Damn right, as I already live here! All I would have to do is bus it into the town centre everyday as well!
Also Sheffield has two Uni's - Sheffield Uni and Hallam Uni. Cambridge just has loads of Colleges...it confused me when I went for a visit once...school trying to keep a load of us in higher education.
I guess I will deciede where I wanna go in about a year when I am a second year A level student!
Cheers

Damn right, shame you can't get a qualification in these, I would be a master at beer drinking!

If you want to go to Cambridge you need to take action now, it's a different process to the usual UCAS process.
Also you will only get in if you have something like 9 GCSEs at grade A and are predicted grade A at A level._________________ Jimbo

Hehe.. 17th & 18th Birthdays are always pretty good to go to, especially when there is free alcohol around...

Not the whoring, never had to pay for it  , but the rest is pretty accurate, I did an Advanced GNVQ in IT and took as many of the IT C&G courses as they could teach, because I have been programming from the age of 8 I did each years work in the first 6 months so used to just go down the Wetherspoons... which was nice cheap pints with a burger - all good things!
After a few would turn up to class, for my usual lesson (work completed) my teacher would ask me if I had been drinking (which I would confirm) then would sit quietly in the corner surfing the net/playing games/updating the website.

The told us at college that if we went drinking at dinner, we shouldn't come back for our afternoon lesson, to which I replied, "Fair enough, I will just keep drinking!" The class laughed but the tutor didn't look amused....
Also, our college network is rather secure and strick, if you go on an offensive website by accident or hack the network, or even play games, they block you for a period of time...not good when you have work to do and you press a wrong link or access the wrong drive by accident!

Hi!
Not the whoring, never had to pay for it

Ah, you touch a subject near my heart and one that countless females have throttled me over..
...EVERYONE pays for it my dear boy. The only difference between dating and prostitution is that the "transaction" with the "provider" is honest and up front, no surpises in regards to the "hooker"....
...Dating on the other hand is full of hypocrisy. The female tries to obtain from you the most amount of "services" (diner, movies, gifts..) from you without her having to "put out" and males try to invest the least amount of funds and "get their monies worth". I dont see much difference between the two when the TRUE motives are put in the open....
So we ALL pay, even if its a single beer, the only difference is how the deal is made and what the price tag is....
Chew on that one for while......

And here we have somebody that AFAIK is married (even if unsure about his little cubs; do you have any primarch?  ) chatting about women being b.tches that deserve to be burned at the stake (more or less). LMAO  Dating is something that a whore cannot give you. Flirting can be some of the best parts of a relation, and sex is not the only reward. If it is, yup, a whore should suffice.
And who said the man has to pay for all that? Equality between the sexes dude. Thinking we are different here is simply a mistake.
Cheers,
Xavi
PS: certainly this is the most OOT thread I have read in this forum and is goin' though intrincate paths considering where it started....

Psychology would not back you in this. There have been studies into this regarding infidelity and seeking "professional services" that while sex was the intial atttraction, many came back to see the prostitute again and again, sometimes for years, becasue the prostitute would LISTEN to the mans gripes without a fight or made him feel comfortable enough to confide thoughts and feelings he could never verbalize to his spouse. So to assume that a relationship is of this nature cannot provide emotional support, indeed, even stability goes against acumulated evidence. So sex can bring you to a hooker the first few times, but it does NOT explain a good amount of "customer-client" relationships that last years.
I have heard it said that the best prositutes are the best LISTENERS. There is truth in this.
Of course information like this is EXTREMELY threatening to mainstream views and thus suppressed. It reminds me of the Kingsley report (not sure I got the name right) where in the 1950's he published than one out of every ten children in the US didn't belong to their so called "father". Shocking stuff back then. Conservatism is alive and well in the US....

Ain't it great! Where else can you get talk on epic, girls and social commentary in the same thread? I love this board! ?

LOL. Weird thread indeed. Yup, great board 
About your fidelity-listener-prostitute-confidence stuff.... well, I suppose this is why I am always the one being hurt after a relationship but I always thought that if you chose to be with someone is because you WANT to be with him/her/it. I think confidence is a very important thing in a relation and if you cannot tell something to your couple you have either a) very good friends to tell them it, or (b) a particular friend that is your onfident (whatever sex, in my case, my sister) or © it is not worth the effort to tell it to anybody.
On the other side I am both pretty liberal and pretty romantic when it comes to relations. I have been cheated for example, and man, it hurts, but I have neaver cheated my girlfriend with an other girl. I have that romantic view on life, you know, with only one girl in our life yadda yadda yadda et al.
Now we are entering the field of "what does your personal relationships look like?" field. LMAO.
Cheers,
Xavi
