I have a student loan so they just pay in bulk for me I dropped out of uni the first time so I was still eligible for a loan.skalpel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 4:32 pmDo you pay in bulk for each module btw? Do you know if its easy to switch to paying monthly or something instead? Not easy to fork out a bulk of several thousand on this every year so I've ended up leaving a pretty long interval between two of my years. It's looking like I'll finish within a 9 year period in the end .

How much is uni now in the UK? It's about $8k (£6k) a year here in the US

I dropped out of uni the first time too, only I did it after two years so I got a bunch of student debt in exchange for nothing .bigbelgiandave wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 4:46 pmI have a student loan so they just pay in bulk for me I dropped out of uni the first time so I was still eligible for a loan.skalpel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 4:32 pm

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Yeah pretty much all universities here charge £9k a year more or less in fees now, obviously students have living costs on top of that.
I graduated in 2006 and don't really see my loan as a loan, or even a debt. It's like NI, it just comes out of your pay without even noticing really. Mine is £99 a month, no idea how much I have left to pay off. For the first 6/7/8 years after uni I was only paying off about £20 a month so that just covered the interest.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
I will be doing what I can only describe as Joyless July.
I'll be giving up alcohol meat junk food and bread
My nephew is 7 and wants to do a beach clean in September so doing it to raise some money for the Blue Marine Foundation. I've given up alcohol for a month before, but this will be a real test...

My wife declared we were getting a bit podgy around the edges and enforced a no meat, bread/pastry diet for a month.Blještav Benny wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 11:26 amI will be doing what I can only describe as Joyless July.

I tried my best but was soon buying sausage rolls from shops miles away from our house (so I didn't get dobbed in by local shop keepers) and snaffling them in alley ways (in case she drove down the street and saw me eating). Afterwards I'd eat several extra strong mints to remove any hint of meat and pastry based products from my breath.
I've had prouder moments.

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Council are having a waste collection day and the local "travellers" are out trashing everything and making a mess for the scrap metal and fly tipping their s*** by the roads.
Then people wonder why they get such a bad rep and are hated by communities!!! I literally witnessed one of them smash a glass table over the field where kids play football just to get the metal legs, absolute f***ing scumbags without a shred of respect.

I had a bunch of the live at the top of the road that i used to live on down in Kent. The council put on water and electricity for them because some **** EU directive said that they deserved it in some way. They were built a shower block and toilets which they promptly tore down and sold as scrap. They used to rob the local houses all the time, terrorize the locals and were generally complete knobs.

It's got to the point that "It's their culture" has suddenly become a defence for them acting Illegally and like outright scumbags, it does boil my piss when people go on about them being victims, I don't give a s*** how you live your life as long as you live it within the law and show people and other communities respect, most people dislike them because of the s*** that happens when they arrive, not for the fact they live in a f***ing caravan.
