    Good luck to Charlie Delta and his classmates

    Hi,

    I would just like to take this opportunity to wish Charlie Delta good luck with his orals tomorrow.... Not that he needs luck, he is well versed, well revised, totally prepared and not scared one little bit.....

    OK - Yeah - right - perhaps he does need some help! Good Luck CD - just remember the person sat opposite you is human and is there to pass you if he can and you know your stuff.

    Same goes for all those heavily into the last few days of orals prep - I remember it well.

    I DO NOT expect a reply from you - you do not have time - get back into those books - and when you have passed, enjoy just the one or two drinks I know you will have to celebrate as any sensible person would do ;-).



    Good luck everyone!

    Ian

    And to follow what hatchorder says - when 1700 comes - at the latest - get your ass out of the books, go a walk and have a nice cup of tea... Then get some sleep!!!

    Personally I recommend ceasing hard studying at mid day and spend the afternoon pottering around library reading random stuff inter spaced with trips to costa - otherwise you'll end up panicking and won't sleep!

      Good luck CD et al. Alistair, glad to see that you have finally realised that Costa is the way forward as opposed to Starbucks.
      Go out, do stuff

              Hell no - but unfortunately there was no Starbucks within convenient distance of the library...

                If you pray at the temple of Starbucks then this weekend Fri 8 to Mon 11 from 2pm - 5pm you can get 2 for 1 (cheapest free) on small, medium or large festive favourites.

                Eggnog latte
                Toffee nut latte
                Gingerbread latte
                Orange Mocha.

                Personally I don't, but it may send some of you into raptures!

                    Good luck CD! Can't imagine how I'll be feeling when it's my turn to sit the orals!

                    From what I've read you've prepared pretty well.. Should be no bother!
