I do physics in the 3rd year at Gunchester. Another physicist has just hooked me up with your website. Good work. You clearly are a super-efficient being! Thanks for taking the time to publish your stuff. It is certainly a big help for less organised people like myself. Have u had the pleasure of seeing the work of Mr Porlie Hues?: http://porlhews.tripod.com/id11.html Also a bit of a legend in physics circles!! Just read this thread. I wondered, given your ideal lecture, just how frustrated must you be with the reality of lectures? i.e. usually an uninspiring individual reeling of reams of shit to a bunch of highly uncaptivated students with usually no opportunity for 2-way interaction. The farce that is higher education makes me all sorts of angry. I wonder if you feel the same? Again, good work on the site. And lovin the photography. Soldner-Rembold keeping it more than real! Nice YE calendar too - I did YE (a good few years ago now) and we won Europe!!!! (Not that I like to boast or anythin!?!?) Cheers, J Alright there. I do physics in the 3rd year at Gunchester.
