Hey Lostboy, how's things up in sunny Edinburgh? Yeah, i need to dig that up and resurrect it. In the meantime, i'm using a GIMPed version of the template i used for my tattoo (yeah, finally got one) Hey chal, Edinburgh has actually been pretty sunny this year, but the cold has started to creep in again. How you doing with the career? My memory is hazy but you were busy with a high-end IT job like Java/C++ Programming or Network Engineer.

Since we moved back to the UK from Belgium the career is going very well, we've bought a house and my wife is pregnant. Feelings all sorts of grown-up right now! Have you graduated yet?

Congrats on the impending kid. Yeah I graduated, got myself a 2:1 but done bugger all with it. Finally going back to a job tomorrow after doing nothing for months. Yay.

Congrats! How come you've been off work? 2:1 is the best degree class (unless you're a genius) for the simple reason that if you get a 2:2 every time Desmond Tutu gets mentioned on the news you get a reminder that you should have maybe attended a few more lectures!

Woot, I'm one of the 2:1 club as well. Lostboy - hehe, there was one of those Tonight With Trevor "I do fudge all on this show" MacDonald scare-mongering shows on the other night, but this one was fairly valid, especially for this particular show which relies on pseudo-research and Daily Mail politics. Anyway, it was all about degrees and how for some they're essentially worthless. Depends on what you do with it really, I found mine incredibly valuable - the whole uni experience was incredibly valuable. But I can fully understand there are people who just go for the experience and nothing more. In my film class there were several people who weren't going to pursue a career in film and there were others that you just sat there and thought "why on earth is that person doing this course?". Fortunately I got through the system before Tony Blair acted on another one of his lies and brought along Top Up Fees (that scummy bastard) - and unsurprisingly university attendance is down because people can't afford to go - but some of those people are the people that should have been going but now can't because Labour keep raping the middle class who are bent over a soiled, wooden chopping block on a daily basis... *ahem* Rant over.

I was also just ahead of the fee system (it's a pity that New Labour isn't an anagram of Traitorous Assholes) but if that stupid system is still in place when my kids want to get degrees i'm going to home-universate them

[MinionZombie]

i'm going to home-universate them Lovin' it. I might have to do that too - that is if I have kids and if they go to Uni ... mind you, that's if a degree is even worthwhile by then!

Everybody i know who lived at home when they did a degree hated it by the end because a) i come from the ass-end of nowhere, and the local university-sector college (for this, read "we couldn't become a university if we tried, and we're stuck in a town that is constantly refused city status because it's a dump") does not have a good rep. b) hedonism is a little hard when your parents are in the next room Having said that, this was back when you still got a grant, i took out student loans (all paid off - don't defer them like a lot of people do because the interest accrues and people don't seem to realise this...especially drama students for some reason) and there were no tuitition fees. I'm thinking financially, life for students these days is waaaay harder going so there has to be a compromise or two.

[MinionZombie]

Indeed, it's a shame there has to be this compromise now, because campus living was sweet and likewise off-campus living was pretty sweet too. I had a complete blast, loved it all, had so much fun and got to run around like a nutter and fend for myself. It's a shame that dickhead Blair is ruining it for a lot of people, half of the university experience is fending for yourself.

My contract ran out. I've been out of the game for a long time, so much that it's embarrassing. But it looks like I have a 3 week contract for december, then hopefully a full time contract next year starting mid January.
