I've done a few of those in my time. The hike up Mam Tor to look at some "features" being the worst of them.
At least that sounds mildly intriguing. I just spent 6 hours in a room in Copenhagen looking at stuff they dug out while making the new Metro system in Copenhagen. I mean, leather shoes from the 16th century can certainly tell us something about the condition people were in - but it just gets boring after 5 hours of examining them.

Now I'm having a beer and a cigarette, gathering mental strenght to write the 5 page rapport we need to turn in on Monday.

It does sound interesting from where I am sitting, but after five hours in the same room I would probably get bored hearing about anything. What did the shoes tell you?

The shoes told me that quite alot of people were flat footed, therefore they suffered from back problems. Also that foot sizes were a bit smaller 400 years ago. Also gave a fascinating insight into how they reprogrammed the city in the 17th century, they filled up the defensive ditches with waste in order to expand the city. That's what I remember off the top of my head.

In that case I wish I lived 400 years ago.

Man what i would give to go back in time and do my bachelors in History.

Back from a three hour lecture on the october revolution - Lenin was a fucking arsehole...my lecturer is a bolshevik sympathiser, the fool.
Ok this doesn't do anything to help.

Edit: A bolshevik sympathizer? Wheres the idiot from?

Lucky fuckers :frown:

"reply with quote" isn't working for me today :shifty:

Fred, he used to be a Marxist and whilst he discussed the flaws of what went on you can tell that he was holding back support for the ideoligies.

I believe in a united world, but not under opressions and murder and I don't think it is something that can be forced, it will happen eventually through globalisation and technological innovation - Star Trek proves that :stuckup:

:sergio:, nigel 'moron' farage was doing a webchat on facebook, I asked how he could justify his racist domestic policies and now im being trolled by a group of...trolls. They seem to be under the impression that im a socialist and therefor deserve berating because I dare question them.
