vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Aye, some of the rank arrogance is just painfully cringeworthy to read. Agreed: SweeperDee really should stop digging against his intellectually superior peers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Vt left the thread for a few days and the thread got back on track rather nicely. He is back and it all goes to shite. Good one dick splash.

Ad Lib Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Given I sat a crash Higher in the subject and secured a piss-easy A: swing and indeed a miss. What was the subject you got a C in and threw a fit about, then? Was it History? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a C in the final exam, which was successfully appealed up to a B. Which has evidently had a devastating impact on my attainment in the field. Thanks for playing anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenLoyal Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm thinking of leaving employment next year and doing a Mechanical Engineering degree at Aberdeen or Herriot Watt. I will be 24 by that time and have 6 years industry experience (including oil and gas) however, I think starting in first year will be a good idea for me as a kind of refresher from what I done in my HNC in Mech eng when I was 18. Does anyone have any advice? I currently earn between 35-40k a year but work shifts and know I can earn much more with a degree in Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Intellectually superior peers eh? Arrogance indeed. It depends on how you define 'arrogance': feel free to run your fingers over the words here, as this is where a good grasp of the English language comes in handy. If you define arrogance as an assumption of superiority without merit, then that's clearly your problem, not mine. If you define arrogance as an expression of superiority, then I'm more than comfortable to accept such praise. Only in Scotland is the expression of clearly defined superiority stigmatised, and I'm not in the business of caring about it. Gutted for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Brusch Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Saas have said that they will pay £1820 to my Uni for tuition fees. Surely this is bullshit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Saas have said that they will pay £1820 to my Uni for tuition fees. Surely this is bullshit? Why? This is the case for everyone studying in Scotland, as far as I am aware. I got my SAAS letter through on Wednesday. Instead of having my loan cut as I am going into my honours year, I'm actually getting an extra £1000 compared to last year. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
