Thank you Mia, and golfpro. I have nothing personal against whattodonext, and i'm sure what was said he didn't intend to mean as an insult

DanB- I know you are new to Nottingham, so I'll warn you now, stay away from st anns, radford, hyson green and if possible the meadows. The trouble in nottingham is indeed contained in these areas (in fact the only really nice area in nottingham is west bridgford). The north part of the city is very rough, and the shootings and drug busts are always in these areas. I'm assuming that you live in Beeston or lenton since you are at Nottingham Uni?

Saying that, each time I have been there it seems to get better. The council ae obviously tidying the place up, and the city centre looks ok.

I used to live in Nottingham (which was 1st or 2nd in the worst place thing i mentioned before), and Nottingham wasn't that bad, it was a really good night out, just a little rough. So Hull can't be that bad

I have been to Hull, and I can't say its the nicest place in the world, and it was voted either 1st or 2nd (can't remember now) worst place in britain to live.

no, i'm gonna just shag your mum again

I did my MSc because I had no plans to do a PhD, but wanted a specialised job in that particular field.

Some people are just so narrow minded

because perhaps someone that does an MSc may not have the required know how to do a PhD, or that someone that does an MSc did so to get a specialised job, but then stayed on to do a PhD.

Don't be so naive and stupid

I did a BSc, then an MSc then straight to PhD. I have worked in industry, but only for three month stints between courses/semesters

Mr Chipz, are you named after a character in a James Patterson novel?

i'm not old enough to be considered a 'mature' student, so i don't think i'm suitable for your little study

of course, i hate them big time

my mistake then

sorry him or her (sorry for the assumption kc)

No, DJwicked, thats really nice!! the people at uni bought him chocolates!! whats so wrong with that?

Oh, you mean getting burgled? yeah i agree, bastards

I'm perfectly ok Mia, thanks for the concern.

I just think that Jen is pretty rash with her opinions and has been quite judgemental. Not to mention, very defensive at the same time.
