What is this?
9.15am and there isn't a question? Why? Where is everybody?

I'm really bored at work, nothing to do, so I'm contemplating the idea of starting to write something. I used to write all the time before coming to England and having a busy live with work and stuff, but it's been so long, I'm worried I don't know how to do it again, if you know what I mean.

What would you like to try or do again that you're putting off because you are too worried that you might get bad results?

And yes, now that you explain, it is funny, isn't it? Mourning. Ha. (no sarcasm intended)

Silly Aber, education isn't for poor people
if they got educated, they might start thinking they had the same rights as rich people. Imagine the chaos!
(I helped save b3ta! The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 9:52, Reply)
the problem isn't anything to do with rich or poor.
It's a societal failure to understand that higher education is not some right everyone has. It is a right of intellectual priviledge, not financial. If we accepted that, stopped trying to get everyone who can tie their fucking shoelaces together into uni, then we wouldn't have a HE system that cannot be supported by the state.

That, and the tories, of course.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 9:58, Reply)
the rich poor thing is stupid anyway
when it comes to this. A large proportion of people won't pay up front, but use loans, so it makes no difference what your circumstances are before you go to uni, you are still in the same boat.

My folks are reasonably high income middle-class, and as such I was screwed at uni because I get the max fees (at the time) and minimum loans etc. Poor people were a shitload better off than I was.

Yes
I don't know why it's so importanta that almost everybody has to have a degree. There are really good jobs, well paid, safe and stable that don't need a degree. My brother didn't study a degree, and he's got a job for 4 years now, happy as a bunny, with a fixed income. My sister study a degree and she's on permanent search of scholarships to pay for her next year's research; can't afford a house or even holidays.

I would say that of my friends half of the most successful ones
didn't go to uni.

I'm glad I did, not least because I met Mrs V there, but because it's hard to get into civil engineering without having done so these days.

If I were to go through it now though I'd seriously consider an apprenticeship or something instead.
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:05, Reply)
I agree
I like my job and couldn't have got it without a degree. However, I wonder what would have happened if instead of listening to my mother and got into Uni, I would just done what I wanted and keep writing. I wouldn't have met Mark, probably, but I don't think I'd have done too badly.

it's a disgrace, to ask young people to put such an ammount of money to pay for their education. I don't know what I would do, finish the University and having to pay a loan like that.

I'd be genuinely interested if you can provide an example of a country
that has a properly democratically elected government, a safe and stable economy, and the same level of HE participation as the UK, that still has a fully state funded HE system. Seeing as how (looking at Europe at least) I think I can rule out every country on the basis of at least one of those four points.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:19, Reply)
you're making the mistake of allowing facts to get in the way again

(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:22, Reply)
Seriously
I hate the way the HE system is here, but I'm pretty certain the reasons are much more deep seated than a generic "blame the government again" ... So I am genuinely interested in an example of how it can work and be free. I just don't think there are any. It's very easy to talk about the grass being greener when you can't actually see the other grass.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:25, Reply)
I can see the other grass
I studied in Spain, as did all my friends. None of them were rich, we were all medium-low incomes. I got a bit of a reduction on my fees for being in a big family and for having good marks, but I know other friends who didn't. None of us or our parents had to get into debt to pay for uni.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:28, Reply)
Spain is ruled out
both on the grounds of lower % HE participation and on not even being close to having a stable economy. Sorry. It's all very well slinging public funding at education but if you bankrupt the country and the Eurozone has to bail you out, that's what's known as a technical fail.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:29, Reply)
Spain is not in bankrupt
at least not yet, no one has bailed Spain, and, as I've said before, the problem with our debt is the corruption and the millions that go to politicians for doing nothing; as they can have 2 public salaries (unless everybody else), don't pay taxes, get a fixed pension after 8 years of work...

But yes, lower %HE helps too, and I think that's right. And I think that's why the UK is having so much trouble. Too many people going to Uni.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:35, Reply)
not yet, no. but there is a major emphasis on "yet"
but, regardless, Spain doesn't really count on my conditions above. Although I see advantages in proportional fees system like in Spain. We used to have something similar here, but it's very expensive to manage and very easy to defraud or exploit (kids of rich divorcees tended to get full grants, for example) ... but if you can get round that, it's a good system.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:47, Reply)
Not full state funded HE system
but people with lower incomes do get it for free. People with the highest marks get it for free too. Mediocre and rich people pay for everyone else to go to Uni.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:26, Reply)
you know that we have that here, too, right?

(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:28, Reply)
However
you complain that people with medium incomes have to pay the same as people with high incomes. If you're good or poor you get it for free, then the people who pays is who has to pay.

