I think work placements are a damn fine idea (maybe not for courses like English and philosophy) for those who want to work in that field. Doing a research project in 4th sci is all well and good but work placement in a real lab would be very useful. I'm sure going out and looking at real engineering situations would be educational. Business courses are pretty pointless without a knowledge of how real businesses work.

So yeah, universities are only for getting a degree

Yeah, in UCD in Civil Engineering they go on 6 months placement. I've talked to full time engineers who told me that I won't be using most of what I'm learning now. We went out a few times to the different sites, but it was in groups of 30 or so people - so we didn't learn that much. Generalisation here: for arts type subjects, it wouldn't make much sense - bar drama or other interaction-based subjects.

Anyways, I'm thinking of going off books next year to go on placement for 6 months or so, then go travelling, so I'd be well for placements...

LOL, hate that, you shoulda slapped her. I don't mind girls going shopping, but when they drag ME along it's another story. God almighty, shopping with a woman is a nightmare, I'd pay not to have to do it!

Chick

I'm not really into cat fighting lol, although I coulda kicked her ass... and I really wanted that top for christmas party

Time for the old fork in the eye Chick...

Chick

Lol, how did you know about that!!:eek:

Boooh!! That is NOT the spirit of the season, dear. Get some C2H5OH into yourself, stat!

I am also sober, as I am cooking christmas dinner for 2 chefs and a food critic, which amounts to a lot of pressure, but whatever.

shopping = chore

I buy clothes once a year. I go to unique and pennys only, and the entire escapade is over in under an hour.

Chick

typical guy so!

My friend calls it speed shopping, he knows what he wants to get, he hits the shops and is home and all like 45mins later... thats not shopping!!

snorlax

it all depends what your shopping for and with whom.
shoe shopping is a nightmare, there's just so many of them!

but i love going shopping for food ,especially chocolate or stationary!

Chick

Right that's it, I'm totally hitting the sales 2moro morning, bright n early

Yep, same (different shops though). I HATE shopping...all those annoying salespeople hanging around like street dogs, the crappy music, overheated shops, halogen lights, scangers/toffs, the lack of non-metrosexual clothes, overpriced rubbish...etc. I buy some clothes and shoes off the internet, saves me a lot of hassle and money.

John

Shopping doesn't bother me because I have a system. If I go into a shop and if I don't find something I like within a minute and a half I leave. If this happens in three shops in a row I go to a record store and buy a cd. Then repeat process. That way I either find some clothes I like or else I end up with some more cd's. I like to hit shops like Harlequin for shirts and trousers or else I go for M&S, Penneys, Dunnes, etc if I'm feeling like some less exciting clothes. Oh and the fact that I'd say 90% of my wardrobe are t-shirts from concerts means that I never really need to shop for t-shirts.

Ace_Rimmer-"you eat stationary"

nope!

Well for me it's not about looking gay, it's about looking like those annoying (straight) metrosexuals - the types who wear bell-bottoms and spangly tops and have frosted bleached spikes in their hair... :rolleyes: Gay men would have more taste than that, or so I'd hope..

Chick

Well what kind of clothes would you not wear then? theres absolutely tonnes of trousers, jeans, jackets, shirts etc in the shops that dont look metro. Cos I was helping my friend pick out clothes the b4 xmas and I saw loadsa nice mens clothes!
