"Its good to try, but not more than 40%" Possibly not what the university professor wanted to hear out of his students when asked; "how hard do you have to work here?" luckily he wasn't in the room at the time.
For those not in the know... So I suppose all of you, I've just returned from a day at Plymouth university for one of their 'course specific' open days. It was all rather good, especially as they decided to feed us before even finding out why we were there. It started off with a brief talk from the head of department (business school), followed by talks and tours from various other members of staff/pupils. Sorry Student ambassador's. Culminating in coffee and cake at the very end. Fantastic.
So after leaving home at 9am we hadn't really planned what's for tea. We decided by a vote of 2:1 that it was going to be a Indian, a rare treat indeed in the BT household. Unfortunately the staff at this eatery had possibly been listening to the talks that I had, because they were certainly not giving 100%. I wont bore you with the details, but needless to say that we aren't going there again, and after all the extra running around they had to do because of their mistakes, I doubt we would be welcome either. We got home around 8pm, so after 11 hours on the go, with 4 of them in a car we are all pretty tired.
One thought did strike me though as I fish around for ways of closing; for those of you who know the M5 near Weston-Super-Mare, next time you pass in darkness look out towards the hills and see whether you agree that Bristol Airport's runway is scarilly close to the edge. I swear I could see someone on a plane thinking the same thing.