Problem is that, as I see it, you have to be very poor to get it for free here, and if you go past the mark, you have to pay the full bill.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:36, Reply)
that, I agree, is a bit of a problem.
I think it is to do with ease of adminstration of the system, but that doesn't make it right.
(I helped save b3ta! the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:48, Reply)
it's not a disgrace
it's an inevitability of the system as it is. The fundamental flaw is in mindset.

how do other countries manage? Less money for benefits, less allowing bussiness to evade taxes, and more money to Universities.

smaller percentage of the population going to university

(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:08, Reply)
no, lower % of people going into HE, I expect.
(the benefits thing really is a massive load of Mail inspired bullshit, you know that, right? we really don't spend a fortune on benefits here. Try, oh, say, Ireland as a comparison)

Also, a lot of other countries allow high levels of private funding of universities. Financially useful, but academically and morally very questionable.

Ballet springs to mind. I would love to be able to do it well, but it's REALLY fucking difficult. And I was always the only bloke in the class, and everyone else was significantly younger and better than me.

What we need is a B3ta Ballet class! I wouldn't feel so inferior then. Kitty, Applebite and anyone with any previous dance or gymnastics experience isn't allowed to come.

And it would have no useful purpose for me any more. As a kid I dreamt of being a professional footballer, but I think my moment to do so may have passed now. Whereas if I was good at Ballet it would be enormously useful for my Ballroom, in respect of balance, posture and flexibility.

it's on that top ten rock and roll lies hall of fame. i can't remember the others, except that the number 1 entry is the rumour that paul mccartney was killed in a car crash in the 1960's and was replaced by a look-a-like.

the amount of "evidence" people have dug up never ever ever ceases to baffle me. eg the "abbey road" album cover is apparently the band's way of telling the truth because paul is barefoot. which is a symbol of death. and is the only one with a cigarette. another symbol of death, donchaknow.

it was £4.50 for a base and 3 toppings. if you were then greedy and chose to add lots of different vegetables to your salad, it was £1 per extra topping.

Are they taking applicants from outside US?
and is it a specialist role that you're confident a non-US resident is the only person that can do it?

If not, don't bother, the H1B system is still recovering from the terrifying raping that the Bush administration gave it. Astoundingly difficult for a company to get one for a new employee.

not trying to put you off
I've no real idea how specialist what you do is, so you might have no problems. The issue has been (historically over the last 10 years or so) that a really high proportion of H1Bs go to programmers from the Indian subcontinent who are highly skilled but will work for half the salary of US programmers. At last count there were only about 50,000 to 100,000 H1Bs available per year. Unless Obama has repealed that particular restriction.

I agree
Spent an evening there a few years back and loved it.

Loads to do.
Wine country, Pacific Ocean, SoCal, Washington State, Californian women.

You could do a lot worse.

You are forgetting a major drawback, though:
Californian hippies *shudder*

Bastard hippies.

Ta muchly!
Had a great weekend, despite the looks of disgust from friends and strangers alike. No change there then.
How are you?

I'm good ta
great weekend. Have come to a definite tattoo conclusion over the last couple of days, so subject to finding somewhere appropriate I reckon I'll go and get it in July.

Good man! What have you settled on?
I'm getting another next month at the Liverpool Tattoo Convention.

but shape is slightly different, and it'll be plain black, not blue and flamy

I remember this
From a book, no? And whereabouts on your body?

yeah
front of the left shoulder, sort of just under the end of the collarbone

Sweet!
I bet it'll look great dude. I'm getting a handpoked one started on the tops of both feet.

ooof, painful no?

(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:46, Reply)
More than normal, yes
Apparently handpoked tatts don't swell up as bad, which is a relief as I'll be driving to and from Liverpool.

I'll just have to drive extra fast
So I get home before I have an accident.

Garth Nix books?

(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:45, Reply)
yeah
I find the idea appealing, and if I get the urge to get more I can use more of the symbols
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:46, Reply)
I've not read those
I thought they were just kids books that were a bit better than average. Have I missed something important?
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:47, Reply)
I wouldn't say it they are important by any means.
being a kids book doesn't necessarily mean it isn't worth reading.
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:49, Reply)
i didn't mean kids books aren't worth reading
but there is a habit of kids fantasy books to look OK, but be a bit meh...I need convincing before I'll read them
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 10:53, Reply)
fair enough
they are certainly better than most kids fantasy I'd say. Not as good as say The Hobbit though.

You're not going for that '/Off Topic' monogram are you?
Please say no.

You and me both, old chap
I've realised that I've become very good at searching and browsing job websites, and occasionally looking at the half-finished version of my CV, before I get to the end of the day and realise I've not actually applied for anything.
