And there is every type of music available here...... you mean they have both kinds: Country and Western!

It is always nice to be able to say: civis Europaeus sum.

Speaking as somebody who is dead inside on most days, this touched me. Congratulations.

Some more zombie-related action: -
I suppose it will come in useful for your.
Hahahaha! That was great!
But I don't have a zombie plan because y'all need a zombie plan against me! For I have the Power of the Anagram to turn y'all into zombies!
In fact, I shall now anagram your name, Wot, and turn you into a zombie named:
"Faux Skin" Pielli

I've got a hunting shotgun that belonged to one of my great-grandfathers. I'm not sure if it still works, or even how I would load it. But, heheh, because it's so old it's off the government radar.

Well, thank you. I am currently venturing further down the Latin avenue of my degree, which I am rather enjoying. Also, I am doing an optional module in hieroglyphic, which, although hard, I cannot really take too seriously - many because last time I studied the Egyptians, I was six!
Yourself?

Thank you. I suppose it's all downhill from here.

Congratulations! What was the title and subject of your essay? That's outstanding!
-- Nephele
Thank you.
It was an article based on an essay I did for a module on Roman Dacia.
The article's title was: Intrusive Ideologies? Modern Politics and the History of Roman Dacia.
Most of it has been posted somewhere in the Forum Peregrini. Feel free to have a look!
Is this the one?
-- Nephele
Sort of - I added another 500 words, you see.
Fantastic WW. Congratulations. That should look quite fine professionally mounted and framed, no?I haven't gone that far yet. Getting published does, however, mean that I shall be able to cite myself in my dissertation...

What a pack of smears! Humorlessness and cluelessness has never seen a greater champion than this Zoe Williams. I'm sure she'd be appalled by Monty Python too (had they any modern equivalents).
Methinks that when one is assessing the future of one of the largest financial centres of the world, one is permitted to be humourless...

London has survived plague, fire and two World Wars. Under Johnson, however, I think my spiritual home's days are numbered...

I commend Boris Johnson for standing for Mayor of London. Not because I have faith in his 'ability', mind you, but because if he were to be elected into office, he would no longer be Shadow Minister for Higher Education - and thus have less of a stake in my future as a student!
The man is so unbelievably detached from reality it is not even funny: about a year ago he visited my university and spent more time discussing boating shoes than higher education; upon a visit to Portsmouth he blurted out that the place was full of 'drug addicts and fat people'! What seems to annoy me most about the man is that people tend to write off the above events as being 'his manner' or his 'eccentricity'. That would be fine and dandy were not in a position of potential power!
As a writer, I rather like him. As a historian, however, he is rather piss poor. He has a tendency to use analogy all too freely - using modern, but fitting ones can often blur context, but in his case his comparison between Rome and the EU inflames this problem to its greatest extent.
One thing on which I would actually commend him would be his role in saving the Ancient History A-level - at least his heart is in the right place.

Anywhere responsible for creating Lucky Charms (the greatest cereal in existence) should be commended full-heartedly!

I find rugby much more entertaining than American football, though I see it very seldom on TV.
Did any American channel show the USA Vs. England game?

What about evidence further back in history of ergot poisoning? Was it known in ancient Rome, or Greece? I would think that because of the marshy wet climate in parts of Britain, it would be a serious problem for Roman invaders. Was it? Or did our little friend Ergot make his appearance later in history?Ergot poisoning is also found in prehistoric studies; the most famous example being Tollund Man., who may have ingested it as some form of sacrificial right.

Thank you all. Right, I am off to Gatwick.

Quite. *huzzah*

Sadly, the leftist nature of my country dictates that 'special treatment' will not be dished out for individual cases.
*sigh*
I am, however, going to keep on the offensive until I get my passport!
Though I thank you both for your advice.

...I have to go as I have tend to my 'trendy' education. I will address the other points later – particularly the ones dealing with 'political correctness'…wait a minute, that is all of them. I wonder why they are so fixated on ethnic minorities?
I can go through England thinking the first language there is Pakistani.
I am sorry to say that Pakistani is not a real language; Pakistan houses at least 10 major languages, the second most spoken being English!
Edit: spelling.

Which of these issue's would you call radical?
Which of these issue's don't you agree with .....and why?
IMMIGRATION - time to say ENOUGH!
EUROPE - back to British independence!
LAW AND ORDER - crack down on crime
ECONOMY - British workers first!
EDUCATION - discipline, standards, achievement
AGRICULTURE - quality before quantity!
HEALTH - first-class healthcare for all!
TRANSPORT - time to invest!
ENVIRONMENT - a cleaner greener future
FOREIGN AID - time to spend our money on our own people!
PENSIONERS - pensioners before asylum seekers!
NORTHERN IRELAND - an end to sectarianism!
DEFENCE - no more cuts!
FOREIGN AFFAIRS - Britain's interests first!
DEMOCRACY - letting the people decide!
You must keep in mind that these are only titles - if you read the fine print, you will the party for what they are: idiots.
IMMIGRATION - '...system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by a generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question.' - hmm...let's put the above statement in terms that BNP supporters can understand: 'Get these bloody bongo-bongo, [insert other derogative terms for ethnics here] savages out of our country; the come here and steal our jobs, our women and our water...and they don't even wash their hands.' I have to say that the BNP rally that I passed in Oxford, was attended by skin-headed bigots, deluded by the belief that they are somehow the master-race!?
EUROPE - '...work to restore Britain's family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand...' - so they want to disassociate themselves with Europe, but want to set up an institution like the E.U., but with British speaking nations...well we don

Luck.
magna cum laude, baby.

Thank you very much, all. While I have every intention to go on to further study, I have to address the question of how to fund it. It is now time to get a job.
Unfortunately, this is a lot easier said than done... *sigh*
