Welcome to the St. Paul's Christian Union unofficial messageboard. I've deleted all the old messages because it was getting a bit stagnant. Hopefully with me re-tarting everything, and with my year now being apart from school (darn) there might be more activity here.

• thankyou -- Grandma Moo, 13:31:10 11/16/06 Thu
  Your site has provided my six young Israeli delightful pupils, a wonderful insight into great songs, in the English language. As a 76 year-old teacher of English conversation the lyrics are an excellent teaching aid. Greatfully, Muriel Harris-Salant.

• First CUAG Event of Tern -- matt, 14:58:09 11/12/05 Sat
  This coming Thursday (17th November) we have a meeting booked with our MP Susan Kramer at an office in the House of Commons to talk about what she is doing about "Trade Justice". The meeting starts at 5.15, so we are all going to congregate in the antechapel at 4.15 and make our way over.
  
  However, we are going to meet at Wednesday at 1.15 in the antechapel to discuss the type of questions and arguments we are going to put forward.
  
  More talk about that at the Meeting tomorrow - which is John Howard (LIE! LIE!).
  
  That boys, is a fact. (P.S. references to the antechapel on here in old posts is enough to make my heart break - meeting about that with ben taylor on monday).

• Hello CU students! -- Wing from Asia, 22:18:01 04/01/05 Fri
  I'm a visitor passing by. I live in Hong Kong, surfing through websites to find some abandonwares in between the 1980's and the 1990's. I downloaded a song "Bridge over Troubled Water" and I felt extremely impressed when I was listening to this great classic. I love this site!

  Stumbled upon this site looking for "The Sound of Silence" way ack in the summer. I just finished going through all the songs now, haha. Some real nice songs on here, some of ehich I found to be kinda inspirational. Much thanks for allowing me to hear them.
  
  By the way, what exactly is the Saint Paul's Christian Union and the house parties? And where did you get all those songs from?

• Update on SSSK bikeathon -- John Mellor (now in L8th), 12:18:55 01/15/04 Thu
  Wow, this goes forum back a long time. Hope people still read it!
  
  On the Sunday after the end of the Autumn term, 23 CU members from all years went to Richmond Park to do a sponsored bikeathon from dawn to dusk (8 hours).
  It was in aid of Students Supporting Street Kids (SSSK), a charity set up to help deprived street children all over the world, run in large part by CU officers (Gordon Couch, Tom Stephens, Johnny Wacher, Charlie Bretherton, Jay Bridger).
  After splitting into groups based vaguely on ability we went round the park between 3 and 7 times (each lap is 8 miles).
  We hope to have raised around £1500 altogether.
  I'd like to congratulate everyone who took part.
  All in all it was good fun, but very tiring :)
  
  The CU carol-singing this year was also in aid of SSSK, and was great fun and very successful.
  Next update soon.
  
  I hope all of you have a good time at school/uni/etc.

  Hello, has anyone got any ideas for a route for a charity Cycle ride? Medium distance (20-40miles). Would towpath be good...or perhaps Richmond park? It would be nice to get a reply even if you have no ideas...at least that would show people do still read these.

  Right... whoever the hell you are. I've worked myself into an angry frenzy in order to reply to your pedantic linguistic musings. 1.) I was under the impression that no-one read this page anyway. 2.) No-one likes a smartarse. 3.)I misspelt Amazing grace too, but you didn't pick me up on that. You moron. 4.) PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS ALL TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. I'M SURE YOU'RE A VERY NICE PERSON AND, IF YOU MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN, THEN I'M SURE THAT POINT WILL BE VERIFIED. 5.) I forgot to mention the band's name so searching for said song would be fruitless. It's (that's correct... and so's that... and so is that) called the Dropkick Murphys (it is 'it' because 'it' is a band). 6.) Yer mum. 7.) okay... I've run out of points... RESPOND TO PROMOTE DEBATE AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I SHOULD ACTUALLY VISIT HERE. Cheers then, Rich

  There's a Celtic-North American punk band who do a cover of The Wild Rover on one of their CDs (either The Gang's All Here or Sing Loud Sing Proud I think) in case you're interested in expanding the MP3 collection. No, I'm not taking the piss. They also do Amzing Grace but, as far as I can remember, that's just an instrumental version so probably not much use.

