Nah, I've been telling myself to go to sleep for the past hour!

Harriet · October 21, 2015 12:37 pm

I know that problem too well - off you pop!

ukaunz · October 22, 2015 11:05 am

Ooh, tonight I manage to log onto Twitter at the same time as Mark Gatiss

Harriet · October 22, 2015 12:09 pm

You really want that, don't you?

This Is The Phantom Lady · October 22, 2015 12:22 pm

Well done!

But argh, time differences confuse the heck out of me!

ukaunz · October 22, 2015 8:15 pm

Well, he still hasn't replied to my tweet. I may never get the answer to my question about Anderson.

I use the clock app if I'm unsure about the time difference, but I honestly wasn't trying to be on Twitter at the same time as anyone, it just happened!

besleybean · October 22, 2015 8:24 pm

Possibly try tweeting Sue?

Oh the ignorance of some people...

I put up a note downstairs of the student building I live in; someone has for a month now played really loud music with a lot of bass for hours every day, insanely loud... so I put up a note, kindly assuming that the person didn't know that it would blast through the walls, I even hung up a pair of headphones for them, those are gone by now.

There is now a written debate going on on the note... people who play loud music are asking who of them should stop.

WTF. If you are doing it, I obviously mean you. There's a reason I didn't say what flat I thought it came from...

Why can't people just think??

Sorry to hear you kindness was wasted on those people, Phantom!
(Probably they don´t understand this language, try a few swear-words and threats about storming in and throwing everything out of the window next.. might get through to them.)

Yitzock · October 23, 2015 2:11 pm

That sounds really frustrating, and I'm sorry that your attempts at fixing the problem are not working.

Does any one know how long a student would have to wait for an answer from Oxford university?

Have a look here, Lily

I hope this is what you were after

Lilythiell · November 4, 2015 5:33 am

Yes! Great! Thank you
So...that'd mean around late January/early February, then.

I suppose I'll see it when the student gets his answer: either euphoric or crushed.

Is it strange I'm excited?

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 4, 2015 6:51 am

My fingers are crossed for him!

nakahara · November 20, 2015 6:42 pm

I saw this photograph today - never did I want to have a cat so badly:

besleybean · November 20, 2015 6:52 pm

Oh I love cats so much.

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 20, 2015 6:52 pm

aaaaaaaw!!

Yitzock · November 20, 2015 9:32 pm

That's so sweet. I think i may have seen that one before, but I don't care it's still wonderful.

Ah-chie · November 21, 2015 11:02 pm

We had our first major snowfall today! Too soon for all this white stuff... but it sure looks pretty.

And they are calling for some more tonight perhaps.

Mid-late November isn't that early. But I guess in recent years it hasn't always happened.
We had one dusting a couple weeks ago here but nothing since then, though we've had plenty of rain. Last year by this time we had snow and it was colder on campus. I still haven't worn my winter coat more than once or twice.
