Justin Morley

Justin, as you may have guessed, is a fan of "all the heavy metal bands you've never heard of".

He doesn't always dress like that though (yes, that's him on the left).

And Richard does smile sometimes.

  Matt Lees, with a long cigarette.

Another physics graduate from Manchester and project partner in my fourth year. He is now completing a facinating PhD project involving convection.

1996-2002.

There was a time when the fore-mentioned Justin Morley frequntly wore pink dungarees and Matt frequently multi-coloured trousers, and so

There was a young man called Matt Lees
Who never wore pink dungarees.
But he did wear trou-
Sers that were red and brown
And were blue, mauve, white, orange and green!

Here's Matt again
When he first looked at this photo, he didn't recognise himself!

1998-2001

and Joanne Taylor

1995-2001.

There was once a young lady called Jo
To beer, she'd seldom say 'No'.
If you gave her plate
Of milk chocolate
In no time at all it would go!

1996-2001

There was a young man called Chris Drayton
His manorisms were frustratin'
He was in the crew
And a good thing too
'Cos his singin' voice was irritatin'

That is actually a complete lie, but it sounds good.

Ruth Finlayson, another Physics graduate, with a silly grin.
