haha he spent most of the time tuning his guitar

and his socks were red thats all i bothered with him



a lot of people ask for antiobiotics when they go to the doctors even though they have a virus

results in overuse of antiobiotics which has given bacteria immunity

a doctor wouldn't give antibiotics for a virus.
doctors rarely see self diagnosis as anything other than the result of a brief stint on google.
if they believed every self diagnosis then half the population would be getting chemotherapy for cancer.

these are probably the same people who, if they DO need antibiotics, stop taking them after the symptoms cease, rather than simply continuing until the full course is taken. Stopping halfway through increases the chances of producing a resistant strain.

Matt, regardless of whether you're right or not, that's not Alex's point.
He's saying people tend to ask for antibiotic cure-alls without knowing what they're really asking for. Stop being so picky.

No one cares about swine flu *sniffle* (snuffle? kekeke).

mmmm a whole of a uni whilst being sick is fun.......

god i feel like shit

have all weekend

haha whilst using the drill in the workshop today i noticed someone had drilled into the vice
someone in the workshop last year had the flame of the oxyactylene torch pointed at the gas bottle when they turned it on, and its left this blackened mark on the gauges, making one of them unable to be read

according to the workshop guys if the flame was on the bottles much longer half the hunter building wouldnt exist any more

 

[The_highwayman]

that doesnt make it right.
people are stupid.

 

[axlenatore]

ouch its what my biology teacher used to always tell us

What the..........fuck?

What kind of monkeys are the uni training to becoming engineers? God damn.




...plus more expletives blah blah blah.

lol sorry.
i meant that the bogans who ask doctors for antibiotics when they've got a viral infection are stupid.
not you.

dude, it's only the hunter building.
what would we lose?

 

[em_516]

A giant maze and a rubbish library. Meh.

A giant maze and a rubbish library. Meh.

These are all both valid statements.

 

[The_highwayman]

dont forget primary school teachers and half the nursing students

 

[em_516]

Muahahaha.

i skipped my first lecture ever yesterday

in fact i skipped my first education related thingy ever yesterday

i feel rebelious
though to be honest it doesnt count as skipping when you dont go cause you are sick, but instead of going home i hung with a mate so lol

today i only have 1 lecture 6-7 pm i feel bad that i didnt do any uni work today cause ive got the flu or something so im dragging myself there to infect everyone muaahha

anyway

my quick of yesterday, we have a new physics lecturer, some lady who got wolf whilsted because everyone was suprised we had a "lady" as a physics lecturer, and later on she asked for examples of insulators and after the common examples were shouted out "wood rubber" someone shouted out condom and she just stood there and said im not even going to dignify that with a response
her voice is annoying, whenever she say a vowel her voice goes unusally high

Wow, I clearly missed the immature first year classes.

 

[The_highwayman]

wow there's some real tools in ur physics class alex.

 

[Hagaren]

sounds like i'd like your physics class.

 

[axlenatore]

Wow, I clearly missed the immature first year classes.

It just seems to be the ones im in....wonder what the common factor is there

wow there's some real tools in ur physics class alex.

tool*, its one guy who is doing chem eng who is universally known around the uni as being a giant douche. Before i knew who he was three people asked me if i knew him because he is doing my degree, and when i said i didnt know him they said "good hes a dick"
he does that sort of thing in all the lectures, he was asking my geng lecturer if he went to the toga party, and in physics last week he had a giant elastic cord and was shooting stuff at students and the lecturer

 

[The_highwayman]

if i were the lecturer i'd ask him to leave.

 

[axlenatore]

the guy does it of his own accord, by the amount of effort he appears to put in i doubt hell last much longer

its hard in a group of 250ish to identify whos doing it especially in a large room

since he was using one of the elastic ropes he had stolen from one of the physics experiments we had to do

 

[axlenatore]

back on the hunter building,

what the fuck is with the floor "numbers"

in normal buildings the lowest floor will be 1, the 2nd floor will be 2 etc, so when you are looking for a room itll have the building name first followed by the floor number then the room number

but in the hunter building they use letters and have it that the top floor is a and the bottom is c

when i walked in for the first time i had to go to HA33 and was on the B floor so one would assume that the bottom floor is A, but no its fucking C
