*Looks at TV,* yeah, it is and the English majority of me is losing!

Yep, my mistake.

The Irish 16th of me is not enough to overcome the crushing despair the English 11/16ths of me feels over the terrible performance!

Congratulations over Manchester Sigmar!

I'm hoping to be accpeted there myself this time next year! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'M SO HAPPY!!! [img]graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

From Gibraltar to Manchester [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Let me tell you a few things about living there Sigmar .... RAIN RAIN RAIN

Buy a good umbrella, raincoat and wave goodbye to blue skies for a few years. Did you know that Manchester is one of the rainiest places in the world? (if not THE) That three consecutive days of no rain is called a heatwave / drought? Can you even speak mancunian?

Congratulation Sigmar [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] you will be going to one of the greatest party towns in the world :D Seriously the night life is amazing

From the tropics of Malay to the dampness of Manchester ..... save youreself Callum while there is time (see above post) [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

What would you be studying Callum if you went?

Callum 03-01-2005 05:51 AM

Computer science. Or possibly Computer science and engineering.

Meh... the wet season here can outrain any Mancunian weather. I've seen the tiny drizzles that English people call "pouring".

True my tropical brother! :D But the rain in Manchester has a bitter cold constant dampness to it that affects the very marrow of your bones, day after day after day :sad:

Still on the bright side Manchester is one hell of a social explosion. All the clubs and bars are easy to get to, plus there is great public transport and cheap accommodation. Music and arts are a big plus and even I go to visit every couple of years ;) You and Sigmar will both love it :D

</font>[/QUOTE]Very much appriciated Wellard, thanks Callum.

It was snowing a bit when I went over for my interview (first time I'd seen it actually snow in my life :D ) but you're right, the rest of the time it was raining and freezing!

But i really loved the city. Although admittedly nothing like Gib! Party town huh?...I like :D

Mancunian...I heard people say "You're alright love" a lot :D

Kaltia 03-01-2005 03:54 PM

Wow, Sigmar, that's great! :D *Tackle-hug*

You'll get on fine there. From what I hear, Manchester University is a really good Uni [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Sigmar 03-01-2005 05:19 PM

Cheers Kaltia [img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad to hear it! Any uni's better than no uni anyhow ! [img]graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm just outright happy and grateful for this oppertunity.
