Quote from: "flammableBen"
welcome to the true religion my fellow rasta rabbi.


   You should set up a cult FB.....a bit like Mr Wroe and his virgins, he set up a church in the 1830's a branch of the Apocalyptic Southcottians, which he entitled the Christian Israelites.  This was in industrial Lancashire; claiming a direct line to God, Wroe asked for and got 7 virgins to live with him from his congregation.

 The virgins were to provide Wroe with "comfort and succour"
 

  The story of Wroe was on a TV series back in the early 90's

 Can't you just nick someone else's......what I used to do in a crisis.

  Surely in this day and age there must be one lurking on the web somewhere.

You wouldn't imagine the grief you get to avoid plagiarising your dissertation.

I found that it's the only way to get essay's done. I used to loose interest otherwise. Trying to do them early never worked for me, too much going over each paragraph and rewriting, you forget the point you were trying to make in the first place.

My best ever essay mark at uni was for a 2000 word jobby on quantum physics which I did for an elective module in my second year. Wrote the thing whilst drinking Spar import strength lager. Got my highest mark ever for an essay (64%). Luckily doing computer science I never needed to do that many of them.

When I had to retake my second year I tried to go over it an rewrite it slightly better, hoping to push it over towards the 70% first margin. Only got 58% (which I think may have been my second best essay mark ever). Either my point about pondering on things too long is correct or I'm an inspired drunk. I'd probably hedge for the second.

Either way that whole uncertainty about a dead/alive cat in a box makes a hell of a lot more sense after a few can's of stella strength cheap lager.

So I think I'm telling you to get some beers in or something.
