Are absolutely bloody useless! I think their main purpose is to try and make it as difficult as bloody possible to get a fecking loan, even when you do manage to navigate through the menus to speak to anyone it doesn't do you any good as their standing policy of only employing compulsive liars prevents you from getting any further or ever getting hold of the stupid information you need to log on to apply.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I know your pain Jaq.

Jaq its possible they simply cant BELIEVE you can be in your second year still. Perhaps their computers are designed for you?!?!

It's true, they don't make it easy to get money. Also, Marine may have a point.

The pair of you, you are just jealous, Tom because he's got a get a real job now and has less free time to spend looking at himself in the mirror and Andy, well Andys just old.

Really?
still plenty of time for that.
And proud.

I think Tom has somehow found even more time to look at himself in the mirror (I know he did geography and wasnt exactly struggling for time before) but he's managed it somehow

Eventually he will run out of food and have to start being employed somewhere, meanwhile I have another 2 years of employment avoidance and debt gathering. Or possibly he's just holding out for some kind of mirror related job.

When I'm as old as Andy I hope my beard is as handsome as his.

I think Tom's has felt quite insecure about himself ever since he was bettered by is halo profile character.

Starley has had a similar problem, but his halo character was the default setting.

After 4 phone calls over a week and a half I've finally come across a member of staff who was helpful and not just lying through his teeth to unsuspecting students and was able to sort it out so that I can apply. I have now applied, I wonder how long it'll be until I get a loan.

I tried to buy food today, but my bank card was rejected. If anyone wants to feed me, please do, because atm I'm living off about one shit meal a day (by 'meal' I may mean 'two slices of toast'). Annoyingly I'm still owed around £160 but am so shit at debt collection and finding petrol reciepts that it's not helping feed me.

they quote about 6-8 weeks for a late application, but student finance people are useless fools. im still waiting for my loan. thankfully i have a bit of money to spend on food.
have you tried emptying the famed "never emptied" boot of you car for scraps?

lol, well I can take back the pads and disks I bought for the car as they don't need replacing yet and I am owed a fair amount of money if only I could persaude people to pay me.

I might start trading lifts for food. Anyone want a lift anywhere? Give me a meal!
