Not only do I work 40 hours a week at the moment, it is usually 30 hours, but my days off are spent cleaning the flat that I share with other students (only one of whom works) because they are too lazy to do it themselves. Their coursework gets left until the last minute and I am the one they turn to when their essays are due in - I proof read, help with referencing and even tell them which books are helpful for the topic they're studying.

When I'm working a 6.30am shift I have to wear earplugs because they are too selfish to not bang the front door shut and to not shout out drunken chants, even if it's during the week, and even then it doesn't block out all of the noise.

Yes, I hate students because I've never met such a selfish and inconsiderate bunch.

Those fuckers trying to get me to vote are the fuckers who keep me up late at night with their drunken chanting and 4am booty calls to lassys in the building.

I hate to disappoint or offend you but there's a reason people hate students. There's a minority who do work, but those are usually mature students. The younger students who do work are usually unreliable and always want weekends off so they can go off on trips with their sports club/society. I've only met one other student who puts her uni work and actual work first.

I appreciate and respect you but I must say that is complete wank. In my opinion it is the minority - of my friends and acquaintances at least - that don't work and sit around all day. I have to get work of every so often to play gigs I'll admit, but the rest of my Monday to Sunday is so packed up that I feel I can justify having some fun. Indeed, I turn down playing football a couple of times a week because I am working or have coursework or lectures to to brush up on, in fact today I let my team mates down mby not playing in our important last match of the season because I am at university to get a good degree and at least attempt to improve my employability. In fact, I have been in the library from ~9am - 10pm all of this week (whilst working split shifts throughout the day) to get coursework done that I havn't quite had the time to do and wont have time to do this weekend due to other committments. This is why "student bashing" offends me: because I feel like I work my fucking balls off and rarely have time to sit down and take a break.

I suggest you look for new accommodation or complain about your flatmates, they sound totally shit.

Disclaimer: I do sometimes watch the tele or play the x box...

My excuse for being shit with my coursework is a) I've been working around 40 hours these last few weeks and b) I need a shitload of sleep because of my epilepsy medication so late-nighters are a no no otherwise it takes me days to recover.

But yes, the whole not having anything done because they're wasted every day is annoying.

3rd year is going to suck.

I feel stupid now, sorry.

Are you kidding? A job? Most students look at me in disgust when they find out I have a job, then i get shit from them like "don't you GO out?" "aren't you in any sport clubs?"

No, because I have enough self respect to actually like myself and not need to get shitfaced with a bunch of strangers under the pretence of "girls football night out" so I can have self-worth.

I despise being a student, I hate the fact that every other bastard at uni seems to think that we're in some ace little club that means we're all friends and that I should want to listen to their bullshit.

Your full of poo.

Pretty much every student I know has a part time job, a couple even have full time jobs. You are fully correct that the ones that are campaigning are, for the most part, tossers, however some of them are talking some sense and some of them are geniunely hard working, lovely people. I wont be voting (in the student election!) as I just don't care, although I know that equal opportunities and AUSA presidents have made a big difference to a lot of peoples academic lives. Furthermore, the only thing worse than students talking about how they hate students are tourists talking about how they hate tourists so just stop that.

Basically, I cannot ascertain what you do that makes you an exception to the student population from my own experience; other than people I know like to have fun playing sports in their spare time...

Proper studenty types, it's election time and I've been harrassed by heaps of plebs with facepaint and kilts on asking if I've chosen who I want to be head of Charities/Sports. Ended up telling them all to fuck off and how I don't give a shit. My spare time is spent on revision and work, not fucking societies or sports clubs or getting wasted and sleeping all day.

I'm going to cry if I find out any of my new neighbours are students.

I don't condone their methods, I am sick to death of them myself, but of the 3 people I know running for various things this year, none of them are what you might describe as "Proper studenty types" (i.e. lazy). Ciara Ryan for instance is often up at 5am in the morning to cycle down to the Dee for rowing practice. She does this 5 times a week as well as various races around Britain. While doing this she holds down a job at Soul working as a waitress, is currently writing her thesis (and in general tries really hard with her uni work). On top of all this she still manages time to do this campaign and see her boyfriend/friends on a regular basis. The girl sleeps 5 hours a night.

Anyway, just sayin.

I tend to lie and say the I've already voted and they leave you alone.

Being friends with Eugene Dadi on facebook. Yas.

OMFG, these are so ace.

MORE!!!!!

Just came across these now. Fucking ace!!!

I think this is pretty good. Sounds like fun.

When you pour an amazing combination of cereal in the morning (this morning it was a bed of Dorset Cereal, a thin layer of All Bran, topped with Crunchy Nut Cornflakes) then realise there is no milk and that you don't have time to go to the shop to get milk. I must have woken up on the wrong side of bed this morning but this was nearly the end for me. I was so fucking angry. The worst part is, because the cereals were mixed in the bowl I couldn't put them back in a box because the box would then contain cereals that do not belong to it and that is not fucking cricket. I also didn't have any other food other than a tub of Philadelphia Cheese and some Co-op's Truly Irresistible pasta sauce. I would have needed the A-Team to fashion a breakfast out of that.

This has been a shit day.

Cargo pants. WTF. Why is it that midle aged men think it's cool to wear camo cargo pants to work in an office. Even just plain cargo pants are.....well pants!

