Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

from my own childrens' experience, 2 years would have been ample to complete BSc (Durham)and BA (Nottingham) degrees

Yes, agreed. The first year for able students is a waste of time and money.

I hope that applies for Oxford and Cambridge degree courses.

no reason why it should not .... to all intents and purposes, oxbridge degrees are no different from those from elsewhere

Valued differently in the marketplace?

I would like to mention the passing of a great rock and roll star of Johnny Hallyday French singer, artist ......and I recommend a viewing of some of his earliest works that are truly superb that captures all the wonderful essence of France.... believe me......

What a bunch of wets the French are acting like a bunch of screaming teenagers of the death of a rock and roll/singer performer - just as soppy as the British were when Diana was pronounced dead.

Will there be such an outpouring of emotion when The Queen or Philip shuffle off for better or worse?

Will there even be a wet eye from the public when Charles follows them?

79674 - to some extent, but then so are degrees from east anglia uni and similar in media studies

Coalition student fees deal; better than those being offered by Labour and the Conservatives?

As an aside matter, whilst doing a bit of surfing recently for my own interest, I happened to find out, that Company Number, 04503731, being MoneyAM Limited, was dissolved on 31 October 2017. I didn't know this myself and thought it might be of interest to some of you.

The Website, MoneyAM, is operated by AJ Bell Media Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 03733852 and with its registered office is at Trafford House, Chester Rd, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0RS, and trading as MoneyAM ("AJ Bell Media").

From http://www.ajbell.co.uk/about-us/people/mike-boydell we can see that the Managing Director of A J Bell Media is Mike Boydell, who most of us know posts on here as "Bullshare".
