that's the penalty you have to pay if you can't pass your a-levels but still want to goto uni :lol:

 

(i have zero sympathy for students and their loans these days, too easy to get a degree and people will do them in anything regardless of what they may want to choose as a career)

 

Well that's a bit of a generalisation. I did well in my A-levels but wanted to go to England to avoid the goldfish bowl that is Belfast.

 

I also wouldn't have gotten my first job without my degree. So while some of what you say is true you can't tar everyone/everything with the same brush.

lol you fcking survived it though and work in your chosen field :lol:, did you go into the generic programme one they run now though that is have "a" degree in anything and we'll see how it goes ?

 

there is a difference between someone getting their grades, doing what they like in the area they choose etc and coming out and applying for jobs in that area.

and someone going "well i want to do Law but I only got an E so i went to Uni.X in England  to do a course in botany because that's all that was left  (i know this is probably hard to get into before i piss some scientist off as well)  and now i've got it i'm applying for jobs feck all to do with it, like in I.T for instance, where you ask someone about development experience and they talk about ms office.

 

if it makes you feel any better i didn't even bother with doing a-levels so insult away :D

 

 

Well yeah, I did law at uni and ended up doing business information systems in PwC, which is exactly what you're talking about ;)

I spent three years in America posting almost exclusively on here from a PwC client. It's simply a question of priorities.

 

Absolutely. That was a weak attempt at explaining why Im reading this thread today when I usually dont. Did you not see the tongue face  :huff:

Looks like they've established Ben Needham died in an accident with a digger behind his house. They've found an 'item' he had at the time he went missing buried next to something dating back to 1991

 

:( So what were the parents doing?

I do think it's weird that a 20 month old toddler was being allowed to play out of their sight. Factor in that the area was clearly potentially dangerous with the machinery etc. and it seems totally irresponsible.

Lead in paint, 8 children in a Ford escort without seat belts, 20 month old kids playing on building sites.... that's the 1980s.

 

Not making light of it btw, terrible situation for all concerned, a family destroyed. Horrible it's taken decades for the truth to come out as well, meant there was no closure (not that there really ever can be).

What's meant to have happened exactly? Has he wandered onto a building site and falling into a hole, or has the digger run him over and the driver not noticed? Have they found remains yet or is this still just based on retrieval of an "item" that he was known to be playing with?

No body found. You'd imagine that if it was buried there that it'd be one of the easier things to find.
