haha. Is a bit ladeda, agreed.

Been to a couple of awesome piss ups parties at AA when my other half worked there. I knda miss it.

I hear AA people really know how to drink.;)

have done a shoot in RIBA it's a nice building, couldn't understand why there were chinese protesters outside then realised the embassy is over the road.

Yep the AA chef was a legend, always getting us trashed

Foxy: yeah its weird, they have this little square of pavement to stand in, right across the road about 30 yards away. They're Falun gong (sp!?) protesting at being supressed.

MrSmith structural engineers are the one with the skills. Word.

absolutely 100% correct.

I was winding lucky up.
i do know a structural engineer though, he can't cook and is mechanically inept I believe he is good at his job though.

Superprecise who here is at what (architecture) school?

Doing Part 3 at Kingston. Did degree & diploma at Portsmouth. 9.5 years so far :-(

9.5 years! I was right about you lot being well educated! Flip.

5 years full time at uni, the rest practical experience + 1 yr part time course - kind of MA thing

i'm 4th year dip at the met.

I can't believe I missed the topology discussion.

I'm enjoying this thread. It started on a bit of a Daily Mailesque "ooh the youngsters of today know nothing" kind of vibe and then migrated into architect-baiting which is far more in keeping with LondonFGSS.

Big up to those who have been attempting to casually drop in their qualifications/breadth of knowledge/technical-stuff-they-know by the way.

:) you spotted that willski

:-)

What casually dropping in love of esoteric song lyrics from hugely influential bands? That flew over all your fricken heads, eh? Eh?!

TheBrick(Tommy) The Mendips are in somerset around Glastonbury area so close by, a big feature. If you live in Devon and don't know where the Mendips are it is a pretty poor show. I would not expect people to have a excellent geography of even an entire region but not knowing roughly where of a large area like the Mendips is as an adult living in that region is pretty bad. Not on the same scale but similar to the Essex girl who does not know where east anglia is.

oh you spoilt it, I was trying to guess, I thought near Cambridge

"maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I love London town"

a kid at my school had the Mendips once, come out in a right rash he did.

they said it wasn't contagious, but lots of the others caught it as well.

You break out in big lumps, start smelling cheesy, and try to gorge yourself to death.
