Why are people so hard to contact. Really need to contact my uni and the number I have keeps ringing then going to a automated message.

So to get my way I have just looked for any email address listed on their website and emailed them all the same message . Such rubbish service as usual for the money you pay, my heart really goes out to the people paying 8k a year.
What university do you go to?

Manchester Met. I think the whole system is flawed, I have never been able to see how its worth 3k a year never mind 8k a year....but I still don't regret it had an amazing time.

Basically had to resit one of my assignments as I totally missed the presentation . Anyways I just needed to pass the assignment and I am sure I done enough for that. But its been 4 and a half weeks now and I am due to start uni on Monday, obviously can't enrol or get student finance until this assignment mark is back.

The funny thing is the assignment was on hand in procedures, one of them being your assignment will be handed back within four weeks. So annoying, I can understand delays when marking like 400 of them but I am sure there are only about 30 people doing the resit, winds me up that I pay so much money for the course and this is how they deal with stuff. Oh to top that off the resit was £90 extra

If you're talking about tuition fees they're actually 9k a year for most places.

I know they are 'only' 8k at my uni but 9k bigger owch. Do not know how basically anything can be justified to treble in cost from one year to the next

There isn't any justification, other than saying that the debt is being shifted from the government to individuals (the students) because as far as I'm aware the universities aren't receiving any more money, in fact some of them have had their budgets reduced - and yet they're now under pressure to deliver higher standards because the students are, quite rightfully, demanding that everything be of the highest quality due to the raised tuition fees.

In other words the coalition has screwed over both the higher education system & the current generation of people attending university. The Lib Dems in particular have really blown it in terms of future electoral success.

If only that had happened in a literal, not just metaphorical, sense.

Who on earth is going to win SPOTY now?
It's going to be a fantastic show.

What with his emotional speech after Wimbledon, the Olympics and now earning his place amongst the big boys, he's got to be right up there as a favourite. If there's a load of Olympians up for it, they could split the vote leaving it clear for someone like Andy.


I'm usually more of a Novak fan but even I wanted Andy to win this one!

Today I thought Andy had it in the bag, but then I forgot that Wiggins also won the Tour de France, which is like... off the scale epic! x

Don't forget Bradley Wiggins, it could be argued that he's greater than Andy as he was the first Brit ever to win the Tour De France!

As so much has gone on in British sport since then, I really hope he doesn't get forgotten

It's going to be a close vote for the Sports Personality - I can see the BBC giving out 2. Wiggins winning the TDF for the first time (1 contest per year, even though I know it goes toward the worldwide tour rankings) versus Murray being the first Brit to win a grand slam since before World War 2 (4 contests per year).

And then you've got our greatest Olympian ever in his last Olympics ever - tough decision.

I'll be honest, I did forget Bradley Wiggins.

OK, a bit late to the tennis party (too tight to pay for Sky Sports so rely on Eurosport) but have just watched the final and I'm in floods of tears. Wow, just wow. Glad I got the beers in for tonight - can't believe I actually managed to avoid the result all day!

Bradley sat on that throne like he owned it

I think Bradley will win.

Andy Murray doesn't seem to be very popular and the Scottish vote will be split with Chris Hoy.

But they are hideous!



Andy has won me over so much this year. I was just happy to see that he actually had a personality.


Not that I want either of them to win.

Bradley's personality is better (its like we're duking it out for the prize ourselves brummy, am loving this!)

Did yu not see the twitter rants with Piers Morgan? Anyone who puts that smug twit in his place deserves an award

As brilliant as it was, I don't think it was actually BW who tweeted them. Still great to read.

I appreciate it now that he's shown so many different sides to it. He's a real boy to me now!

Awww...I forgot it was a hoax - you're right though, made for a great read

I don't follow tennis at all, so I can't say that Murray's not worthy

I don't follow cycling - not since my bike getting stolen as a kid traumatised me.

One of the best things about SPOTY this time around is that with such a wealth of achievements to choose from, nobody on the shortlist should be unworthy.

That's true!

I loathe Piers Morgan with a passion surpassed only by my sheer and utter HATRED of Pip Schofield who not only is misinformed and reactionary, but also once trod on my shoe in a high end eatery in Canning Town (such an Oxymoron) and has yet to apologise. (If it wasn't him it was his identical twin brother who he really should put on a tighter leash)

And hopefully this year there will be some women included in the short list

And he's never apologised for screaming "F*CK OFF!!!" in my general direction back in the early '90's

That was definitely him, no chance of bad twinnage there
