milnerpoint Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Only Fools and Horses is so great . Have you ever seen it Purefun? For those of you that have, what is your favourite episode? I don't have one as they're all great. The one where he goes to lean on the bar is my fav, that one scene still makes me LOL majorly! I have every episode on DVD at home, nothing better than putting on an old season when playing FM I personally prefer Faulty Towers overall tho, every episode of that is brilliant.

Nottingham Forest Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The bar one is good, but I love them all. I started collecting them(DVDs) about 5 years ago and got all of the series that were made but none of the specials. I've seen alot of them but I want to finally complete and collect the whole lot. I've worked out that the remaining ones that I'll need will cost about £55. It's one of the things that is on my Christmas list and should I not get them all I'll just buy the ones I need after Christmas.

One guy from cricket did psychology iirc and when I last spoke to him he wish he didn't do it as it was a waste of time. Unless you consider taking it on and doing more stuff for it.

So basically you have 3 friends that go/went uni, 2 of the 3 friends were lazy or wasn't smart enough and wasted a great oppertunity. Not smart enough? Ty, that's rubbish and you know it. The way the economy is at the moment, it doesn't make financial sense giving people grants for uni as the majority waste the money given to them. Uni isn't a great opportunity at all. Your course that you're doing now isn't going to guarantee you a job when you finish uni, unless you've managed to get a company to agree to this. I don't think many companies will look to give students a chance at the moment due to the economic climate. Tbh, I just hate students and think you shouldn't get grants for something that you want to do. You don't have a part-time job and I don't think that you will get a job where you're earning enough to pay back your loan straight away due to the job market. Yes it could improve in three years but imo it won't and when you finish uni, you'll probably just add to the unemployed number of people out of work due to the difficulty of finding work.

Nottingham Forest Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ty, that's a load of rubbish. Just because you're doing a degree, it doesn't guarantee you a job. In an ideal world when you finish uni, you would walk straight in to a job. However, life isn't that simple. You'll be up against a hell of lot more people who will have the same idea as you. You're in the same group as those people and well you're being blinkered at the moment. Take those blinkers off and see the real world. There's nothing wrong with working for a supermarket. I don't resent anything and everything. I resent students that think that what they are doing is automatically going to get them a job when in actual fact it won't. I may work stacking shelves now. But in three years time, I plan on being a department manager, which could probably net me similar, if not more money than you will get starting off(How much is a basic salary for when you leave uni?) It may take me another year to get on the management ladder, but once you're on it, if you impress enough you can jump a fair few steps on that ladder in a short space of time. I know where I want to be in a number of years and in all honesty, the only thing that is stopping me at the moment is myself. By the time I'm 30 I could be an assistant deputy manager or even a assistant store manager earning a great salary and working for a great company. Whereas you could still be tea maker and in a dead end job doing nothing. People choose different careers for different reasons. But to say that you will directly walk into a job is daft and actually fairly stupid. To say that you will jump ahead of me in three years from your degree is also a crap statement to come out with. So yeah take the blinkers off and start seeing the world for what it really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your degree doesn't guarantee you anything, i have a friend who finished top oh his class at Aberdeen uni in bio-medicine, 6 year degree, then spent two years trying to find a job before giving up and going back to uni to study computing and now working making less money than i am, i left uni after two weeks and now im second in charge of a sales team for a major oil and gas based company. When you leave uni there is no promise you will end up in a job that makes you happy and could change your choice of career completely, whereas NF will be happy knowing he has started at the bottom and worked his way up. Nothing is as simple as your making out. You may end up with a life time of achievements, but they wont pay your bills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I resent students that think that what they are doing is automatically going to get them a job when in actual fact it won't. It may not guarantee it, but it gives them a far higher chance of getting a job ahead of someone without a degree. But to say that you will directly walk into a job is daft and actually fairly stupid. To say that you will jump ahead of me in three years from your degree is also a crap statement to come out with. It completely depends on what course you're doing (do you even know what Ty is doing?). People doing specialised courses like sport science (PE teacher, physio's), accounting (accountant) and ocean sciences (surveying, studying the oceans) will easily walk into a job, as the areas of work they go into are so niche and specialised that you couldn't do it without a degree. Things like languages may not lead straight to a job, but bilingual, or trilingual people will earn over twice as much money as someone with only one language.