  Hello
  Just thought I'd say hi. Was going to ask how everyone's doing but I've just read your messages so I guess I know. Life at Nottingham ranges from fantastic down to deeply mediocre, probably just depending on my mood. No real problems as yet, just far too much work. Easy work but huge volumes of it. Some very cool bars round here but mostly awful cheesy club nights. I've totally quit rowing and am now doing trampolining and snowboarding, both wicked fun.
  Does anyone read/post to this apart from Dougie, Helene, Rich, Tim & Cosmo? Just wondering...
  Hope you're all well

  have made lots of nice friends and a semi-love interest (he's only semi-interested...). my dad's coming up today, so i've cunningly tidied up and hidden the booze and fags in my neighbour's room. and hopefully i'll get a lunch that doesn't come from a microwavable pack or involve toast in some way. woohoo!
  
  my course is going well, and i'm really enjoying it- doug, I think you're right to hold out for the thing you'll really enjoy. i do an essay a week, and a fair bit of reading. but sometimes, i can't be arsed to get up for ten o'clock lectures.
  
  i'm totally skint (UNI TIP # 17- don't get into the habit of drinking double vodka red bulls, its the champagne of the student bar.) so i'm looking forward to returning to "hotel parental" in the holidays for an all-expenses paid stay... and of course to seing you guys.
  
  anyway i have to play lacrosse this afternoon so i'm gonna go get my kit out the washing machine!
  
  lots of love h xxx

• Uni flipside -- Rich, 09:13:35 11/13/01 Tue
  Alright there boyz, girlz and Jack Wellby,
  
  Sorry to hear about the Brum thing Doug. You may as well do something you're happy doing... but what will you actually do for the year even if you do stay in Halls of Residence? I hope I don't sound too obnoxious but I am interested, genuinely.
  
  Contrarily I'm enjoying uni, and my course. I'm doing the bare minimum to scrape through. Not reading any non-essential books, looking like a bit of an arse in seminars because of it, reading the books crucial for assessed essays, and doing well (passing) in anything I've got to do well in. Laura does far more work than me.
  
  TOP UNI TIP #23 - If you have the bar footy table in the common room use it. It means that you might be fairly good when you get to uni.
  
  I'm also a music journalist now. I've reviewed a single (the safety in numbers ep by idoru - 7/10) and an album (Swing When You're Winning by Robbie Williams - 8/10). I just get free stuff and write about it. It's so cool. Radio station fell by the wayside a bit... I might try and pick it up again at a later date. But being a music journalist is so cool. I get to go to gigs free (not yet though... I've only been doing it 6 days!) and don't need to spend loads of money on CDs.
  
  Love life - there's not really anyone I like that much any more. The lovely Emily is still be a target, obviously, but apart from that I haven't met any girls which I like in a girlfriend sense. In theory I should know a girl called Claire who does French who I chatted to on Friday... she was average with the cider visor... jeez. That didn't go anywhere though. I don't care though because I love music journalism more than any woman. But if a nice woman came along then I wouldn't say no. In fact I'd day yes. Oh and Doug. Build yourself up to it, then ask whoever it is out. I did... didn't get me anywhere... but I don't live with the eternal spectre of 'What Ifs'. (Mental note - Still got to do very obvious!)
  
  Anyway... cool... I am so cool... and so are y'all... but when I'm forty and spouting self-opinionated bullshit on a regular basis then you can say you knew me before it all happened. I may disown you, but it's worth a go anyway. So, stay beautiful and see some of you at Christmas.
  
  Rich
  
  ps. Happy 14th Birthday Doug

• Let hilarity be unbounded -- Tim Holmes, 14:16:42 11/12/01 Mon
  I've just been watching Doctor Terrible's House of Horrible, a rather mediocre new comedy with Steve Coogan, when who should I see ushering a pair of naked young girls into a small pool, then having his body pulled up to the surface again later than our very own BASIL MOSS! Laugh? I nearly shat myself.

  Brief update on what is happening in the second biggest city in Britain (although not a patch on the biggest and best):
  
  I've dropped out of my course.....after just 7 weeks. It did really suck and I really tried, but I hated it with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Oh well.
  
  I'm picking up a business commerce degree; but guess what? I can't start until next October, because it's too late.
  
  Consequently, I have no lectures until next October!
  
  I'm trying to stay in my hall of residence, because I'm so happy there and here at Brum. I should be able to, and if I can I shall get a job or something, and earn back the money I've paid for accomodation this year (we get back all the tuition fees).
  
  I am writing the book on pussyfooting around girls I like and think don't mind me too much. Enjoying it muchly though.
  
  I'm really struggling to get out of bed before 11 on any day :)
  
  See you all soon (don't forget to wish me a happy birthday on the 14th).
  
  love Dougie

• Harry Potter... the debate goes on -- Rich, 06:16:46 11/11/01 Sun
  Okay so she was busy... she was going to a ball. Cosmo, I'd love to agree with you about the franchise thing. But if Harry Potter is the way by which I can get a girlfriend and, eventually, sex on a regular basis then I have to sell out I'm afraid. Anyway she was busy... but if she wants to go then what can I do? You see Cosmo, this is the thing about women. They get you to behave irrationally but if it makes them happy then fair play... that's what I think anyway. Enjoy your principles... but sell out when it comes to a nice woman! The film was pretty good for what it was. It was too long. The effects were great. There wasn't enough about the Philosopher's Stone bit. There were no gangsters, guns or swearwords. It's going to make a lot of money (mainly out of blokes like me... and parents). A LOT OF MONEY. But it hasn't prompter me to read the books.
  
