I’m disappointed to see a politican like Vince Cable – whom I consider to be one of only a few politicans that is honest and fair but most importantly, he talks a lot of sense – being made out as the big ogre or the baddie in a low budget pantomime.

Sorry if I sound rather confrontational here, but weren’t Uni fees paid by the government prior to 2003 (IIRC)? Therefore if you went to university before then you effectively got a free university education.

You’ll have several years head start of me i’m guessing :rolleyes:

Me having too much time on my hands to realise that this is my 300th post on here :rolleyes:

Now I think i’ll do something useful :diablo:

I wish “my” ( :diablo: ) Vulcan had a busy flight deck, it would mean we’d completed about 2-3years of work 😀

what made me smile today? discovering spock listens to kerrang and not just some indie crap (see his haircut or lack of it for details :P)

well done passing the theory mate

More to me that meets the eye mate pahaha :rolleyes:

Cheers mate 😀

back when I started college 10yrs ago I got EMA and I just saved it and put it towards my PPL. I believe the rest of my class used theirs on alcohol. I cant recall how many times I heard people say ‘I need my EMA as im off clubbing this weekend’ 😡

I think I can safely say that many of the clubs in Sunderland (and to a lesser extent Newcastle) will be secretly be hoping that the government does a U-turn. An awful lot of their custom on a weekend is students, many of whom pay for their nights out with taxpayers money courtesy of EMA.

Very few people use it for its actual proper purpose 😡

Passing my DSA Theory Test 😀

Getting a round of applause for it on Kerrang – i’m sad i know :rolleyes:

Cutting EMA will kill two birds with one stone. It’ll save us £560million (IIRC) straight away and secondly, I would bet a substantial amount of money that it will reduce the binge drinking problem among 16, 17 & 18 year olds; combined with less under age drunk and disorderly offences.
