I have been accepted by The University of Essex for my PhD! The best British uni for International Relations so *dances the reserved dance of almost celebration*

Now all I need to find, before I can actually celebrate, is the money to be able to afford it. *sigh*

Anyone want to help me rob a bank?

Do we have to provide our own masks/balaclavas? ;)

I'm afraid so, sadly my collection was confiscated when the last raid didn't go so well.

Well, all I have is a Kermit the frog plastic one, do you think that'd do or should I go out and buy something special?

Providing you don't look like Kermit the Frog in real life, it should be fine.

I'll put you down on my list...

::giggles insanely:: Nope I don't, although I once stared at a man on a bus who did bear a frightening resemblence to Kermit, but I was a little drunk at the time which probably explains it...

Anyway, glad to join the gang/posse/soon-to-be-imprisoned!

I have... *rummages in Homepride mug* ...£8.23.

Will that help?

We could use it to place a bet... Then we might be able to pay for my PhD *and* to go to the ashes...

How do you feel about Australian sprinters?

I'm generally in favour of australian things,

You are almost at the top of my list of favourite Australian things. And, given that you're not a half Australian, sexy English wicketkeeper who looks good in flip-flops, that's pretty impressive.

3 x £4,000 tuition fees and 3x enough money to live, eat and travel for research.

Oooh, that might have been me, I logged into mine yesterday morning to check my flist (procrastinating, moi?)

Put me on the list, though I should warn you I'm not very good at that whole stealth thing, or driving, or handling weapons and explosives. Hmmm...Lookout?

You mean the one most likely to get caught?

Right, I'll do it if you promise that the next time you pass Orlando Bloom in the street you'll kidnap him for me 'kay?

Re: Congratulations!

yes, that's exactly what I mean!

Okay, it's a deal, but Orlando has to go to heatherbelles first, as I promised.

Ohh, you rememember.

You're the best friend ever.

Oooh, I volunteered us to act as diverstions when fringedweller wants to launch a campaign on Dominic Monaghan.

We figured that if you and me do our clutzy thing, he'll never notice her creeping up...

A reserved well done and an offer of help. Although I don't drive so best not make me the gettaway driver.

You can hold the explosives....

I'm not sure that's a good idea. I will supervise the holding of the explosives from far far away.

Possibly, but what's my cut?

(30K all at once? Or over a period of time?)

Date: 2006-06-20 08:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lemonbella.livejournal.com
30K over 3 years and to various things.

That means we could break it down into several robberies (in which we could secure you a cut) or my entire friends list could start defrauding their employers...

I say think big -- all at once, and then launder it safely out the country, kill off a convenient great aunt (real or imaginary, adopt one if absolutely necessary) and inherit it. If the amount's big enough and the accounts are offshore, you'll be fine.

I'd be willing to take my share in small, unmarked islands. Preferably Caribbean.

Would you settle for the Isle of Wight? It's quite picturesque at this time of year.

You've obviously got previous, you can be the brains of the outfit.

I thought you were American :P You'll love Uni, I'm at Uni in Nottingham (Trent, not *the* Nottingham uni). Come visit :P Money can be earnt through volunteering as a hairdressing model/medical experiment subject ;)

Nope, I'm British. I've been to uni twice already (Liverpool and Reading) so I can't have found it that bad!

Maybe if i sell my body to medical science....

Hee. Don't be dissing the Trent, it's not that bad. I did go there for my Post-Grad.

I've been harrasing Lemonbella for *ages* to come visit, and the most I get it "well, when I go to Trent Bridge for the cricket..."

I feel abused.

But, count me in on the bank robbery thing. I can do diversons, and also may be able to provide items from the Fringedweller supply cabinet.

Ooh and if I won a Lottery jackpot type thing, I'd fund you... But as I don;t often buy a ticket, don't count on it.

Seriously though, congrats!

I would never diss Trent. I am proud to be a Poly, not a Toff!

Shall we run a joint kidnapping operation and make her visit? We could rob banks on the way...?

If *the* Nottingham Uni is the posh one I dread to think what Trent must be like...

That's just unnecessarily harsh.

It's a bit grubby, but the teaching was pretty good. Of course, nmine was vocational, so normal Uni-type stuff I can't pass verdict on really!

Date: 2006-06-22 10:58 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] clandescent.livejournal.com
I suppose it was, I apologise.

I can't speak for the teaching as the OU have their own tutors, but the accomodation was pretty skanky. The labs at Queens Medical Centre are great though. I really enjoyed working there even though the place is like a labyrinth and I was constantly lost!

Date: 2006-06-23 06:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] heatherbelles.livejournal.com
Heh, I was just messing about!

I can believe the accomadation was pretty grim, just from walking past the outside.

The Queen's Med is a complete mze, it really is.

If we kidnap a celebrity during the course of the heist we may be able to write it off as a fringedweller black-ops operation...

Does that make the balaklavas tax deductable?

Date: 2006-07-02 05:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lemonbella.livejournal.com
Oooh, good plan. we could kidnap various celebrities, write off much of our expenditure, and then rent out said celebrities to make a steady income.
