I hate grass

Grasslands, plants and plants that grow in the somerset levels, lets just concrete the bloody lot and build a * giant Primarni and make everyone happy. I particually hate the bit of grassland/plants that I've now spent 4 hours trying to input to a stupid vegetation data analysis program and now realised I'm still only 1/4 of the way through.

In conclusion

I HATE GRASS AND PLANTS

Claire ( 3rd year 'mature' biology student )

Wow, go for it Claire this is the place to vent all that pent up hatred

Is grass all that bad though, it's a great place for letting Beryl go for a run and the cows would have nothing to eat if it wasn't there.

Im with you but allot of people round here love it. They love it so much they will even pay for it

Bloody Grass

I have an excel sheet of 52 different types of grass....yep 52 and thats just a small sample! Now wouldn't the most sensible thing be to analysis what type of grass was the most common by means of looking at the averages on excel

OH NO

They want them in something called MAVIS, I hate MAVIS, she won't talk to excel, she wants you to input each type of grasses name and % coverage for each of the 40 samples we took so if that grass appeared in all 40 samples, you have to enter it 40 times, no copy and past all typed out by hand.

Whats even worse is this is part of the essay is to look at the type of grasses we found and then research what type of soil the grass grows in and then discuss it, would the most sensible option not be GO TAKE A FRIGGING SOIL SAMPLE......and breath!!!

I usually love my course, but this has got to be the most long winded thing I've ever had to do to earn a mark!

Sod the cows, let them get to starvation point and then they can pick off the weaker cows till we have a race of super cow eating cows.....ok I think I might have finally lost it ITS ALL MAVIS FAULT!

Don't think it has helped that the child has been off since last Thursday with what the doctor described today as an unexplained tummy pain that requires further investigation....well no sh*t its unexplained or I wouldn't have brought her to see you and again with the further investigation bit!!!

Is it too late for wine?!?!

Never too late for wine my love

Better out than in. Sounds like a right pain.

Didn't want to say it but I'm guessing if the program was called Mark, you might not have these problems.........and run!!!

Why not drop an email to MAVIS and ask for help:

I admire your bravery

I'll send Mavis after you with some of her bromopsis erecta major to shove up your gluteus maxims #geekjoke
