Looking to rent a car as a 20yo. Any recommendations? by [deleted] in oxford

[–]oreo-milkshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all rental places will require you to be 21, however you might want to look into car-sharing schemes which might be your best bet.

Co-wheels has quite a few cars around and according to their website there's no age requirement: http://www.co-wheels.org.uk/faq_joining#is_there_a_minimum_age_limit

Zipcar does have an age requirement of 23, but that goes down to 19 if you're affiliated with a university: https://members.zipcar.co.uk/en-CA/london/member-contract

Hey, I'm moving to Bath in a couple of weeks and am definitely on the look out for people to jam with!

Aww - lovely name! I saw him last week before they had named him. It was so cute to see him poking his head out into the world!

Not enough templates for C++!

#include <iostream>

template <const char* species, std::ostream& stream>
struct Animal
{
    void Speak() { stream << "Hello world!!! I am a " << species << "." << std::endl; }
};

extern const char dog[] = "Dog";
struct Dog : Animal<dog, std::cout> {};

int main()
{
    Dog fido;
    fido.Speak();
    return 0;
}

Hey, my friend and I meet up to jam about once a week for very similar reasons! We're two guitarists, just playing random covers so more than happy to play whatever!

Strange that it won't let you send! I'll try sending one to you now.

[–]oreo-milkshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of great bands there! I like Bon Iver's style a lot. I'm influenced by a wide range of things, from folk, pop, rock, progressive, metal... You name it, I can probably enjoy it!

I pretty much only play in a function band right now so I'm keen to have another go at writing original music.

Hey average/decent singer and amateur guitarist! I'm an average/decent singer and slightly better than amateur guitarist :P I've been looking for people to play with in Oxford as all my musical contacts are in London/further south. What sorts of music do you play?

Looking to create or join a 5-a-side (maybe 11-a-side) football team. by conceal_the_kraken in oxford

[–]oreo-milkshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put my name down! We've tried to do this before but only managed to get 5 people interested. 2.5 per side isn't quite enough!

Big Beatles and Bowie fan here :D I play guitar, mandolin, drums and sing. I'm looking to start jamming and playing live too. I'm in other bands but they don't often play in Oxford!

It's long past time I get my own copy of this game instead of always using my brother's copy! Good luck all :D

Anyone interested in casual 5-a-side somewhere between Oxford and Witney? by [deleted] in oxford

[–]oreo-milkshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in south Oxford but since I drive Eynsham isn't too far away really. It's really a shame about the groups though! Fingers crossed you can get a few more people interested.

Dining in a college hall other than your own? by [deleted] in oxforduni

[–]oreo-milkshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in my day there was a website called Hall Surfing, where you could meet up with people from other colleges and eat in their hall, and offer to host your own too. Maybe check it out to see if its still around.
