Started absolutely shit - the wee man pull a cup of tea over the top of himself whilst we were out. Luckily his snowsuit took the brunt of it and there's no damage. Cue me stripping him down, putting damp cloths on the affected area. Him in tears, me in tears and everyone in the shop asking if they could help. Got him dried down, had to o

put my jumper on him, gave him an apple and he was sorted and I'm sitting there a quivering wreck. Ran round to boots to buy him new clothes and he was as good as new.

Had a match tonight - beasted it!!

What can you actually use your NUS extra card for?

If I want discount, I just give the shop my Student card, Loughborough College took the liberty of printing NUS on the bottom of it :P Works everywhere.

Having to write a report/presentation and not having a clue what I'm actually supposed to be putting in it but knowing some sort of in-depth analysis and lots of clever-bollocks terminology will be expected. I've kinda done it, I think, :dunno: but I'm left feeling really stupid and incompetent. :glare::(:cry:

You know it gets sent to the Student Union and not where your normal collection for post is?

Some shops only accept NUS Extra. I have been in to shops however where it says you need an NUS Extra card but I've just flicked out my student card which Brunel gave me and it's worked. My uni card only has NUS on it.

Ah! That 'Northern' girl, according to Jenny Eclair on The Apprentice - You're Fired. :rolleyes:

Yes I laughed when that mess of a woman Jenny Eclair (give me Jo Brand anytime lol) said the Northern girl, does she not know Leicester is in the Midlands? the term Midlands is self explanatory. What was she doing on the show anyway? Surely she was not there to provide 'humour' she never was or ever will be funny.

Trains with 2 and a half carriages of First Class, half a carriage of discontinued buffet bar, and only 2 carriages of Standard Class for most of the people on the train to cram into.

Fuck First Class travel.

Talked to college student services today, they have no record of me ordering the card. Since i did it online and the money has definately been taken out of the account, it would appear NUS have messed up and sent the card to the wrong college.

Lucky lad, when I was 18 months old I pulled my aunty's cup of black coffee over my stomach, just out of the kettle, to make it worse it was at my Grandad's funeral, was in hospital for ages, they thought i'd have to have a skin graft but I didn't in the end, got scars all over my stomach, luckly didn't go higher than my chest/neck and luckly my nappy saved the delecate areas! lol. Glad to hear he was ok!

Surely even in the fens you've learnt how to operate a microwave?! :devil: And it's a fair point - no where will deliver to where I live... unless I phone the local pub landlord and literally cry and beg down the phone. >_<
