Can you get a student loan for the Open Uni or Open College



I don't want to do the work I'm just liking the idea of tossing it off for three years at the governments expense like a young person



Do you think I could get a room at the Opal accomodation ?

Not through the student loan company, though I understand this is changing. They have their own bursary and student hardship scheme at the moment though. And, bizarrely, you can pay in Tesco Clubcard points.

The place to go is Lupton residences just behind the Headingley Arndale, thats where I lived in my first year. If you are a 'mature' student then just apply to be a warden, this means you will get subsidised rent in exchange for having the powers to fine students for being noisy or doing drugs on premises.

Alternatively if you fancied a more upmarket experience then Leeds Uni has a residence at Clarence Dock where its too expensive for most people in the real world to rent the private sector apartments, but you can live there at affordable prices as a student.

And yes if you wanted one you would be as eligible to apply for a room as any student.

History of Prussia for me. With some lower-level language studies so that I can read some of the original texts better.

I think one of you should do something like criminology or forensics, that way we'd know where the Wigan gobe had vanished to...

I know this isn’t my personal blog. But I do feel I should give you all an update since it’s relevant to this thread. I’ve got the backing of two very credible organisations in Leeds to carry out a project that could have me employed for six months at least. It just needs the financial backing now.

Hopefully Rob Da Bank and Alan Raw of BBC will champion this project as they’ve both given me critical acclaim for my brief work in radio.

Things are really looking up and all I need to do now is pitch this the idea to potential investors. I’ll be starting tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I have a trip to the job centre in the afternoon so that’ll mean less time to knock on doors. The only bright side of that visit is I’ll be seeing my favourite advisor who have given me every support other than support into a job.

You have to pay the top rates to get the best person for the job look at Fabio Capello, its easy to walk away if you aren't satisfied.

Actually never mind that article from the Daily Mail, look at this: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... twalk.html a models dress falls down and shows her tits, now that is worthwhile journalism.

And, as that nice Mr Dacre made clear on Monday, during his first appearence this week at Leveson, he's so proud of his paper – and its online version.

Finally Private Eye can refrain from referring to The Wail as "Tits by (next) Christmas"

And in more news, [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/4121098/Tax-break-plan-for-families-with-cleaners.htmlthe PM considers giving tax breaks to those employing domestic servants, as a way of getting women back to work ...[/url

This is possibly beyond parody.

I could go with that suggestion, providing we had the same levels of income tax, NI and the consequent improved social benefits that Sweden enjoys

There's value to that suggestion. And I'd suggest a proper legal, living wage for those cleaners and child minders.

And if he wasn't trying to spin it as a boost for women: 'oh yes, let's help female employment levels by getting more women back into domestic service roles'.

Minty - our house needs a good scrubbing. Fancy £7 per hour (net)?

Quote ="Sandra The Terrorist"Their other corker from chief crack pot policy king Halpern is work until you die to avoid being lonely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16980361'" I'd prefer him to stop working now, if that's the sort of idea he come up with.

I suppose a later retirement age would reduce the number of elderly people who have nothing better to do than start threads on internet message boards about what happened to them in the shower that morning.

I'd charge a lot more than that for being a scrubber.

It's quite fun watching the justified anger mingling with the widespread conviction that all the UK's troubles are down to immigration, and if you downsized your home, it would be so that an illegal immigrant with dozens of children would e given it, with a state-subsidised mortgage.

As I said about a year ago, debtors prisons and some form of workhouse would solve all the nations current woes. Simple really but the government is not radical enough.

It would certainly stop all this economic / welfare migration as well. Why come to work in a rat-infested, sweatshop for no pay in a cold, damp place like the UK when you could have the same lifestyle in a nice warm place in the sub-continent?

Well you can knock one off the total....got a job today and start monday
