ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 2nd July 1999 
Welcome to the page of Dave Thorp
I am 21 years old and am currently based in the town of Preston in the United Kingdom. I spent two years of my life in Edinburgh during which I studied Physics at University for 1 and a half years before realising that it was very dull. For the other half a year I served as a chargehand at the Junction Bar. I now serve as the lowest ranking memeber of staff at the White Hart pub in Preston
I am now planning to write a guide on the quality of guinness in varying pubs for H2G2 (if anyone has any comments on this let me know).

Finally remember that "The Great Fish in the Sky looks down on you all!" Yes even you!!!!!! And you!

Complete Update
Aug 10, 2000

Well it's been far too long since I've been on the h2g2 site and put anything in my journal. As you can see above, I have now quit my physics course (really should get round to telling the university). I'm now employed as a chargehand at the wonderful drinking establishment that is the Junction Bar on West Preston St in Edinburgh. Of course this means that my access to h2g2 may become limited as I loose access to the university labs in October (when the university finally catches onto the fact that I've left. I would have thought my absence from my exams would be enough of a hint but apparantly not).

Oh well what fun. Anyway I'm going to stop typing as I'm sure noone is reading this anyway (if you are reading this, thanx for reading it (and please discuss it to let me know that it has been read))

Student Finances
Jul 19, 1999

One thing I've noticed is that however little money students have they always find ways to spend more. I discovered this in working out exactly how much money I had spent in the last academic year and then having a heart attack. I managed to spend in excess of £5000 last year and I know people who have spent more than me. What is it about student life that allows them to spend more money than they have and more importantly, WHERE HAS ALL MY MONEY GONE?!?!?!?!?!?

Walking distances
Jul 16, 1999

Why is it that just about everything in the city of Edinburgh is within walking distance even if it's 1000 miles away. In my normal home I'd have enough difficulty walking to the shop but now I'm walking miles and miles just for the sole purpose of getting to a computer lab in order to check my e-mail. Perhaps there is some kind of thing in the cities that shrinks very large distances. Or not!
