The Official "woo-hoo/anti-moan" Thread

cuckoo · 2005-07-27 19:28:22

We're all very good at posting in the moan/bitching/groan thread, so i thought maybe we could try a 'woo hoo!' thread? For the 'i got a job/won the lotto/had a nice day' posts. So, for the first 'woo hoo' post: I got wolf whistled by a large group of guys yesterday, which really cheered me up - and put the 'i got it going…

A true mathematician would have used radians; also you need to rethink that number; also what Podge said (I'd also like to reference SU(2) being the double cover of SO(3) and tying that it in with needing to do two full revolutions to give the identity, but TPs don't do group representations, though they do do bad maths jokes).

Thanked for making me feel infinitely less nerdy. \o/

(I'm crying on the inside.. Painful jokes are painful. Ah well, beats the constant sex jokes from half of my class! :pac:)

Oh, and just to cover up.. I twirled around in circles while making my decision?

(Mini-rant while I'm on the topic: Wrong thread for this post, but it really annoys me when I see how some people just don't even bother to like the course. It's all well and good going to lectures/labs etc and coming to the conclusion that you don't like your course - but how can you know when you don't even go to your lectures? At least put some effort in beforehand. TP isn't easy, but we all knew that before starting. Giving up before you even start is ridiculous.)

Are you referring to someone there?

Half of our class? :P Though I can see why you'd think I'm referring to specific people, I'm not. It's just the general attitude of a lot of people towards the course that really irritates me. Not yourself obviously!

Well impressed by the showing from the lads.

Ignore lists are stupid. It's like giving someone a free pass to talk **** about you. If you feel the need to respond to his posts why would you ignore him and let him get away with his posts without getting a response.

If you don't feel the need to respond to his posts then why put him on an ignore list, surely you can just either ignore his posts anyway or read his posts and then move on.

It also makes a mess of the thread flow.

A message still shows that there is an ignored message.

Nothing on the official facebook or website. And the full lineup announcement is due Monday.

Looks like the cat's out of the bag now anyway.

Can't thank this post enough! Can still remember the first time I saw it, it took a good 20 seconds for it to actually load up...it has stood the test of time well.
