  <WSC#DPC028:0005:AD>
      <?>i remember seeing it</?> on telly actually <O>clears throat</O>
      about all these people <,>

  <WSC#DPC028:0010:AD>
      they um <,,> <O>tut</O> were standing up at the back and
      everything cos they didn't have room for them

  <WSC#DPC028:0015:BF>
      they sit right down the sides

  <WSC#DPC028:0020:AD>
      is that like at your one as well <,,>

  <WSC#DPC028:0025:BF>
      yeah because the one in the music department's really small

  <WSC#DPC028:0030:BF>
      the ROOM <O>tut</O> it's about it'd be about the size of this
      <,> kitchen

  <WSC#DPC028:0035:AD>
      for forty people?

  <WSC#DPC028:0040:BF>
      mm with desks they've got a desk

  <WSC#DPC028:0045:BF>
      i mean <.>without</.> obviously without the um where it's
      enclosed there

  <WSC#DPC028:0050:AD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0055:BF>
      so it's the whole thing and um yeah they've just got desks that
      we sit at <,,><&>5</&> <&>1:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC028:0060:AD>
      <.>th</.> that's a small room

  <WSC#DPC028:0065:BF>
      yeah and so they're <.>not</.> they don't have enough desks
      that's the problem

  <WSC#DPC028:0070:AD>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC028:0075:BF>
      they just don't have enough desks so what we do is that
      sometimes we just sit down the side

  <WSC#DPC028:0080:BF>
      so <.>the</.> the idea is to get in there as early as possible
      but i mean depending on <{><[><laughs>where the train comes from</laughs></[>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC028:0085:AD>
      <[><?>yeah where you come from</?></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0090:BF>

      the other and i mean yeah

  <WSC#DPC028:0095:AD>
      <O>clears throat</O>

  <WSC#DPC028:0100:BF>
      oh <,> stop <,,> one class and you've got to piddle over to the
      next one <.>really</.> you're bound to meet heaps of people
      <laughs>on the way</laughs>

  <WSC#DPC028:0105:BF>
      you've got to <{><[><.>push</.> <O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DPC028:0110:AD>
      <[><?>you're sprinting</?> <O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0115:AD>
      pushing everyone else <{><[><?>out of the front of the line</?></[>

  <WSC#DPC028:0120:BF>

      i know some people manage to cope really well missing heaps but
      they do heaps of <.>r</.> either reading or they've just a
      really good brain and they can see how it all connects but i've
      got to kind of do a bit more work

  <WSC#DPC028:0170:AD>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0175:AD>

      lectures to pass anyway

  <WSC#DPC028:0195:AD>
      you can only miss a certain amount <,> so if <{><[>you're not</[>
      attending any of those <.>lectures</.>

  <WSC#DPC028:0200:AD>
      have you got lectures for that same course other days

  <WSC#DPC028:0230:AD>
      <[><unclear>word</unclear></[></{> but <.>of</.> out of all the
      weeks <.>that</.> of the year you're missing a lot

  <WSC#DPC028:0235:BF>
      yeah this is only half year course but yeah it's for the whole
      course yeah i suppose so <&>3:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC028:0240:BF>

      music department they don't anyway um others they do

  <WSC#DPC028:0295:BF>

  <WSC#DPC028:0450:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0455:AD>
      he would have to be a year older to be at <&>5:00</&> varsity

      behind

  <WSC#DPC028:0460:BF>

      had to go <.>to</.> through seventh form <.>bef</.> to get to
      varsity <{1><[1>to</[1> start with so he would have to be older

      the</[> honours

      i only see him when i'm working for dad and he's working for dad
      too but um

  <WSC#DPC028:0585:BF>
      so he's still working for you <,> dad

  <WSC#DPC028:0590:AD>

      which is next <.>month</.> or september or <{><[>something</[>

  <WSC#DPC028:0595:AD>
      um he hasn't worked for quite a while

  <WSC#DPC028:0600:AD>
      he used to <.>work</.> <,> like this is the <.>last</.> what two
      years at least anyway i think i've known him about that long

  <WSC#DPC028:0605:BF>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0610:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0615:AD>
      two years <O>clears throat</O> maybe a bit more

