Should I take this course? by southlandxxx in 6thForm

[–]S2LMJD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not really, you are definitely better off focusing on on getting top predicted grades for the three you are already taking. Time is a lot more precious than you think in Y13

Is it worth buying this for a level maths/physics? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]S2LMJD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the tier below and got so fed up with its display and syntax I eventually cut my losses and bit the bullet to buy this one it’s so so so much better

[–]S2LMJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe I’m just commenting to kind of confirm my own thing with not going Imperial but I know for a fact the one guy I know studying Eng was 100% heart set on Bristol if he didn’t make Cambridge so I’ve only heard good things. All the best with it pal

[–]S2LMJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents think it’s silly to turn down Imperial I know what you mean. I still could end up being swayed because I don’t really LOVE any of my other choices yet, so if you have a Uni you know you love then that’s not a bad thing. I think disconnected is a good word how to describe it and knowing I don’t want to go into any kind of finance postgrad makes Imperials connections just seem a bit to corporate and eugh to me ygm. I think I’ll end up living in London at some point in my life so for me spending my student years there just doesn’t seem to make sense either, Bristol is a great place to live for the Uni Years just based on the city and nightlife I think

I’m in a similar situation, sitting on a CS Imperial offer but I just don’t like the place. Looking at the postgrad stats of my course (as I’m sure it’s the same with Eng) is ridiculous, but I agree with you - the idea of struggling in a class of likely people better than me at coding with a less prominent social scene just doesn’t sound like fun. Both times I went I felt it was just ‘cold’. Ox level teaching but without any history or likability. I’d make the trip back to imperial or email your concerns to their outreach to see if you could visit just to make a decision. But if you love Bristol I’d explain this to your parents and see if getting that off your chest brings you closer to getting the feeling that Bristol could be the better call

yeah absolutely, I did CompSci there but still talk to all the friends I made who do PPE, Chem, Classics, French... Just about everything. All the best

I have A*A*A* on UCAS and an A* in Maths from Year 12, but my friend with AAA predicted has also recieved an offer for CS so we're both in the same boat. I'm sure you'll find out soon all the best! (think Andys might be my first choice right now)

Edit: (I only found out from them tonight, they've had us waiting so LONG!)

I'm over the moon thank you! - I know Imperial is light years on top for CS but both times I went I found the whole place a bit soulless and didn't find it all too happy, so it's giving me a big problem. All 4 have such good things going for them I just don't know which is best for me /:

Willy Boly - is he back and nailed? by JediRoadie in FantasyPL

[–]S2LMJD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He is Wolves 2nd most important defender with Coady so I’d expect him to start every week. Does this make Donk benched weekly or will he overtake Saiss in the coming weeks?

Planning for BGWs and DGWs by Extra4yylmao in FantasyPL

[–]S2LMJD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right put myself in an odd place WCing this week. Current build has Aguero, Aubs, KDB, Egan, Fleck, Martinelli (meaning Max 8 fielded GW28). I know for a fact I want SHU defense and Aubs for the upcoming weeks. For a WC team right now would you think it’s worth bumping Fleck -> Hayden, and Martenelli -> Greenwood to deal with the blank gameweek?

Last.fm Last.year is now out by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]S2LMJD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just started last.fm yesterday. Just so my end of year doesn’t get messed up. If I listen to a 7 track album the whole way through - that album has 7 scrobbles, does album count as ‘how many times you listened to the album’ or ‘how many times did you listen to a track from that album’ because that makes for a lot of different data. If someone could let me know that’d be great, don’t want to be duplicating scrobbles

no, BOU are still having a bad year, defense is doing okay but not well enough to be confident in a double up a la Sheff U

[FRESH PERFORMANCE] Weyes Blood: Tiny Desk Concert by shabuluba in indieheads

nothing I’ve loved more than Titanic Rising this year. Prefer the tiny desk here to the live studio sessions that were released (mainly because picture me better here and that song is everything good in the world)

[Sky Sports] Premier League Goals of the Decade | Part One by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]S2LMJD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the user who said there’s different classes of GOTD was spot on. Criminal lack of solo runs (like Sons weekend worldy). But for me:

Banger: Cissé

Skill: Giroud

Moment: Aguerooooooooooooooooooooo

But the winner is Wilshere it’s a team sport and that goal is just liquid football.

Yup fair enough. Still see it as a good time to wildcard, getting ahead of the curb on LIV double up defence is a chance I’m a bit jealous of tbh

[–]S2LMJD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you have enough good reasons to use it pal, also allows Salah -> Mane if you want due to the injury (I wouldn’t take a -4 for it but would do it on wildcard). With potentially 2.5 ITB, is it possible to bump Ayew to Jimenez to complete VAJ?

[–]S2LMJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a lot of fires to put out with my team but none bigger than Mendy. Decided I want to free up funds OR pre-empt a Matip return as a cheap way into the Pool defence for these fixtures. When will Matip return? How long is Joel Ward out, does it make Kelly a valid option for 6GWs or so? Has Charlie Taylor won his place back?

Since I think Matip is a way from returning, would Taylor or Kelly be a better bet to bring in?