SRL88 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Calm down ladies . One thing I do agree with NF on is that it is very difficult to get a job after leaving Uni....especially in the field that you have studied in. I've been a student and in essence, I kind of am now, but a lot of students **** me off for a number of reasons. 1. They constantly whinge about being skint but yet don't have a job (not digging at you obviously Ty), and then instead of making a coffee at home which will cost you about 12p a cup, they go into Starbucks where it costs £3 a cup :confused:. These are meant to be smart people baring in mind as well . 2. I'm from Durham, its my hometown, and I go out in Durham for nights out and have been in a punch up before where without bragging, kicked the crap out of a student and deservidly so. I was at the bar, in MY hometown and ordered a pint, and one of them had the nerve to be stood next to me and call me common....for ordering a drink which I want, where I'm from. Like seriously, who the hell do some of them think they are??? They have such a narrow minded concept on most things in life and believe that they opitomise 'cool'. Like I said Ty, I'm not digging at you because I don't know you, but I hate the students up here who come from down south and act as if they own the place. That's nots to say I'm on NF's side completely because I think going to Uni opens up a number of life opportunities for you. You have mentioned a lot of them yourself so I won't go over them again. Just wanted my say . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ty's doing an advertising degree iirc. Suggy, having a degree, does and doesn't give you a higher chance of someone without a degree. If Ty applies for a job with an advertising company when he finishes uni, he'll be up against lots of people who have also got degrees and some that don't have degrees but may have some experience in that career/profession. Yes, you'll get people who don't have degrees or experience and they'll more than likely just not given an interview or something. If I was the employer, I'd be more likely to employ someone who has first hand experience than someone who has just come out of uni. I've already said that my mate at Portsmouth Uni is doing Sports Science and either wants to be a teacher or a physio. Yes if he completes that, he'll probably have a better chance of getting a job, but he's still not guaranteed one. Ty's trying to say he's guaranteed a job when he's not. The job market isn't the best at the moment and isn't the most stable. He'll be competing against people of the same idea for the same jobs. It'll be pot luck as to whether he gets the chance or not. If he does good luck to him. But he's definitely not guaranteed a job. I like how you only took two parts of my post to try and make me look like I'm wrong.

Suggy33 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It really depends on what he does during his 3rd year and what links the uni has.

I know my course here has exactly that, which is why most people who have done my course have gone straight into a job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I didn't at one point say "I will walk into a job". I didn't even remotely say it, I said I will come out with a degree, which is very prestigous to employers. It is my own personal attitude and characteristics that will be the difference between having a job and being a layabout. You say about how you will become a manager, but you think it will just happen. Working in a supermarket for X amount of years doesn't = manager job. Kissing ass doesn't get you a managers job, the same as kissing ass on this forum wont make you become a moderator no matter how much you try. If that's the case then don't you think everyone that has been working in a supermarket for 3 years would be a manager? For christ sake, you needed advice from a forum to talk to women, and you think you can be a manager and talk to people? I literally can't be arsed to argue with a guy that wanted to work in a bank, be a teacher and now wants to run a supermarket in the same year about my life decisions. You clearly need to worry about your own life before you lecture me on mine. I wanted to go Uni and have a passion for what I am studying, that is all I care about at the moment.

I go to the best part of all my lectures, mainly I'll skip the second of a double lecture, as I'll know what to expect and I'l die of boredom. Haha this "Take a five minute break, and I'll see you back here for the second part." No you won't, I'm ****ing bored. You hate students because you don't have the personality to be a student.

You may even hop up the ladder a couple times going from trolley boy to possibly broom cleaning guy, but in the end it would be me laughing at you with my degree leaping steps ahead of you in 3 years, what you would have to do in 25 years. This paragraph says it all, NF just bitter that he'll have had 3 year miserable years doing nothing in a supermarket and we've all had a great three years with much improved job prospects after it. Blah blah etc. No one is saying they're guaranteed a job ffs, it's all about improving your chances, bettering you CV.

I personally think that Ty and Joe have been a bit harsh on NF, but he hasn't exactly helped himself with some of the remarks that he has made. Actually scratch that. You are all (Ty, Joe, and NF), behaving like children having digs at each other instead of having what could have been a perfectly reasonable discussion.The fact is you all have good and negative points to what you have said, but are so sure that your way of doing things is right that you can't see the sense in what the other person has said. Cut it out, because in all honesty it's all rather tawdry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
