Well done spunk-nuts. UWE...? Uni of West England?!!!! (can't be arsed to google)

[bmstinton93]

Thank you. And yes, you are correct.

[dimtimjim]

Where dat den...? (more specifically). I assume not too far from 'ome? Does Mrs Ben approve?!

[Yudster]

Well played Ben!

[bmstinton93]

Bristol so not ridiculously far but I'm still living up there.

Does Mrs Ben approve?!

My Mum does yes.

Well played Ben!

Merci beaucoup.

60 miles from home. Good, near enough for emergency, far enough to keep 'em at arms length. What sort of digs you aiming for, Halls or private rentage?!

[bmstinton93]

Yeah. It is a perfect distance tbh. If it was too far then obviously it would be a right pain in any sort of emergency or anything.

And I already have my halls sorted:

[Nicola_Red]

Exactly. I live 35 miles from my parents, it's an ideal sort of distance. Close enough that I can get there in an hour if I need to, far away enough that my mum isn't round criticising my house cleaning skills all the time

[bmstinton93]

I'm sure your house cleaning skills are perfect...





























That is what women are for...

[R94N]

Well done on your results Ben. Glad you are able to get into university.

[bmstinton93]

Thanks Ryan.

[dimtimjim]

Carroll Court looks nice, duntit. Shame its no smoking accom though dude, that'll mess with ya smack n crack parties....

Get gym membership though, which is a good thing. Does also mean if you get injured, you'll be getting fixed up in my* hospital, which is just up the road...! Whoop!



* 'Mine' as in I worked on the drawing package for Bristol Southmead, currently under construction.

[bmstinton93]

Yeah it should be good. And obviously gym membership is a good thing for pulling on a night out. I quite like the fact that there's a shared Tv point as well which means the cost of a tv license can be split 6 ways and the person with the best tv can bring it. And I'm hoping i won't need the hospital...

[MK Chris]

Well done Ben. Passing is no mean feat considering the * SCARY maths paper you posted on here not long ago.

[bmstinton93]

Thank you. And i actually got the results of that maths paper this morning and i got 67% which is a high C which i am fairly happy with Tbh.

[dimtimjim]

After a whole 4 days back at work since last holiday, it all got too much for me, so I have now just booked my next one, for november. Whoop!

[bmstinton93]

Thank You! And did you actually take food up there or buy it when you get there? I'm thinking Freshers is going to be expensive as well. And I still need to decide whether to go as a Smurf or Wally off of Where's Wally...

[bmstinton93]

OK. I'm sure this 4 weeks will come really quickly. I still have a lot to get really. I need a trip to Dunelm I think.

[foot-loose]

Well done Ben.

[John22]

Well done Ben

Take things like rice, pasta, salt and pepper, noodles - cupboard stuff like Lottie said. I sent Miss Yudster off with a reasonable food parcel, but then she cooks - I don't imagine you will. Remember to take some stuff like plates, glasses, knives and forks - pots and pans too, you will probably at least need something to boil pasta in. And cheese. Students seem to live on cheese.

[bmstinton93]

Thanks John and Foots! And yes Yuds, you could not be more right. I don't cook and hate cooking. But i do plan to start and probably will get a student cookbook as suggested.
