I never did work out why they put some BEds in Claude Gibb, and people who were on city campus in Coach Lane halls.

A friend of mine used to live there. When getting a taxi home, very drunk one night, she was half way down the A1 before she realised the taxi driver had thought she said Chester Le Street.

lovaine is like a breezeblock prison and there are scalding hot pipes running down and along the wall of each room where your bed is. if you're in the halls (not lovaine flats) you dont always get a cooker in every kitchen, usually just a microwave.

i enjoyed it though, i fondly remember accidently tipping brine out of my window over the sumo-wrestler two floors below in a moment of stoned madness, and me and my mate throwing up out of his window after whitying... the good old days

its not all bad

Oh it was, If you have a plan B, use that.

where you in the gibb in 01/02?

Was that a taxi back from town? Cos it was only a ten minute walk!

No mate, 00/01

Well il soon have the walls and pipes sorted have learnt a few things whilst working in the building trade

I have except my best mates mortgage wont be through until early October

bollocks. For one, you'd not be allowed, and two, what would you do? Redirect the buildings plumbing and hot water system so it circumvents your room?

ah a year before me, i was gonna ask if you remembered spike the perv who used to spy into lovaine flats from on high in claude gibb, the dirty cunt

Once you've signed the contract for halls it's nearly impossible to get back out of them again. If you aren't planning on staying in them long, I wouldn't go in at all.

get shot of the shoddy walls and box the piping in

it does say that i want to leave i can give 4 weeks notice but I dont know if id have to get another student in to replace me

Walls are generally regarded as a necessity in buildings.

You're not allowed to do anything like that - you'll get fined!

Nah, doesn't ring any bells- pity because he sounds just like the sort of person I would've been mates with.

Box the piping in?

With what? Cardboard? Last I checked it wasn't heat resistant.

Or maybe not
