Williams and fecking S-Club fecking 7! :annoyed:
Hi Globalloon,
Environmental science can cover various aspects from what I can tell. When I was checking out courses the focus of the course varied from one institution to the next.
Some were focused the on geological / meteorlogical proper science stuff, others on human impact on eco-systems, and others on envornmental legislation and planning. And lots of courses covered more than one of these areas, in varying proportions
The proper science stuff interests me the most, but the course I want to do covers all three. The plan is to be an envoronmental consultant, and hopefully get to travel the world advising on different projects. Whether that’ll happen or not who knows, but you gotta have a dream!
Hi USE,
At uni I did an economics degree, and in my final year realised I actually hate the subject and want nothing to do with it. Decided that i want to feel like I am doing something helpful and productive with my life, not just helping to make the person above me richer. Hence the decision to do the masters.
The book I’m reading is called ‘How We Can Save The Planet’ by mayer Hillman (see link to Amazon below – had to look it up as I couldn’t remember author’s name!). It’s split into three sections, the problem, current action, and finally required action. I’ve just finished the first section, but it has some interesting revelations and dispells some commonly held myths. It seems to be very practical, with realalistic solutions which we can all partake in (or so it says, haven’t got to that bit yet).

Will check out the book you mention when I’m finished with this one.
How’s being a renegade working out for you? Sounds so much more exciting than my current job title of ‘accounts assistant’. Incidentally accounts is the last area I wanted to work when I was doing my degree, yet here I am. At least it’s only till i get some Uni debt paid off so I can start my course. Do you have a nice wad of debt from your time at uni?
Hi guys,
Cheers for the hug funny cat! It could never be sad to be obsessed with Cookie Monster!!
Prior to last summer my music was all rock/indie/hip-hop/trip-hop/big beat and a bit of drum and bass. Thought D&B would be my thing on the free party scene untill I went to Tribe of Munt party in feb and disvovered (acid)techno. Other than that open to anything really. Not really too up on the difinitions of dance music, but looking to learn!
Hi USE. Read some of your posts on a thread re: the environment on SJ a while ago. Thought you made some good points. My plan is to do an environmental science masters next year, and then go save the world! Reading quite an interesting book on the subject at the moment if your interested?
Teleportation device sounds good. I’ll get my physics mates on the case.
