shouldn't there be some kind of evening thread by now?
alt q (because the top one is barely a question worthy of the name): what's the worst or stupidest exercise you've ever done?

Mine was a Zumba dance lesson where the instructor made us dance to the birdy song :(

it's all core strength stuff
pretty good, trickier than it looks. It's also one of those ones that all the woman's weekly readers go to. I do not read said magazine, but I'm still there, doing the plank and the cat curl and stuff

well, I say that, I skipped it tonight

Judo lessons
The instructor would make us extend our arms high above our heads and open and close fists until it hurt. It may have had some purpose but unfortunately we just looked like mongs miming to 'Happy Talk'.

Is £15k really that much for being able to demand £5k+ per year for the rest of your life?
I mean, under the current system.

when they are from poorer families
they don't envision ever being able to earn that much. They often don't realise the difference it could make :(
(, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 19:41, Reply)
Well, if you don't hit £20k, then you don't get charged a penny, and after 30 years it's wiped out.
If you're a graduate and you don't hit the 20s, the odds are without the degree you'll be on min wage.... at a guess without known facts. So racking it up into percentages that's quite a differance.

And the poorer families will all be taken care of in schemes according to the reports, so I reckon it's the middle of the road people and those who are going to drink'n'drug the whole thing that are the most fucked.
(, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 19:45, Reply)
As you'll have about as much in the way of skills and work experience as a 16 year old school leaver, you certainly will be on the minimum wage.

Nothing wrong with that, I do too.
It's just that I reckon it should be more of a hobby unless you can turn it into a wage packet.

During the last year and a half,
thanks to my job I've learnt more about physics, chemistry and mechanics than I ever did at school or college. This definitely proves something.

Probably that spending seven years copying out bits of the textbook, then selectively burping them back up in the exam without any real understanding isn't the best way to learn things.

Urgh, debt.

It doesn't affect me.
I'm already in the system, it won't change for me.

I've discussed it with friends, especially as several of us voted for LibDems, and they're obviously now backing increased fees rather than abolishing them.

the good side is that you now have to earn more
before you pay it back, but I think it'll still put off some students

It depends whether you believe in a social-educational hierarchy
Though of course being privately educated, I'm already contributed to that.

Big gutted.
However, perhaps it'll mean a far fewer 18-year olds will booze and pill-much their life away in the first three terms.

I guess they gotta be commited to completing the course and doing it well now, or something like that.

Tony Blair was wrong when he said he wants 50% of people to go uni, he was a cunt to put that ethos into place.
