also a quick reminder to get your student bank accounts set up.
HSBC are doing the free 5yr railcard again this year but you have to get it sorted before 21st august.
they are quite incompetent though, don't expect it to be a speedy process...
you can get cash instead (£50?) but only if you have an uncond. offer i think. Natwest have cash too.
HSBC lady said if you wanted to get the increased overdrafts each year you have to get your loan paid into that account cos they take that into account (haha) when deciding if or how much overdraft they should give you.
if you dont like them tho my bf got the railcard for joining up then left uni in feb so obviously doesnt haev a student bank account anymore and he still has the railcard (which is worth ~ £90).....so well worth having!

well it's easy enough if people have an irc client, i could write a crude php server client system and dump that on my website, but i dont like crudeness....i'll work on it the next few days and post it on my website later.
Okey dokes....i don't know what an irc thingy is though???

Willa and Crana i think it was have heard about their finance thing so far...i still haven't...but i did get a letter saying they're processing it. And the damn internet site still isn't working..so i can't track my application.
Hopefully it'll come through soon.

i like the idea of a ukl chatroom, but willa's been confusing me with his net-speak!
quick explanation of my net speak:
a common form of internet chat is called "Internet Relay Chat"...IRC for short. It's the biggest type in the world, and the best, although it doesnt work that great through web browsers. If you lot want to download an IRC client, such as mIRC (www.mIRC.com), then we could all chat together using that. It's quite simple once you get used to it!

Everyone... just been looking at the 1st page and the list..
we are in great need of
1) people's proper 1st names
2) people's pics
come on.. I can't shout across the college bar "Oi, is that *strange username*?" now can I. Plus I wouldn't even recognise you in the first place if you don't put your pic on!
