Jose posted:should i get star wars battlefront for the pc or ps4 PC will probably, eventually, run the game much better... but EA is the publisher, so expect server issues for the first year, shortly followed by a season pass, and a ton of DLC that has been made already, but is locked on the disc.

Fluo posted:*takes three 1p sweets out the £1 pick a mix* Yes we can. Don't stop at sweet packs. Take 3 squares off of the toilet paper, and three sips out of the milkshake cartons. Also sell Fredos for 19p instead of the now standard 20p.

youtube commenter posted:Anyone ever claimed a refund from the Student Loan Company and if so do you know how far back you are allowed to claim? The Student Loan company decided as of a few weeks ago that they feel like they have overpaid me my student grant for all of my final year (they think I'm not entitled to any of the grant money of that year) and they want the money back in full (we're talking 3K here). They then proceed to offer my sister the exact same amount that they are asking for me to pay back. Their logic makes no sense.

crispix posted:i've a mate who had a very similar thing happen to him. afaik the worst they can do is withhold funding if you return to study again. they seem to gently caress up a lot :/ They've sent me a few letters since I've finished studying demanding the money back or they'll contact a debt collection agency. That's the thing, I don't know how far they'll go to get it back. I've not contacted them at all about the matter, I've been burying my head in the sand pretending it's not there. So here's to hoping they don't some how screw me.

crispix posted:when did you start/finish studying? I finished studying May 2015. The problem is I have the money to pay them back the 3K right now if I wanted. But what really pisses me off is that I saved hard through University so that I could have some money left over coming out of it. Meanwhile everyone else in my class pissed away all of their money and even went into overdraft, and they're not in this situation. I'm very bitter about the whole thing. Thanks for your advice though!

I only got the game yesterday, and I'm not particularly good at the game, but I do find it fun... well when you're playing in a team. When you're with randoms who drop out as soon as you go 0-1 down, the game becomes less fun. If anyone wants to join me in rocket league at some point, add me on skype @ Manicx97 or on steam @ Manic X (picture of green hedgehog).

I wouldn't really say that we're really at war. We're dropping bombs in Syria (some may even hit their intended targets). But we are not being invaded. ISIS has an army that is estimated to number around 40 000. And there's a lot of countries between here and there. The extremists that commit terror attrocities in western countries have nearly all been born in the western countries, or have lived in them for some time and have been indoctrinated. When the British population start to rebel against the government, there will be another conveniently timed terror attack to make the masses beg for their protection again. It's the easiest trick in the book. I think Yoda puts it best: "Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to Suffering," = the Sheeple.

I can safetly say I never experienced this as a child. I didn't often ask for money because I had principles, but when I did I was always given it. That said, now I am 21 and I told my Dad the last time I saw him that I spent the eqivalent of £7 on an internet forum account, and then another £7 just so I could see what my friends posted on the internet forum, he did just say: "Sounds like you got screwed out of money, you can see your friends posting crappy stuff on Facebook," I didn't then tell him the part where you're all internet strangers and that I actually prefer this to Facebook.

The country voted Brummie as the most unintelligent sounding accent, and the second least attractive behind Scouse. I have more of a Black Country accent, but I can pronounce my 'r's so no once can tell. Edit: Also count me in the next Goonmeet.

I know the real welsh word for Microwave is different; but what I was saying was that the Welsh people at my University when I was there said they all call it popty ping in Wales; so I just gathered that was the "new word" for it if you will. I'm sorry if I hurt your Welsh Herritage Taff Man, I have learnt my lesson. Now moving onto the Scottish term for Microwave...
