Someone recommended that I watch a show called Peaky Blinders. Is it any good?

    Actually we've done that before, cause our uni in basically on a mountain face. Though my mate borrowed me a battery charger which I hooked up and left overnight.

Just found out a friend has been washing his cars with dishwashing liquid for years... sigh

    Yeah if the paintwork is crap then I guess there isn't any benefit. I've seen some badly faded paintwork come back to life with some of these products. That said they were classic cars. So there was a need to try and save the paint

    There's no way in hell the paintwork on my metro will ever be recoverable so I just wash it like a lazy sod with a sponge and some soapy water or go to the car wash up the road which has a soap dispensing pressure washer brush thing haha

Whenever I hear that people I studied with are working and doing well and I are still studying, I start to feel bad about my life choices

    Steve, There is an MEng as well as an MSc(Eng) and honestly I am not sure of the difference, except that maybe an MSc has a bigger dissertation. I actually decided to do an MSc so that I could do the cool FEA and Continuum mechanics courses. I've actually met a few people who came back from industry to do masters at uni, since they had a sense of which parts of industry they liked.
    MiniNoobjhb (a name would help :P) yeah a lot of people say that a masters helps in terms of career pro...

    ...progression, though at the moment it just seems like they are significantly better off. Don't all accountants have to write SAICA board exams before/while working?

    Ja I feel the same. Nope normal accountants only need to write a SAIPA exam (professional accountant) and they can start working. SAICA exams are apparently a whole different kettle of fish, I'm writing the 1st one in Jan... Not sure I'll be alive after that.
