Can vouch for this.

When Blenheim is considered the capital of an entire region, then the country isn't normal.

Does anyone know anyone who would want a apexi rev speed monitor ? It's for turbos and n/a cars .

Welcome to O-Week in Dunedin!

Sorry guys, was having a bad night last night.

Good choice!

hai guise.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

What's been going on 'round these parts?

(congrats on legend status btw KC)

Herpes, Hepatits...y'know, the usual.

How is In-ger-lund?

Cold and wet. But enjoyable, nonetheless. I'm off to London Road for Peterborough-Ipswich this weekend and in April I'm at White Hart Lane for Spurs-Citeh.

England cold and wet? You must surely be making that up! :lol:

Where abouts in Londra are you residing?

Why are there 132 spectators at 1.30 am? :?

Currently in Peterborough. I'm looking to move into London at some point. I'm on the waiting list for Spurs season tickets so I'm trying to line it up with that :lol:

Cheers <3

Whatcha up to in England? (Apart from watching football)

Anyone good with advice?

I'm good at giving advice.

The quality of said advice remains to be seen, but I'm good at putting it out there :lol:

feed me more...feed me more. sorry bored

Actually my biggest problem right now is I'm not exactly sure how to ask what I want to know :lol:

Unrelated, but any tips on how to make the guys in my physics/maths classes realise that I'm friendly and approachable would be awesome.

talk to them . exactly the same advice girls give to akward guys

Yeah, but they don't talk to me.

If you ever find yourself sitting near/next to someone who clearly hasn't made any friends yet, don't be afraid to make a comment here and there. When I was in first year engineering, we were doing really basic stuff (stuff we learnt in year 11 engineering) and this guy asked me "how are you finding this?" I just answered back that it was pretty basic stuff and we became good mates from there.

Generally the vast majority of people at Uni are very approachable, and only a small
Minority are stuck up and have that thing about them that you get the idea they think they're better than everyone else.

Yeah, except when I ask people how they're finding things, it's always ridiculously easy for them, and I either get some kind of patronising look or comment when I honestly say that it's not a walk in the park for me. Should I just pretend that it makes perfect sense?
The majority here are stuck up, and it's kind of hard to make them realise that girls can be just as smart when I'm really dumb.

Hmm, a stuck up environment makes it a bit harder then.

The vast majority of people I came across here in Newcastle have been all too happy to have a chat and even point you in the right direction if you need it. I only noticed a handful of stuck up people (you can just tell, so they weren't worth talking to) throughout my whole time here.

Sorry I can't give you advice on how to deal with these snobs, cos I didn't really bother with them.

It's probably just because I'm stupid. I've become reasonably good friends with this guy, but he doesn't like his genius friends seeing me with him.

You're being too harsh on yourself. Maybe ask him why he doesn't like you being around when his mates are there?

Keep talking to people, be yourself and you'll eventually meet like-minded people. 2 years ago I got to know someone by saying "hey, I've seen you round before, what are you working on? By the way, I'm _____."

sadly people can be dicks at uni /work /etc. hopefully that changes

I'm sure most of them are just saying that to appear like they're having an easy time. A lot of them are probably lying to make themselves seem like a genius.


Do what M_M says. And if that doesn't work, tell him that you want people as friends who aren't afraid to be seen with you.

It helps at uni if you initially know some people in your course or at least there are some that live around where you are. It also helps to not be shy. I had none of those things going for me. If went back in time I'd probably try and force myself to be louder rather than sitting at the back out of the picture.
Most of the friends I made at uni were from group assignments. Others outside my subject because I recognised they were wearing Fluminese, Benefica, Mariners, etc. shirts.

If you'r in an environment where these people are that full of themselves, play to their egos. Be all like "I've never really done this before, you seem to be doing ok...can you help explain it to me?"

And as always, there isn't anything covered at uni that you can't find on google.

What course are you studying?

Eh, nothing much. In the process of looking for a job and trying to get a student loan to go to college. Other than that I spend most days/nights playing online poker :lol:

It's not that most of them are particularly full of themselves (some are though), it's more that they don't realise that they're coming across that way. Maybe some of them don't really know how to deal with girls or something.

I'm studying physics, maths (both calculus and algebra) and psychology.



No, that's really not the case.
