A few people dye their hair, but mostly black - as long as it's not too outlandish it's acceptable. With regards to TV, 9 isn't too late (you're a dep, bed is 10:45, lights out 11pm), more that it's 15 minutes too early (prep ends at 9:15) but if you build up a good record with prep being in on time etc, you could probably get away with it.

First, yet another welcome Idgie (however you pronounce that :wink:

As for Josh's comment above I would recommend that you look at Gemma Gemmason's recent posts (and those of the several mothers on their thread) which in essence say that you will be so overloaded with social affairs, work and other social matters you won't have the energy for TV

Josh: you suggest that the last headmaster was not conservative enough:

Just think how you personally would have been if Big Pete had been conservative and not allowed Emperors :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you dyed your hair a little lighter that would probably be acceptable. My best friends are both advocates of the perfect ginger hair dye, always trying o find the right shade, and no outlasndish colours are allowed at my school either.
betimes are a very troubling issue, what time do you usually crash out by? my favourite time is somewhere between 1am and 4am. :rock:

i don't tend to watch telly that much normaly, but there are a certain few programes that i find unmissable (Doctor Who for example :lol: ), so i was wondering what the deal with TV is. If there was something on at a time like 9 would that be seen as too late? stuffs like that.
The new BBCiPlayer should remedy that situation completely so long as you've got the bandwidth :mrgreen:

What did you think of the first episode?

Of course I mean torchwood :mrgreen:
Isn't he wonderful, :heart:
By the way, am I the only one who noticed CJH's line "Thirsty now" which I am 99.9% sure is a trademark line from Spike in BTVS??? :sherlock:
I've watched episode one 3 times already :oops: :D

Torchwood - Doctor Who - Heroes - not really my thing. That said...

The grand designs theme tune makes a FANTASTIC ringtone! As does the BBC news theme tune.

Well, I was a bit strange (ssh now!) because I lived at home for my first 6 years at CH as my parents work at the school (and live on site.)

I know that many deps stayed up in their studies once they went to bed and when I was a Grecian, I often stayed up until quite late in my study in house.... so I wouldn't worry too much about bed times...

i noticed it too but i don't think it was a line from buffy... it has been a while, but i noticed he said it and thought it had something yo do with his vampirey past!

anyway, thankyou everyone for your advice so far, i'm feeling more and more excited about it as the days go by, and i just want year 11 to be over and done with!
It's amazing to have posted for the first time - what, three days ago? and already so many people have been willing to help! :rolleyes: thankyou! :D

now; a new question! someone asked me today what everyone does on the weekends when you don't go home and don't have lessons etc. and to be honest i didn't really have much clue! so, any help?

xxxxx
be excellent to one another!
