    Geology.

    As Aberdeen is very much linked with the oil industry their geology courses should be quite good - with lots of job opportunities at the end of it?

    Nearly time to go out, at the moment I'm happily drinking a tin and listening to music ( Elfman's Hulk )

    Good - albeit surprising - choice!

    I wasn't around the board on Friday, but I've had a great "buddy weekend" at a friend's cottage in the South of Norway. I put some pictures up on facebook. LOTS of booze, fun discussions and banter and fantastic weather (except a sudden and brief rain cloud).
    I am extremely serious.

    Well, I do like some Elfman Thor and Hulk is a good listen.

    I'm off out tonight, it's pool contest time.

    I also played hero for one young lady in distress knight Just some lecherous drunken creep who was coming on very strong and whose advances were not welcome, I made it clear to him that he should just go home and get some sleep.

    Thanks guys.

    I'd like to point out that despite this guy being an A-class prick I was polite but firm, I didn't have to be aggressive at all. My mantra is that violence is the last bastion of the terminally stupid.

    Whattcha saying Marcel....I'm a taken man shocked wink

    The girl in question is someone I vaguely know from this pub, y'know, to say hello to and I've had one or two conversations so we're not exactly strangers. I walked her home so we at least know each others names now, and yes, she was very much appreciative.

    I'll also point out that these kind of incidents are very rare in the pubs that I frequent, pubs that are welcoming of any creed, colour or gender. I've long gone past those days of going to city centre pubs where seeing a night of trouble was the norm.

    Yeah, I think at some point those places started selling popcorn and folding chairs to punters just coming in to watch fights ensue.

    Undeniably the best and most logical of solutions; doesn't always work with the other party though, especially where i come from rolleyes slant

    Such a USEFUL little calculator tool!

    Now I can tell exactly at what time to call it quits! (Though, to be honest, the results sound far more like a challenge than a deterrent...)
