Laura Jane Doherty - Thursday, 8 March 2007, 01:48 PM Can the rude tarts in wilt please start using up the chairs in the middle of each row instead of just using the seats at the end?
I arrived late after a tutorial on Tuesday and nobody took the initiative to move along to make way for all the people who ended up scattered along the stair. In fact, most people just rudely blanked everyone who was wanting a seat.
It's very off putting for those amongst us who've only just meandered over from the kelvin building. It's a scary transition to make and you should really do all you can to welcome us kelvin refugees.
If it still remains too difficult then i'll be put off going to lectures altogether, will fail my degree and leech off the state for the rest of my life JUST to annoy you by making sure your taxes are nice and high for the rest of your working life.
Thank you.

Stephanie Gilmartin - Thursday, 8 March 2007, 06:29 PM SO wise and concise Miss Doherty! As a fellow evacuee I feel that the way we were treated was simply unacceptable. The eventualities you foretell will no doubt occur, however i feel that to let such ignorant fools ruin our degrees/lives would be against my principles. Instead I propose that we sigh loudly, and failing that, shout MOVE! at them. OR, they could all be sent off to a finishing school in Switzerland in order to learn appropriate scholarly etiquette. HEATHENS.

Seriously, it's not as if it's a big deal, I can't beleive that there is a disscussion on moodle about something so petty, especially in refernce to your comments about it being a Kelvin/WILT divide.
I was in Kelvin and in fact I was sitting on a row on Tuesday with three seats to the left of me empty, but before I had a chance to move up, or catch the eye of the person who was looking at said seats to offer to move along, they'd already sat down on the steps.
It's not a hostile subject and this enitre thread is slightly ridiculous.

Laura Jane Doherty - Friday, 9 March 2007, 05:52 PM Well, I did ask people to move along and the point I'm making is that we were ignored.
There was no way I could have been at the lecture earlier, unless i'd left my english language tutorial early...
If people can complain about people talking in lectures then i think i have just as much right to complain about not even having the right to getting to sit next to a chatter box.
It's not as if there are many other profound arguments going on; it's a virtual café for chrisssake.
I was just hoping that maybe a lecturer would see this and maybe mention it if a similar thing was to maybe happen again.
Sorry if i spoiled your enjoyment of the internet world.