While I'm at it...anything camo when you don't actually need it. It's unlikely it will make you blend in on Union Street is it? My top "camo" hate just now though is camo crocs.......come on!!!!

The use of "pants" instead of "trousers" or "breeks." Pants go under the trousers, k?

Aberdeen Uni student car park

Around 5pm today

Team stalked by myself and Vega. Proper stalk as he doesn't know who I am.

[ x ] Confirmed

We were all very close to each other.

Trust no-one.

Steve Martin as, of course, Father of the Bride. He's never really liked Neil or thought him good enough for his daughter (commenting to his wife "and what about that stupid website he runs?!"). He'd been secretly hopeful that the ash cloud was going to postpone the wedding and he'd be able to talk his daughter round to marrying Cheadle. However, on seeing the effort that Neil has gone to, driven by his love for his daughter, he finally realises that he will make a great husband and son in law

......and the website? Well, they can just agree to disagree.

My people will speak to your people and Neil's people to see what we can make of this. I think we're on to something. We will have to act quickly though in order to keep it topical. How long will this ash be about for?

Want to hear my tale of woe? I need to get to Portland, Maine by Sunday...to get married.

I'm becoming increasing convinced I'm basically fucked (my bride is already over there - she went over a week before).

This gives you an absolute winner of an opportunity to arrive at the last minute, against all odds, on a pegasus or something. Honestly though, it could be like the end of the best rom-com ever. They will be waiting for you and you bride will look beautiful (of course) but apprehensive and a bit sad. All of a sudden, a one engined plane will block out the sun, the music stops, and everyone squints their eyes to see what is coming, the mood is tense. The plane flies low over the trees and towards where the ceremony is being held, but wait, who is that dangling from the plane?

"It's Uncle Neil!" says your nephew Bobby

Your wife to be is in awe. "It can't be. It just can't."

You fly over the guests and leap of the plane,

who by the way is being piloted by Don Cheadle. He was an ex-boyfriend of your wife and was originally trying his hardest to stop the marriage, however during your gruelling journey to stop the wedding (in Don's case) and to make the wedding (in your case) you become friends and Don acquiesces to your logic and uses the knowledge he has gained from his three flying lessons to get you their on time.

You emerge from a nearby lake as the guests run over to greet you:

"Sorry to drop in on you like this"

Your fiancee doesn't know whether to slap you or kiss you. She kisses you.

You get married etc and as you get in to the car to go on your honeymoon you see Don

from a distance. He gives you a knowing nod and walks away. Your stare lingers on his position for a moment until Mrs Neil grabs you into the car. You drive into the sunset as the credits begin to roll.

Anyway, just a thought.

I just noticed this as well and was about to post it in pet hates! This is disgraceful but in no way out of the ordinary for the Vatican. It is so immoral that they are trying to use the downfalls of the catholic church to further berate a minority that they have always opposed and hated. The only link I see between these revelations of paedophilia among priests is between catholocism and paedophilia, not homosexuality. I'm not insinuating that paedophiles are all catholic, its just that in this case the only two things these disgusting bastards are for certain are paedophiles and catholic priests (priests for the most part anyway). How could they possibly have thought these statements would take the blame away from them as an institution.

I like Dom's beard the best. Exciting!

What was the first act called? I would like to marry her right now please. She was amazing.

Deportees were bloody sensational again. That full on, pop-folk git ("Death/Birth of Industry"?) should be number one for the rest of the year and its not even their best song. Mightly impressed again chaps.

Stornaway were ok, I could have given them more of a chance but they didn't really grab my attention terribly much. Hadn't heard much of them in the first place though which is maybe why.

There were too many chatty folk in Snafu last night which was a bit annoying but whatchagonnado?

I do! If only you'd stop arranging gigs that clash with my Sunday night bath/MOTD2 ritual!

I suppose if 'Miles' demanded that I come as part of his birthday wishes then I'd be obliged to attend.....

Well, I have work on my birthday at 0830 so might not be out terribly late. I just want to be friends.

The only thing Deportees lack is sex appeal.

I'll be there on Sunday if Shaki comes to as I have no-one else to go with. I'll be 22 on the 12th so everyone can buy me a pint at midnight.

So really, how was it? I saw the first couple and I don't find it funny any more... Its a shame.

The drummer needs to learn how to hit his snare drum.

Probably Neo vs Morpheus. When I first went to see that film I was only 11 or so and I knew nothing about it. When I saw that I thought it was the coolest fighting ever! Also, the foyer scene from the first movie. Or Neo vs Smith in the subway. Or any fight from the first one...

The worst is Neo vs Smith's final battle. What a load of bollocks.

Carson Wells are playing next door with The Ocean Fracture, Jairus and Maths. That's right, a band called Maths who play math rock. How clever. Anyway, if you get bored, come next door!!

Yas.

He's not Finnish, he's only 29.

Mika Hakkinen is not Japanese. He is Finnish.

Fucking hell.

That wasn't even bad in a good way. What a load of dickheads. Is that the chap from Lost Prophets contributing vocals at one bit? What a complete wanker.

This may interest you.

"as many angles as an investigative journalist" - brilliant. Ta very much to Nef C. The first review and all very positive!! I like your ridiculous use of english.

I thought Ross Sutherland were a rugby team I used to play against when I was 16. They were/are from Dingwall I would imagine.

Why are all women called Lucy really pretty?
