Iun Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 So some vocal minority on campus has somehow made it be put to vote to ban BAE from recruiting students on campus. wtf. It's in a bill to ban some music channels from the union bars and to ban lads mags. Why the union even has the power to ban companies on campus I don't know. You should push forward a bill that bans the University from recruiting Chinese students from government-connected families: The wife of a mayor in China premeditated and arrived out the poisoning of an English business associate while her son was studying in Oxford. Also: Xinjiang, Tibet and pollution. In fact you could also ban American students who are pro-Iraq war.... ...blah blah blah. There's a reason to ban everyone and anything, but the fact is it's not pragmatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Work told me today I'll lose "26 hours a week", which isn't great. They rang me just before I went Christmas shopping, which is a good thing I suppose. It wouldn't be as bad if they gave me some warning, but it was literally "don't come in tomorrow". I'll have to cut back on the Taiko Drums, Sonic tshirts and... WII U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Sorry to hear that Josh I have a Sonic shirt that I've never worn (still in the wrapper) if you want that I can't even remember where it came from, found it at my mother's a while ago.

MoogleViper Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Made the two and a half hour trip to Oxford, and when I arrived got a phonecall from the estate agent saying that they had to cancel the viewing. And the other viewing I had was at 7pm, so I had to wander aimlessly around Oxford for 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEVILMURRAY Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Was told my brother was caught shoplifting in Sainsbury's whilst my Mum was working there. Really should be in the funny thread how fucking stupid he is. On a bad side, got a letter from DVLA saying my application for driver's licence has been refused/revoked. Gonna have to wait until next year now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoogleViper Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's because he has epilepsy (I think that's the reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Moogz is right. My epi'ness has screwed me over again. Why? Because your brother was shoplifting in Sainsbury's? That yes. Plus the fact that he knows our mum works there anf she was working a shift at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My third car died. Luckily just spent £350 on an MOT, £476 on insurance (transferrable I guess....if/when I get another car) and £140 on tax (I can get some back too or something?) Anyway. I'm about £600 overdrawn (with £400 rent yet to come) so....thats quite good. Hmmmm. Probably cancel that Wii U pre-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew the head gasket, which seems to be a common theme with me and cars. It's not quite dead, it's still capable of doing short 5 minute journeys to and from the supermarket, but starts overheating if I drive for longer than ten minutes. Sad times.

Raining_again Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My lungs died, anyone got a spare?

Urgh... Really can't be doing with this...someone fix me pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoogleViper Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wanted to play footy today but apparently there's not enough players. And it's my only form of exercise and social interaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Sticking with the car theme, my car is ready for it's timing belt change = £300 odd *cries* and today I started my Christmas shopping... Which is bad because I'm low on cash and my next student loan doesn't go in until January. Also I have literally sh*t-loads of bird poo droppings to go through for my final year project, a lot more than expected. Mind numbingly boring, but strangely relaxing. My car died last week as well. Blew the head gasket, which seems to be a common theme with me and cars. It's not quite dead, it's still capable of doing short 5 minute journeys to and from the supermarket, but starts overheating if I drive for longer than ten minutes. Sad times. It's not by any chance a Rover is it? My head gasket blew twice in one of them. I can't say I'd recommend driving it about though, you may get catastrophic engine failure otherwise. Have you tried K-Seal? You pop it in your coolant and it should help. It's not a fix by any means but it buys you some time. Wanted to play footy today but apparently there's not enough players.

Jimbob Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 So, went to my mates dads funeral yesterday. I did manage to cheer him up a little, but other than that it were one of them days that really does take it out of you. He was a complete mess, not eating anything and looked like he hadn't slept for a week. Service was good though. Been talking to him most of this morning, he seems ok at the moment. Think i may need to pop up and see him again over the weekend. But today, i'm still feeling the effects of yesterday still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Parents decided to head off to a cat show for the weekend and didn't bother telling me they were doing so. Only found out this morning when I went down for breakfast and saw my mother getting stuff ready Told her if she's buggering off for the weekend without telling me then she can pay for my hotel on wednesday, to which she agreed. Suppose that is an upside but still really annoyed that there was no notice for me having to take care of the house/how ever many cats she has. But to make it worse, just had my grandmother round shouting and having a go at me over it as it's my mother's birthday and she'd bought flowers for her and wasn't told about the 'going away this weekend'. So not in a particularly good mood with the parents, or the grandmother even if she was quite right to be angry at my mother (but not right to chastise me for it).
