oh dear: Tuiton Fees Protest

The survey of 1,019 UK adults found most thought estimated costs of £33,000 for a three-year degree course would put young people off going to university.

Bollocks!

When I went to Uni it cost me nothing like £33k! More like £12k and I didnt leave Uni with any debt. Thats becuase instead of going "travelling" (which usually just means laying on a beach in Thailand or Aus thinking that this helps you - find yourself) I got my ass into a warehouse and did 11 hours a day, 5 days a week.

So when some arsy NUS student think that the world is so against them because they are not all on grants to do cushy media studies or politics and psychology I get a bit miffed.

Uni is about learning rules. Rule 1 nothing in life is free or easy.

I dossed around, shagging women and getting pissed every night. Went travelling (yes to that beach in Thailand, among other places) and had a whale of a time. Still got a 2-1 though.

Are you sure they were women ? ... I heard those Thai 'women' had some built in extras.

Ok, I should point out that the warehouse work was only during holidays. Still did plenty of shagging though.

I got therough Uni by renting an industrial unit, turned it into a warehouse and employed cheap student labour.

I certainly didn't put my ass into a whorehouse, although I command your stamina for suffering that for 11 hours a day, Mr SP...

I only clocked up £3500 in debts at uni. I was a right dell-boy though, selling off nicked PCs from skips and stuff.