  Cheers, Rich
  
  ps. What did '...because she got it totally wrong mean'?
  pps. Jack Wellby... you were great last night... in that film!
  ppps. The start of Harry Potter is very similar to the start of Jane Eyre... thought you'd like to know!

• Blah blah bloody blah -- Rich, 10:30:54 11/05/01 Mon
  Well I've done subtle ("Yeah we should definitely go out for a drink at some time.") and I've done pretty obvious ("What are you doing next week. Do you want to go out... (SHE LOOKS SURPRISED/SCARED/HORRIFIED) or do you just want to play it by ear?") so it looks like only the VERY OBVIOUS APPROACH is left. She just doesn't bloody know!!! Anyway I've invited her to an advance preview of Harry Potter (with other people) but she's got to get back to me on it. The percentage chance of success rate seems to be steadily decreasing... oh well. I did my bit! ps.Give me a call at some point Helene, you beautiful woman!

• Well, sort of. We have been out, and we have invited each other out at various points this week. In theory we've 'gone out' because we've been somewhere other than 'in' and we've been there together. Now I just need to do the final bit and not bottle it... again. I refuse to ask by text message, and phone doesn't seem ideal. I'll keep you all informed of course. -- Rich, 17:01:03 10/26/01 Fri

• Okay Fess -- Rich, 04:00:58 10/20/01 Sat
  Okay then Doug (you stroppy git) don't tell us. Well, it's lucky that I'm far more open. I'm currently psyching myself up to ask a nice girl called Emily out. She's away for the weekend, but I'm sure I'll see her next week and, hopefully, I won't completely freeze like I did on Thursday. If it actually works then I'll give you more details but, be warned, my love is usually confined to periods of about a week and a half so in a few days I may have changed my sights and locked in on someone else. But Laura claims to have seen indisputable signs that Emily likes me so I think I'll give it a go (I want to be a boyfriend and not just a brother... d'you know what I mean). But come to Ealing meeting on 28th and I'll give a full account of my uni exploits including such stories as... lending my Barcelona shirt to the naked guy, threatening one of my flatmates with a balaclava and a Koch Messer knife, the times I try to cook, Emily, Medication, pub crawls, SURGE Radio, The Edge (not from U2, English Society... oh just everything. But I'm not going to use all my points at once.

  You can't just feed us a yes about the 'birds' and leave it. Come on Doug. You know better than that. In fact I'm currently trying to work the Heapy magic (with success it should be added) on a very nice young lady called... (TO FINISH THIS SENTENCE AND HAVE THE NAME OF MY INTENDED, YOU MUST BULLY DOUG INTO SHARING HIS INFORMATION, OTHERWISE YOU'LL NEVER FIND OUT.) So come on Doug, don't tantalise us with suggested stories of dangerous liasons and uncompromising positions. I URGE YOU TO SHARE IT WITH THE NATION.
  
  I'll tell you all soon, that is if Doug meets the conditions
  
  See you at Ealing meeting on 28th October, Rich
  
  ps. Laura is one of my flatmates who does English... it's not her... she knows it's not her, so if you thought you knew then you were sadly mistaken.
  pps. Sorry about the Brum/Bristol mix-up Doug. Very offensive and very sorry

• BIG UP RESPECK FROM THE SARF COAST GANGSTA -- THE NOTORIOUS BIG ****, 09:27:40 10/12/01 Fri
  Blah blah blah... my name's Helene... I'm in Cambridge. Doesn't it just make you sick? Okay so I'm at Southampton and I'm not as intelligent as most of the people at Cambridge but I don't care. I'm 'avin' it large on the sarf coast. Just because I don't have short terms and meals provided. I'm livin' it. I'm lovin' it. Okay so I may be ignorant but Ignorance is Bliss and I love it. No offence but it's so much better than being at school. I don't miss school. I don't really miss my friends or family either as it goes. But I do still care (big up to the Ealing crew). So sorry for being in Southampton but I'M IN THE REAL WORLD.
  
  ps. love you Helene. Just a joke. I got home fine but don't let me loose on Heineken, vodka and mailbu ever again. The whole next day was not pretty but most of it was quite liquidy... nice!!!
  pps. Alright Doug? How's Bristol (see, that's not Cambridge... we're big men... we're living it.)

Thanks a lot.
