I am hoping for Sussex University so I can stay in Brighton. Also if I decided to persue psychology then Sussex would be good as its registered with the BPS. What do you study Gerard?

I thought starting this thread as many people are going to be starting university/college soon or are thinking about applying soon. This thread can be used for advice about where to go, what to study or just general chatter about university/college. I sadly quit this year as the course was just not for me and the commute became unbearable. I am hopefully going to college this year to do an Access to Higher Education course in Physchology so then I can go to better universities instead of going whereever wants low UCAS Tariffs. So wooooo!

I have been slothing around for two months as university has finished. Has anyone else been having trouble getting work this year? I know I have. How has everyone been?

Go Germany! England playing against Germany was embarassing. The England team are a bunch of losers who barely tried in the World Cup. Its as if they expected to do well so they never bothered trying.

I think the idea is that when women wear some of these religious clothes then it covers up their face and makes identification very difficult. When you go to many shops you must take your moterbike helmet off so CCTV can identify you and get clear images of peoples faces. Why not the same for Muslim women?

Well some of it. This year I studied Early Modern History, Middle Ages, Modern World, Theories of History, Hollywood vs Paris how ilms shape National identities, British Modern, Gender in History and Reniassance to Reformation. Some of it was utter crap that had no revelence to history but other sections were very interesting. History is a toughy degree as you have to pretty much reference every single fact in your essays. But some parts are excellent.

We have a topic about gay marraige, I thought we should open up the discussion of gay people adopting babies or just being parents in general i.e. surrogacy or insemination. What does everyone think?

What is interesting about the BNP using Winston Churchill is that he was half American, not what the BNP likes. They still believe in the bollocks that people in this country should be Native Britians from the Ice Age. However some of their policies are not bad, they want to abolish Battery farming and get rid of tower blocks which I do agree with. But there is no denying they are incredibly racist.

I'm lucky, I finished about two weeks and all my exams and essay's are done. But then again I am doing a degree in History and we finished very early. What degree are you planning on doing Scott?

Yesterday Gordon Brown resigned as Prime Minister and as head of the Labour Party. This puts us back into the same situation we were in, in 2007 when Tony Blair left. Who do you think should take over?

The Lib Dems could have done well if loads of people hadn't copped out and decide last minute to vote for them. They will never get anywhere again if people don't have faith and vote for them. I think that the Lib Dems should join with the Tories as they would at least balance each other out.

Voting is never useless but Politics is so stupidly corrupt that its hard to vote for someone you truly believe in. People should always vote, as far as I'm concerned if you choose not to vote then you have no right to complain. Also its an insult to all the soldiers that have died over the last hundred years for the name of democracy and having a choice. Espically women as the Suffragetes risked everything just so women could have that priveledge that so many countries and people don't have. I object to £7000 university fees, espically when Scotland gets them for free and Wales only pays half that if they attend a Welsh university.

I will most likely vote Lib Dems because looking at the Polls they have a decent chance of getting in also some of their policies I do agree with. Cameron reminds me of Obama, all style no substance and I'm sick to death of Labour. But deciding who to vote for is like deciding if I want to be hanged, put in the electric chair or lethal injection, all different methods but the same outcome.

Silly womanz. Its safe as long as the people aren't riddled with God knows what.

I am so proud of my award! Congrats everyone else!

Is anyone doing any romantic stuff tomorrow?

See I don't know, what if your parents were abusive? I wouldn't take care of my Dad, he has done fuck all for me.

Its like Paul McCartney is involved, he is a billionaire. Im sure a couple of million would be small change for him. But hey he is giving up his time which is so much better apprantly ¬_¬ In a magazine Kelly Osbourne was harping on about how she is sending her clothes to Haiti and wants the public to do the same. They act like they are so a great thing when they are just bloody lazy. But all these people are getting praise for being good people for helping. George Clooney has donated a few million.

This was discussed today on the Wright Stuff on Channel 5 about the goverment suggestion that all children should look after their parents in their home when they get too old. It was mandatory in Singapore. What are everyones thoughts on this?

Simon Cowell is getting a group of singers to cover the REM song Everybody Hurts. It may seem like a just cause but I must say it annoys me that these people are getting publicity and news cover as they are giving up their time to make this song. Why couldn't they all donate money, after all they are worth millions. Maybe they have, who knows. What are your thoughts?

So basically a giant TGTAP orgy so no one loses out?

Then ban him for not thinking of you. There are always options. But ya Dom your pretty buggered.

We need someone to storm in saying they love the BNP. That would cause a good deabte.

I know many people voting for both of those parties. Lord knows why as I think they are both awful. People really annoy me when they say they don't vote as there is no point Espically when people lost their lives for democracy and for people to have a say.

I have no problem with body scanners, if someone wants to laugh at my body then let them, I would rather be safe. Concerned parents are screaming out that their children may be looked at by peadophiles. Its not as if they can leap out and grab the children.
