Well first I have to get myself some A-Levels. Will most likely be taking subjects that would help me in a legal environment. English is a must obviously, the A-Level courses in law differ based on the type of law. I'm going to try and get into the one on criminal law.

Sounds like a plan. But do you actually have to go to a Uni or can you study them at home or what?

I'm still expecting you to bail me out of any trubal with da law you know:P

I'll be going to college of course. I can see myself staying in my current job though so I'll probably do it as a part time thing.

Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:47 pm

Oh yeah, you live near civilisation dont you?

Well good luck with it all, your definatly smart enough to win at any course. :mrgreen:

How long will a part time one take?

Kinda makes me not want to waste my life anymore though....naw

WFT!? Some c**t just attacked me in Ogame! I'm gonna turn his planet to dust!

Eh, don't say that. I often think I've wasted my life so far, but I'm still doing the things that I love. I feel pressured to go to college again because it's what people expect of me. I'd much rather just earn a modest living and live a happy life. There's nothing wasteful about that.

People have the idea that their lives are more than just fleeting specks in the grand scheme of things, and expect so much from themselves and each other. I just want to be happy in my own way.

Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:11 pm

Then why not just do that?

I claim I'm only in college to try an improve some art skillz. But really it's because my parents will disown me if I don't go to Uni. It has not made me happy so far, nor does it have any real job prospects.

Which is ok, because I would be most content with a very modest job and lifestyle as long as I was free to do what I want.

Dust in the wind and all that.

I must make it perfectly clear though, there will be no drunken naked wrestling at night.

I'll be down for the Saturday night to increase drinking opportunities, probably booking a twin for myself and Bob. Isn't it too early to rule out the drunken naked wrestling entirely? At the very least we should be expecting some variation of armchair sumo (greatest game I ever invented!) to spontaniously ensue. Plus the day after the con is a Naked Sunday (second cleverist thing I ever came up with, right after Promiscuous Wednesdays).

I just got sacked from my job :-(

Blooming arseholes!!!! Did anyone have any problems with this site last night???? The AA is just outside birmingham city centre, you cant miss it.

My parents never forced me to go to college or Uni, but i do wish id paid more attention at school, and possibly gone to college, hence why im doing an open Uni course now. But as long as i have enough money to do what i like, im happy. Im sick of having it rammed down the throats of kids that they HAVE to go to Uni, and how special they are. End of the day, Uni just seems to be where the lazy idle waste's of space go so that they dont have to get a job, and run up massive debts and avoid paying back by doing other and extra course's, and by the time they leave, they are 20+ with NO experience which ANY gaffer will tell you, is the most important thing. Balls to all these A*'s and crap.

Tekka, you should know you must hold the answer to ALL questions. Hmmmm i know there was something else i was gonna say, but i cant remember.

Waaaaghlord will you be joining us in AA Odb t shirts?? trying to get rough numbers together. I dont need to stay over anywhere, i can be back home from there within an hour

Well i went back on thursday, but they got me into a meeting today and forced me to resign basically sacking me. sods.

Ok, ive calmed a bit now, SOME students do that stuff. I do believe Uni is overrated though.

I had a feeling it was a bit of a rage induced post. I agree that there are some people who go to uni to avoid getting a job. I wasn't originally going myself, but realised that without a degree there will be a point where I can advance no further up a career path.

I still had my reservations on the first day - but now I am so glad I went, my year group is only small (less than 30) so I've been able to become friends with everyone. The only thing that annoys me is the huge amount of free time I have (I know I'm supposed to be working but unless I'm under pressure I don't work well). 5 hours of lectures a week makes my student flat almost pointless.

Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:31 am

i think uni is great for certain things where you actually need the qualification, its the bollocks courses that annoy me, the ones that dont lead to anything.

it makes me laugh pnly having 5 hours a week, you'd think they'd shorten the course or somethjing, but i suppose you need revision learning time too

i just got a new job (man i love temp agencies) £1 an hour extra too :grin:

New Product Alert!

My local Sainsburys is stocking wave 2 Movie Robot Heroes. I very nearly picked up the Prime vs Scorponok set but decided against it (for now).

Mon Feb 18, 2008 8:58 am

Sainsburys has Robot Heroes? YAY! Thanks for the update :mrgreen:

Good to hear about the new job Pot :mrgreen:

Hahaha! I am doing an utterly useless course at Uni so I can get in massive debt for years and years and have no chance of ever getting a good job to pay it off! Muhahahar!! :twisted:

Wait, that's not funny...

Hey guys, saw recon barricade at woolies today, not really diggin' the grey but thats about it around here. good thing too as i am flat broke at the moment... :-(

Mon Feb 18, 2008 12:50 pm

I've returned from my local hunting grounds and returned with.... nothing, which for me is a first :lol:

. Toys'r'us have restocked with a shelf full of leader prime and megs, voyager ratchet and blackout, robot heroes, tech things, 3" titanium's, screen battles, legends Allspark battles and the all spark ratchet blaster.

Woolworth's had tech, replica and recon barricade.

nothing else to mention, I didn't really have anytime to call in Argos, Tesco or FP today

Ever tried falling up the stairs? That's particularly difficult. And when you tell others about it, they just laugh

Tell us more about these mealworms. They sound intriuging. :-?

I've done nothing constructive. I slept, woke, got on the bus, yawned for three hours, ate, then played Halo 3 for the best part of 3 hours. Good first day back at college I thought :lol:

Alt Mirage retailed at £20 (Well, $20 as we never saw him here). You can expect to pay anywhere between £25 and £100 for him. I got mine for £25 from a great brit on here. Forums like tfw2005 and seibs are your best chance for a good deal.

Electron- that price is banging. His he mint condition? Box?

People at uni really are making a difference. This one guy I met, in his fourth year, is testing a method to cure cancer using a small golden plate. It's ingenious.

Nothing new round these parts AFAIK. Must get me some robot heroes.

Mon Feb 18, 2008 1:26 pm

Mealworms, eat their way out of things. Like stomachs. :shock:

I thought it was an urban myth, but petshop guy told me it had happened to their friend's bearded dragon, I was unsure. But then a few weeks later it happened to my mates baby savanna monitor. What a way to go...

So don't eat them whole ok?

I am drawing! I have a review tomorrow! And not enough work!

Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:03 pm

i am abso-f***in-lutly fuming!

i ordered a Starwar Transformer clone pilot/arc 170 starfighter from Play.com, and they sent me a clone pilot/republic gunship,
so i went through their returns proceedure to get the right one sorted only to have the same thing happen, so i cancelled and asked for a refund!
ordered it from amazon and have been sent a saesee tin/jedi starfighter!

No. We wouldn't be the officially disgruntled brits if they could, and we can't have that now, can we?

Yeh Everyone i know has fell up the stairs at least once, my main problem is miss judging a step and stumbling.

Wht u described as ur college day is basically my uni except i got 1 1/2 hr to travel bus and train, cant drive yet :-(

.

Well the mirage im looking at is goin for £24 on ebay, so fingers crossed noone else wants him, but he's the soonest ending time and i think i'll be safer bidding on him as in regards to another mirage thats currently £7.99 but at such a low start price ano theres gonna be a build up in price if i wait.
