The end of an era...

[addictedtosax]

Thats it, it's been done. I have finally sold my saxo "Sissy" to my cousin in NI for the sum of £900. She was worth so much more to me than that and I'm sure some of you can sympathise with me about having to sell your first car. Im truly gutted, words cannot describe how upsetting an experience this has been:homo: lol

Aw well, bring on the next three years of living on tesco 8p noodles, wearing clothes that are never ironed and falling asleep in lectures!

In three years though I'm next to guarenteed a position worth £30,000pa. So any suggestions as to my next car, I'm thinking it would be time to join the VT club, but other cars i would like are the polo/golf mk4 + mk5, Fabia vRS, Astra MK5-2 sri or Bora Sport. What do you lot think?

Also I'd like to say that, if I'm being perfectly honest, you probably won't be seeing an awful lot of me in the next three years, so to all you homeboys that helped me out over the past year and a bit -BIG UP!!!!

One more thing "SCOTTISH SAX-P REPRESENTIN YA PURE BAS!!!!":beer:

[addictedtosax]

well if im being honest gaurenteed is probably a bit strong, but the demand for capable medical researchers is tremendously high just now, what with the genetics and stem cell polava and what not. But I have been told by my DoS that if i pass my honours degree with an A that research companies will come running.

I've already done one year mike, its a four year course!

Oh and its Biomedical Sciences with honours in Immunology.

And im actually form Mayfield near Dalkeith Mystic, whos all your buds then?

[CampDavid]

an A, I think you mean a first. Don't bank on getting a first, it is not easy

[Yates]

But I have been told by my DoS that if i pass my honours degree with an A that research companies will come running.

ive heard statements like that so much from all my mates who went to uni, who are now working in factories as they cant get a job doing what they want

[Barry123]

Sweet my lil' sister is doing Biomedical science.

I hear bitter people say this all the time that didnt go to uni :homo:

[Barry123]

a lot of my friends from NA have passed their degrees and now they are working in tesco stacking selves and similar.... well done to them.

[Mystic]

My mums parents used to live in Mayfeild on Camp road.

My mates called Greg, drives a red Mazda 323, cant remember many of the other guys names, a guy called OB who drives a black Almera or black corsa, think thers 2 Supras - ones white, a yellow MR2.

What Uni u at?

[CampDavid]

I hear bitter people say this all the time that didnt go to uni :homo:

Well, now you can hear it from one that did. Me and a lot of my mates went to uni, all got good grades, all got reasonable jobs. We didn't get the sort of mega pay we were foolishly expecting though

sounds like alot of my mates they all did the uni thing and everytime i seen them all they'd go on about is the amount of money they'd have once they'd finished uni and they'd laugh at me and my shitty warehouse job,now they've finished most are either stacking shelves selling phones in phones 4 U or packing boxes in warehouses like the one i work in and they areall majorly in debt aswell

[Mystic]

What do you class as a shitty degree?

[Barry123]

put it like this... a person i was living with in my 2nd year did a large report on the 'Effects of a Smiling Dolphin' as a logo on a company letter.

not naming courses as i'll inevitably offend someone.

[CampDavid]

What do you class as a shitty degree?

Lol, media is a favourite there.

I never went on about how much I'd make after uni, though a lot of people on my course did,

[Yates]

I hear bitter people say this all the time that didnt go to uni :homo:

Bitter? Why would i be bitter? I done very well in my A Levels, but never fancied uni and the stupid amounts of debt.

Im 22, no debt, plenty of money, loving life everythings great, Im not bitter!

[Barry123]

I'm 21
£17k of student loan debt
fock all money in bank account

but when you see some of the nicest baps on the planet drift past you when walking to a lecture make it all worth it.

[saxodan]
