  1. Thought most of the last episode was pretty dire and that maybe the whole thing was just nosediving; but some great late scenes as noted above.
  2. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32865248
  3. I've thought the last couple of episodes in general have been a bit naff; not sure if it's Dorne in particular. It's felt like everything is a bit too fragmented -, the geography, characters and their and screen time basically. I also thought the lastest mega-controversial scene was just crass and the opposite of shocking.
  4. I agree that something like reviewing 1 of a choice of 3, or 2 of 5 or whatever, is probanly best. It kind of defeats the point if one just picks a new release already to one's taste. And it would be ncie if there was at least a bit of overlap in what people are reviewing...

  6. Ha, pretty sure (though not 100%) I was in the year below at the same secondary school as this guy. /cool story.
  7. I'm still interested. I'm hoping the silence/skipping of last round was just caused by that Skating Polly record (couldn't have been Mr Le. Nah. Couldn't be.) ?
  8. Here in Poland there's a woman purportedly born in 1893; Guiness just doesn't quite trust the record-keeping here, obviously.
  9. [and I think it's supposed to be the song, not artist, but:] Miles Davis - So What?
  10. HD sounds like a submodel of Kindle Fire, which, yeah, is basically i-pod light, I have the most basic one; I agree with the above comments except that I'd have preferred to pay a bit more for no ads.
  11. I checked the OP and it should be a specific link word from the two titles. Oh well.

    Like Dr Owl I might also have recommended the postgrad option; I'm not sure about not having honours though. Does one even get a Bachelor's sans honours (I thought that was otherwise an associate's?). I got accepted onto an Msc (my undergrad was the same arts degree as Old Gold's) for which I didn't meet the advertised requirements. I don't think I met the advertised requirements for one I eventually did either (an MA or Msc depending on modules). Also, semantics, but it asks for a 1st degree (i.e. an undergrad degree - your first degree) with "only" 2:1 honours. This may be moot, and I may be acting like a total dick, if you genuinely don't have an honours undergrad though... Postgrad option is presumably much cheaper (though I guess you'd need to pay in 1 go), it being a 1/4 of the length, and I think the government would essentially pay half the fee (reflected in "home" rate?) as opposed to a second undergrad?

    Maybe do it part-time at either Aberdeen or RGU? Though I guess it'd be hard to get even a few hours off mid-week, if you're in a mid-career 9-5 job, could be the better option if you can swing it.
  15. There is a playlist for the full Don Cavalli album on youtube, if you can access that.
  16. More points for me http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32012346
  17. points finally http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31801198
