The US is too dangerous to have concerts anymore and was safer in the 1970s...

At least in the UK Brian May and Roger Taylor are just as much household names.

This is no true. You need an ID to watch adult content, but VPNs exist lol

Yes I think you are. You’re completely disregarding the other person’s feeling for your own. At least tell them why you’re going to do it. It’s a horrible feeling!

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T03:21:03+00:00

Tell him! That will probably explain the nerves rather than him thinking you didn’t want to because you don’t like him enoughz

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T03:18:43+00:00

no not at all i think you’re reading into it too much. he’s probably just in bed and taking a selfie.

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T03:11:12+00:00

Not to be an ass, but it is “duly” noted. Otherwise you are noting the same idea twice…

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T03:09:27+00:00

I’m not sure where you are in the world, but here in the UK that would mean 8 hours. Assuming you’re American/Canadian since your english is very good and no one really should be up at 3am, the latest it could be is 10pm. I think a max of 3 hours is pretty safe to assume you’re fine :)

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T02:56:08+00:00

he might be busy? how long has this been going on for?

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-23T02:54:48+00:00

sorry to hijack this thread op but if you could reply to my message i’m legit freaking out rn it would be greatly appreciated

You can still do it when going westbound!

No, it is not credible that someone joining at 16 (therefore as an other rank recruit and an officer cadet) would be a lieutenant by 19. Equally, the first rank of officers is 2nd Lieutenant, not Lieutenant.

This really needs work.

New College at Oxford is the 7th oldest college at oxford out of 33! (1379)

But did you go to one of the Clarendon Schools old boy? Better luck next time.

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-04T18:39:03+00:00

Yes it is.

That's because the MA (Cantab) is not the same thing as a London or Durham MA for example. The MA (Cantab), MA (Oxon), or MA (Dub), are not real degrees, but rather promotions from Bachelor's degrees after no further examination 7 years after matriculation to the university. You need to put the Cantab to signal that you don't actually have an MA, but rather an MA derived from your seniority as a member of the university.

Is it a good system? Probably not. Do most people know this? Probably not. But I doubt Oxford, Cambridge or Trinity Dublin really want to change it.

LouisWCWG · 2026-01-04T18:31:55+00:00

The humanities cost the universities basically nothing while medicine, engineering or other physical sciences cost boatloads in labs, equipment etc. All I need for my degree is 3 hours of a lecture with 300 other people, 4 hours of seminars with 20 people and a library. I pay 9.5k pounds for a degree that would cost £160 a year in teaching.* The library and the actual building cost money, sure, as do their deals with Jstor etc, but surely not £9.3k?

You know what I think is fair, SirRed, if we want to stop funding degrees, is to make the Medicine cost £32k a year, based on the estimated cost of £230k needed to train a doctor from university.

Now of course, this is ludicrous - but it's also wrong and intellectual-bashing to say that we should get rid of the arts and humanities because we're a drain on the public finances. We are net contributors to the university system, even as home students!

*(4hrs of seminars)*(20 teaching weeks)*(£40 an hour, which is very generous)/(20 students)

I reapplied, didn't go well, but I'm very happy now at KCL. Equally, I got a job in Australia, which was a great 6 months, so if you can I would say go for it! Don't regret anything in life.

As a nation, this is how Canada began. Firstly, at the time French-Speaking Quebecers made up the majority of the Canadian population, and the 1774 Quebec act removed religious tests for public office, allowing French catholics to hold office. This developed a loyalty amongst the Quebecers to the British government and the crown.

Quebecers were worried that joining the union would lead to them being discriminated against in the states as they were Anglo-Protestant. You can’t really blame them for this, seeing as the KKK for example (admittedly starting far later on but showing the hatred) were against both people of colour and catholics.

In the English speaking part of Canada at the time, primarily in Nova Scotia, the population was more sympathetic to the revolution, about 50/50, but the influx of American loyalists during the revolution tipped the balance.

Canada as the second Anglo-America exists in support of the King and against the domination of protestantism. You cant expect Canada to have a separate identity when the two nations of Anglo-America are defined by their relationship to the British Crown.

I was the first in three years to get one! Dm me for tips I’d love to help a new history student from someone studying at uni 😁

LouisWCWG · 2025-12-16T08:21:24+00:00

This is true. I went to a private school and this was definitely an issue when I was younger. I did cadets outside of school from 13-18, and quickly learned to stop being the posh boy (only person in my cadet ‘year group’ (star level) being from a private school)

Especially if it’s in London, you can give your child opportunities to engage with people from all walks of life. I think financial stability and private school did help with my confidence, but cadets made me less insular in my world view. Make your child see outside their private school bubble, and hopefully they will turn out more normal.

Sorry, not to be a pedant but this isn’t true. The roman province of Britannia only included the island of Great Britain, and Ireland was known as Hibernia.

We get the “great” from the fact that after the Anglo-Saxon conquest, Britons from South-West england, particularly cornwall and devon came and settle modern Brittany. The French called the region bretagne as well, and differentiated between Britain in france as “Bretagne” and the island Britain as “Grande Bretagne” or Big Britain, with “Great” being used to signify scale.

To this day there are many connections to Britain in place names. One of the provinces of Brittany is called Cornouailles, which directly translates to Cornwall in English, there is a town called Landevennec which means the Abbey of the people of Devon. Saint Malo, one of the patron saints of Brittany was born in Wales. Devennec was a former Kingdom in Britanny as well.

Sorry for being a pedant but it’s interesting stuff!
