That's what had infested the branch of Aldi which I always USED to like until today ... they just ... stood there ... in the aisles.
'OY' I yelled at one pair who appeared to be meditating in the presence of, or perhaps about, a baking potato, 'PEOPLE NEED TO GET PAST!'

It's about as well attended as my 9am class this morning; 31 on the register, 3 turned up on time and another one an hour late into a two-hour seminar.
And yes, they're paying the fees rather than your taxes since all those this morning are international students.

In Manchester Thursday night used to be party night for students. I used to go with a mate who was studying there and it was cheap drinks all the way with his and a few friends Uni cards
I think the local bars/ clubs got them in on thursdays just to make a bit of business before the weekend madness!
Thursdays were pretty mad too!
Many a time I had to call into work on a Friday with some sickness or other

Zombies, that is. Many of them are also nephews, I suppose, although I can think of but one of mine that actually graduated college/uni.

when I was in school (Uni) I pulled all-nighters. meaning stayed up all night in order to be prolific, not because I was deficit in my work. I was entirely immersed. in HS Friday nights were at the library while friends went to clubs & spent money. sounds like I wasn't much fun, but I had girlfriends & buddies. biked or walked everywhere. no car until college

Morning!!
Very windy this morning. The second typhoon to hit us in 5 days is on its way. It's cleared the northern Phillipines and is making a beeline along the South China Sea towards us.
We've been told the schools will likely close at lunchtime today. The kids will be told, in about half an hour, that they'll be going home at lunchtime. I expect to hear 600 cheering kids very soon.

It's possible.You met my P6 students then.
I do live near three university towns/cities though. Walking through them at times does make me wonder where we'll be in ten years time.

Did you wander about town with that lifeless look on your face, totally oblivious to what was going on around you?

Managed to crack another puzzle that's been bugging me for a long time with respect to my archive. 
People mean well, and have given me random bits over the years, invariably photocopied, but without telling me WHERE they've copied it from. It's lovely to receive stuff you don't have, but a right royal pain if you can't reference it properly or put it into context. If it's a complete page, then it's usually traceable, but if it isn't i.e. just a photograph or text excerpt, then you're left trying to match fonts and layout styles with known publications. It's tedious, painstaking work, and often, you end up barking up the wrong tree.
I've managed to trace a photograph to the November 6th 1991 issue of Motoring News. Law of Sod there's not one available for sale, but it's now on my ever-expanding list of things to track down.

Maybe. I used to commute when I did my undergrad - one hour 40 mins each way, which meant up at 6 am, leave home at 6:45 to get to 9 am lecture. Most days I didn't finish till 6 pm.
Although I usually had my nose welded in a book. I knew my journey so well, I could start reading as soon as I walked out of the door, and successfully negotiate the whole thing without stopping.
