General Chat / Bloody Students!

Funny to say that.
Everyone fucking voted Labour for one reason and one reason only when they blatently BRIBED the entire country's student populace with a student loan ease up.

Also, I did a BA.
I get paid well.
It is my first job out of uni.
I do not begrudge paying a loan.
What I do begrudge is watching every drunk fuckwit running around partying hard on taxpayer money because their parents bullshitted on some form to enable them to receive the allowance. I worked hard, and I barely got by. I have no idea how one affords to get pissed as fuck every weekend, but I do know that it is fully taken for granted. Those whinging need to simply harden the fuck up.

I'm not against loans and allowances, I actually believe that what is currently paid is not enough. I do however believe that allowance is far too easy to get, and that the loan living costs is far too little. It may have changed in recent years, but that is how I felt when I left uni.
I still have over 30k left on my loan, but paying it back faster is CERTAINLY not something I begrudge. I'd rather welcome it. It may mean less disposable income each payday, but I seriously doubt I'd even notice the difference of a measely 2¢.

Totally agree. I have paid off my student loan via min repayments. It did suck seeing my pay dwindled down a bit but to be honest you don't notice that much and if you finish paying your loan off you are then in good steed to continue saving that same amount each pay if you choose to do so. Most students don't seem to be looking too far into the future however so I doubt this would happen.

I was bribed by Labour and voted for them when it suited me. Tbh I am unhappy with National and Labour's policies at present and don't know which is the lesser of two evils. The economist National or the handout Labour. I fall in the middle of who each are targeting. National the rich and Labour the poor. Middle income earners seem to be the ones getting f*cked by both parties and I would say middle income earners are the majority?

General Chat / Decriminalisation of marijuana
« on: April 13, 2012, 11:19:25 pm »
I've read a bit of literature on it. I still feel like I need to read more on it.

In regards to a lot of those using the fact alcohol is legal and its worse. Imo you're argument is flawed. I don't disagree that alcohol is terrible but using it as a reason to legalise/decriminalise something is a bit dumb...

Technology & Hardware / An iOS fans journey into the world of Android

What you've said here is exactly the thing about Android that both frustrates me and excites me. I dislike that I have to work like a developer to my hardware working to the point I want it at, but yet it also excites me that I can do that work, and be rewarded hugely for not only the current handset, but likely many in the future. It is also a thought I have about Tablets, and my iPad vs. Android Tab argument with myself continues to rage lol.

 
Yup it is really frustrating but I don't know how i'd react if I had that power taken away from me...

@ berg

I've never really used iOS apart from playing around on my mates phone so haven't had the full experience. I should really borrow an iphone 4 for a week/month or so just so I can give it a go. So I don't really know about the Bite SMS

One thing though from limited use of the iOS standard keyboard is that I hate the letter pop-up. I've disabled it and sure I could probably get used to it again. It's just distracting.

I went through a stage where I was flashing a new rom every couple of days. Once I found villainrom there just didn't seem a point anymore. The Miui looks interesting. Quite a clean look but I'm more minimalist and use a lot of the text type widgets.

Also what launcher do you use?

Just had a read through this. Find me on appbrain.com 9unk is my username..... Uhm for sms I use handcent. My favourite keyboard is the gingerbread. It has tab and double space = full stop. I'm a little concerned at your comments that it is slow compared to iphone 4... I've got an HTC hero which is an oldish android phone but it was all I could afford. I've rooted it and installed a custom rom and its working alright.If you're looking for a good custom rom super stable etc. Look at http://www.villainrom.co.uk as out of all the roms I tried for my hero it was firstly the most stable/fastest/least buggy roms. I've spent many hours fiddling with my android and you do need far too much time to get it to exactly how you want it... However... after you have had one android phone and then move to your next one you'll be able to do everything much quicker. Nice to see the review/thoughts and cheers for putting it on front page Arsey.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles / ***NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE***
« on: March 03, 2011, 07:46:01 pm »
I've had no problem with state... Car was broken into while we were away on holiday.

They stole pretty much nothing worth mentioning and due to the excess I decided to just get the window fixed and as I have glass it was free. They gave me a number I called the glass company and dropped the car in. They fixed the window and that was the end of it...

General Chat / Obama gets the Nobel peace prize
« on: October 12, 2009, 09:47:27 am »
The world now expects an awful lot more from him. The Nobel award is a recognition of that too. It is just not true that in the past the prize was awarded only where work for peace had reaped concrete proofs. Many times it has been given as an encouragement to see the effort through.

Its almost like he's been given it to keep him honest and to push him further towards greatness. +1 Slim have changed my view on it.
