*takes a moment to look away from his pile of marking that is Y7 exams with tears in his eyes as he remembers his last months of academia and looks ahead at the next thirty years when some of these young kids will say ''you used to teach me!''

I would not worry then we can blame alcoholism on the stress of work! :D

There is actually something they do in Russia (they even have a special name for it, the psychos), but they basically pace their drinking so they're continuously wasted over the course of a few days. If you didn't have those annoying lecture bits in between, that would be cool to try.

Why not? I have. It is an interesting and sobering thought I will have you know. However, if you want real fun, compare a knave to a foldable table because that is something that is seriously cool. Try it. You'd love it. Hours of fun and hilarity await you.

I found out from Alison that the rooms in chester come readilly equiped with bedding - phew! I am going to take toweling though it sounds silly but you need a familiar towel when you go on a long journey.

I have found out that you will need the JCT SBC 05 with Quantities for the weekend away. Sir Nick and I are going to the RIBA bookshop tomorrow lunch, does anyone else need or want a copy? Give me a ring if you do.

I always take a pillow with me as well - they are crap in most hotels and I like my pillow. A familiar towel is good - you just never know who had the room before you do you!

Jesus, I know a bunch of towel fetishists...

Are you telling me that you travel WITHOUT a towel??? What happens when you make a jump though hyper-space? Does it hurt like they tell you at school? :?

It hurts like putting neat vinegar on a popped blister. I am, however, well 'ard, so I can take it.

My sister has a blanket she's had since at least the age of four, and she still has it (despite it being full of holes now), so I can't really say you two are that bad, in all fairness.

My towel is packed in my suitcase for my trip to Spain. I am proud. I do not have a fetish. I just like my towel.

People reading this thread might think that we are slightly odd. And they would be right! :lol:

Okay, I take it back, you two don't have towel fetishes, you just have an irrational attachment to personal items and a distrust of hotel laundry procedures. I forgive you.
