Oh, you've really not been here in a while.

No, not for ages.
I occasionally have a look, but it seems usually to be threads about lunch or Monty being... well, Monty. I can't compete with that.
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 20:58, Reply)

Come over more often.
Monty does seem to be the King of /ot at the mo. I'm not complaining, mind, I like Monty.

If Monty is King, is Crow the queen?

Darth foxtrot.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 20:55, Reply)

I saw the FB group, and saw the programme...
... and so knew which competitor it was. But I didn't know the screenname.

So, that's Darth, then. Good-oh.

can't believe I am actually
voluntarily watching weakest link :(

which one is he?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 20:56, Reply)

I'm going to watch it later.
I was interested to hear what he sounded like. I don't know what I expected.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 20:58, Reply)

He is Martin
The Telecommunications Analyst from Norwich. (FNAR FNAR. HE'S AN ANALYST.)

I've never actually watched The Weakest Link before either. Does Anne Robinson suffer from some kind of lockjaw?

Weakest Link questions are always easy.
Must be tough being under the lights and all that though.

I was surprised he wasn't the campest on the show.

I need something to scramble my position without compromising Java.
outside of Britain, I can't watch anything on iPlayer.

I'm sure they can.

(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:14, Reply)

So have you left for good,
or are you coming back?
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:21, Reply)

definitely coming back, just not straight away.
Currently debating whether I stay and finish my degree here (so three years), or whether I try to finish it in England, or whether I deferr it for two years after my first year and come back.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:22, Reply)

With all the hassle about fees over here
especially international fees, you'd be best off finishing your degree in Aus. Really. You could always try for a placement year over here but you'd probably have to do it for free - and it also depends what field you want to go in to.
(berk, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:24, Reply)

I want to go into Pathology.
I've got my reasons to come back, and also my reasons to stay here until it's done.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:26, Reply)

Pathology how exactly?
like a clinical pathologist or like a pathology department in a hospital, where they test all the samples?
(berk, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:28, Reply)

the Latter.
People always need pathologists. But with my biomedical science degree, in aus at least, I can work as a lab tech in hospitals with it. So hopefully I can do that.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:31, Reply)

Did I link you to the IBMS?
you can work as a lab tech with your degree - but it'd be a total waste, and also you only get paid about £14k. If you're serious about working over here as an NHS biomedical scientist, I would contact the lab manager at the hospital you want to work at and see if they'll let you complete your portfolio. It takes about a year full time, and I highly doubt they'd be able to pay you, but it means that when you finish your degree you'll be qualified and thus much more employable if you did choose to move over here.
(berk, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:37, Reply)

thanks for the tip. I think you did link me to it yeah.
14K in pounds is still about 22K in AUD, which is more then enough to live on.

By the time you come back it won't be.

Depends where you live
it's do-able, but you'd never be able to get a mortgage on your own and probably not with anyone else who was on roughly the same wage. It's also a pathetic graduate wage and you wouldn't be fulfilling your potential, I've done it myself and it's largely admin :)
(berk, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:42, Reply)

I don't think the fees thing will make any odds at all to non EU students.
They're already paying through the nose; the fees thing just means that UK students are likely to have to pay the same.

It's nice to be appreciated. I don't get much in the way of props on OT.
