the tard blew-up again?
-------------------- Jerry Burgess: "Valentino moved through the field in Barcelona and everyone that he passed got a riding lesson."
"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices." "Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman" |

That's a very bold decision bald, in view of the sprogs.
I went to Uni as a 'mature student' at 27 when my daughter was 18 months old, it was hard financially, but I got the first that I was after, (although it might as well be written on toilet paper in view of what I do now). It's good that you are off to study something of practical and vocational use. If the consistent quality of your posts are anything to go by then you're obviously not lacking in the old cerebal region. I'm sure you'll piss it. -------------------- "Buy the ticket take the ride" - Hunter S Thompson

Baldylocks, remember 1 very important thing.
even if this doesn't turn out to be what you expected, the thing is you've tried, far better to try and fail then never try at all! If you don't do this now you'll spend the rest of your life thinking what if..... Once again, good luck! |

Baldylox - Good Luck!
Remember the title of Rossi's autobiography - "What if I had never tried it...." My bother-in-law went to Uni at 26 with no A levels and few O levels having been a brickie, a welder and a truckie. He graduated in Computing in 1997 and now, at 40, is enjoying living and contracting in Brisbane, Australia, earning decent cash and taking his hols in Thailand (he is single, so why the hell not!). As Arrabbiata says, you hardly seem short of brain cells, so hopefully the world'll be your oyster in a few years. Especially given your choice of subject. |
