For University rankings try Google. For job prospects ask the various course Admissions Officers as to where students have ended up.

Forgot to say....I would almost certainly imagine though, its the GCSE Maths/English issue.

It might be an idea to find what the London Met/Middlesex/Greenwich reasoning was.

Bernard Manning (not that I'm equating him with you, or vice-versa) used to like to compose his 'stage act' while walking around the house in nothing but his boxers. Maybe food for thought for those struggling a little with their work.

Read back through the forum. Such questions are regularly asked. That said based on my recollection of the answers, I wouldn't overly get your hopes up.

Arguably, the curt replies are probably 'just me' , and I've never liked the state of tea/coffee so I'd be stuck with Diet Coke or RedBull and the like. I'm not sure about Cognitive enhancers, but I am aware of someone who uses ephedrine to help his concentration (not me btw).

I've been using caffeine (tablets) quite successfully, to get me through tired patches, but I'm getting a tad concerned re 'dependency'. Yep, I know its hardly heroin but I'm still a bit worried, as when I don't take them I feel decidely flat and befuddled (obviously my normal state!). Anyone any views re this sort of thing?

First thing....what did the various Uni's say as to why they rejected you?

"...but Chelsea were truly robbed last night. They completely out played Man U".

I must have been watching the 'other' Champions League final then.

8 YEARS!!! Yep a LOT of poor Judgments. Not what you want to here, but to be honest, I think the UNIVERSITY might (i.e. do) have right on their side here.

Have you tried to get yourself out of this habit of procrastination? Procrastinators anonymous, self-help books, Paul MacKenna motivational CD's or suchlike?

Have you tried the Co-op?

Yep, the 'booze' thing is arguably more serious. To put it bluntly you're a bit of a dic*head Ziggyvic.

Well bottom line they are know doubt breaking Uni reg's. You could go down that street (or mention to them you might) if you feel brave enough.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Cheers Walminskipeasucker, I can know doubt dig up a copy. I'm a bit of a pirate myself. Just weighing up my options re what to do.