  <WSC#DPC028:0620:AD>
      <{1><[1>he</[1> was working like <O>tut</O> one day a week every
      week <{2><[2>for dad</[2>

  <WSC#DPC028:0625:BF>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC028:0630:BF>
      <[2>really?</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC028:0635:AD>
      <O>coughs</O> <O>clears throat</O> <O>tut</O> and then when he
      was having holidays um he'd work all the week

  <WSC#DPC028:0640:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0645:AD>
      pardon me <O>clears throat</O> he'd work all through the week
      and um <,> some of those weeks he works are weeks that i work so
      i <.>was</.> saw him like <&>7:00</&> through <{><[>the week</[>
      as we were both working at the same place and that

  <WSC#DPC028:0650:BF>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0655:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0660:AD>
      holidays he <.>worked</.> sometimes he worked two days a week
      but <O>clears throat</O> <{><[>most often</[> it was one day a
      week all the time unless it was holidays <,>

  <WSC#DPC028:0665:AD>
      so he told dad he couldn't work until august or september cos he
      had EXAMS

  <WSC#DPC028:0670:BF>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC028:0675:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0680:AD>
      <.>and</.> so he hasn't worked for a few months but come august
      or september or whatever month it is he'll start up again

  <WSC#DPC028:0685:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0690:AD>
      but then by the end of this year he's going <.>up</.>

  <WSC#DPC028:0695:AD>
      well next year he'll be working

  <WSC#DPC028:0700:BF>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC028:0705:AD>
      cos he's finished so he won't be able to work at all <,>

  <WSC#DPC028:0710:AD>
      so i've known him for a while but i don't get him to <.>see</.>
      see him that often

  <WSC#DPC028:0715:BF>
      no

  <WSC#DPC028:0720:AD>

      each other quite a lot cos we'd always be working <.>but</.>
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC028:0725:BF>

      same work place you know you <.>already</.> know <.>people</.>

      eight ten i don't really know how many people there were

  <WSC#DPC028:0990:AD>

      wasn't <{1><[1>it</[1> was like a real MEETING you know

  <WSC#DPC028:0995:AD>
      read the <.>me</.> minutes for <.>last</.> last meeting and they
      said oh any apologies you know and they're writing it all down
      and i went wow <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC028:1000:AD>
      i just expected it to be quite <{2><[2>informal</[2> and not
      carry on like that especially being just a social club

  <WSC#DPC028:1005:AD>
      but um no they <,,> had a secretary and a treasurer and oh it
      was a <{3><[3>bit of a laugh</[3> but um <{4><[4><unclear>word</unclear></[4>

  <WSC#DPC028:1010:BF>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC028:1015:BF>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC028:1020:BF>
      <[3>mm i suppose</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPC028:1025:BF>
      <[4>it's not as</[4></{4> if you actually looking after MONEY
      that's important <quietly>in some ways</quietly>

  <WSC#DPC028:1030:AD>
      well the <drawls>only</drawls> time we looked after money was
      when we <.>roun</.> ran a <.>few</.> run a few raffles

  <WSC#DPC028:1035:AD>
      <{1><[1>and</[1> what we'd do is um the money that we got from
      THAT we would um use it to put on the social <,> evenings that
      we had <O>tut</O> once a month <{2><[2>on</[2> a friday night we

  <WSC#DPC028:1040:AD>
      like <.>s</.> cos you know how most businesses on a friday night
      they have um <{3><[3>drinks</[3> but it would be EVERY friday
      <,>

  <WSC#DPC028:1045:AD>
      <{4><[4><O>tut</O> we</[4> didn't do that because <.>it</.> they
      used to have have that when we were in um the terrace with ALL
      our divisions <{5><[5>there</[5> <O>clears throat</O>

  <WSC#DPC028:1050:AD>
      and people when it first started used to go regularly but then
      after a while it just died down

  <WSC#DPC028:1055:AD>
      <{6><[6>so we</[6> decided it would probably be better if you
      had it <{7><[7>once</[7> a month and got EVERYONE to go <latch>

  <WSC#DPC028:1060:BF>
