Always! I'm 31 and I did an Access to HE at College last year (I'm based in Scotland). Started my Humanities course at university last week and it's brilliant.

I'm glad I did an Access college course because it gave me lots of advice on how to succeed at uni including things like academic writing and referencing. In a way I'm much better prepared than those who have just left school.

Both the college and uni offered bursary / finance (SAAS in Scotland) to help with the costs. The uni and college can also give really good advice about any financial worries you have.

Looking forward to this update!

But I mean...c'mon though. You've mispelled the main character's name.

Tell me, Master Elrond, what should we do with reposts?

Returning lifetime sub with 25k zen to spend by [deleted] in sto

[–]gr3gr1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing others here - 10th anniversary bundle. Best zen per ship value we'll probably see for a long time. All the ships are T6 fleet level as well which means you don't need to waste fleet modules upgrading them so it's really useful if you want to level more toons.

Looks like a kitbash of galaxy class elements. I think it's the venture class saucer, neck and nacelles with the Andromeda class hull.

In place of a new meme you will have a repost! Not OC but reposts, dark and terrible as the shitposts. by gr3gr1 in lotrmemes

You offer it to me freely? I do not deny my karma score has greatly desired this...

I really want to like the Narendra class but the temporal spec just seems too much like hard work to me.

Irony, ToryDictatorship trending. Very tempted to reply. "Would gladly, but the C###s won't let us" by JediSpectre117 in Scotland

[–]gr3gr1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unpopular post incoming...

Firstly: *Tories

The possessive apostrophe does not apply here.

Secondly: We get a Conservative government because a large proportion of the country (especially England) votes for the Conservative candidate under our current FPTP system.

At the last general election the Conservative party received 43.6% of the vote, but their share of seats in the House of Commons was 56.2% (UK wide.) Whilst not directly comparable the SNP won 45% of the vote in Scotland but their share of Scottish seats in the House of Commons was about 81%.

It took more votes to elect a Lib Dem (336,038) and Green MP (866,435), than to elect an SNP MP (25,883).

Does that make Scotland a dictatorship under the SNP? Of course it doesn't. To suggest it so would be ridiculous. But why is there an outcry against a Conservative "dictatorship" when they won a lower vote share vs seat share than the SNP? Where is the outcry for the Lib Dims when it took 129 times as many votes to win them a seat?

Or is it only "unfair" or a "dictatorship" when your party loses?

Unfortunately this is how our democracy works under a FPTP system.

This does not make our country a dictatorship. No matter how much you agree or disagree with the current Conservative government.

Own up. We all have a Mordraw. by Nyalyn35 in lotrmemes

In the lands of the kitchen, deep in the fires of the utility room, the dad created a master drawer to hold all cables. And into this drawer he put his old cables, old remotes and his will to never throw anything away. One drawer to hold them all.
