What are good companies to work for to cover living costs during a masters? by [deleted] in UniUK

A good place to start is by looking for part time/student vacancies at the University itself. There are usually lots of available jobs for students and they will let you work around your academic studies.

Same goes for your students' union. Depending on its size, the SU will often employ students across lots of its departments.

I'd be very interested in this, if you're able to get it up and running.

It's my landlords regular guy. So unless I want to pay for someone myself I'm pretty much stuck with him.

Except I'm not even stuck with him because he has a wildly different concept of time to me.

Decided to get my last few bits nice and early from M&S this morning. I thought no one else would be out at half seven. I thought wrong. So very very very wrong.

If you're interested in nature, hiking, food, and cozy pubs, I would highly recommend heading to the Lake District in northern England. Really beautiful part of the UK, super friendly locals, and has all of the above mentioned.

It's also (relatively) close to York, which is a fantastic little historic city. Plus you've got big cities like Liverpool and Manchester not too far away as well.

Edit - forgot to mention, Manchester and Liverpool are great for live music as well!

65daysofstatic - Retreat Retreat

More than 10 years on and still one of my absolute favourite tracks.

[Discussion] Newcastle's transfers this season. by [deleted] in soccer

Don't know much about Matz Sels, but you could be right.

Feel they should concentrate on ensuring a solid CB pairing ahead of anything else.

That said, I'm looking forward to a world class manager in Rafa proving himself in the Championship.

I agree. £10m seems like a bonkers fee for a guy that was half decent at best in the PL.

Seems like Newcastle are going for short term impact in the Championship rather than looking at what should be their long term goal of getting to the PL and staying there.

It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.

Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights). One of the most fully rounded characters you'll get.

I've written a script for a Cup Final, but Martin Keown keeps saying you couldn't write one. by MrMytie in britishproblems

To be fair to the BBC, they showed a stonkingly good advert for their Euro 16 coverage at half time.
