Internet Bandwidth?

[PotGuy]

Does crunching use any internet bandwidth?

I would like to get my uni laptop crunching, but if it uses internet bandwidth then I can't do it.

Good, I'll get it working then.

One good thing about uni - electricity bill included

Always nice to know that the tax payers money is being spent well.

Indeed!

To be honest, uni used to be a much bigger burden on the taxpayer. I will come out of uni with an £18k debt into a country with no jobs and a degree which will be pretty worthless.

Hurrah!

Such a cynic

Dare to dream.

 

[Abarbarian]

Aye.

A life without dreams is like a bird with a broken wing.

What are you studying..? Have you ever thought of working while you are stdying.? Might help break that £18k debt....

Good advice from MadX there,

Try and get a job at Sainsbury or Tesco that way you get a discount on food so its cheaper, oh and booze! yay booze.

Blah... I finished Uni about 3 years ago.... having a job whilst studying does help greatly..... £6k debt.
However my m8 had a job but went to uni in London.... his debt is over £20k and he did a degree in music.... atleast he got his busking permit

I wash dishes over at Keele Hall (the old estate home which is 20 seconds away) a few hours a week, nothing more.

Not many jobs about in Stoke at the moment.

When I was 16, and the proud owner of a Lambretta Li150, still at school, I used to wash up every Saturday evening at the Tudor House Steak restaurant in Bromley, Kent.

All the crockery and cutlery got loaded onto a conveyor belt/rack after I'd scraped all the uneaten food off into a bin, and went through this huge machine which blasted everything with high powered steam. I had to inspect everything and all items that weren't clean I had to wash by hand. And also wash all pots and pans by hand.

I worked from 6pm to midnight and was paid an enormous £1.50. This somewhat modest fee enabled me to run my motor scooter, paid for fuel and repairs. I never did get rid of the smell of the kitchen til about Tuesday though, lol

Only high point was that at about 9.30pm I could eat whatever I liked off of the menu, so I always had a huge fillet steak. Which was probably worth about the same as my wages.

Done that for about a year, I've done worse.

Not may jobs...? Or is it not many you are willing to do..? But there again ya say you're a pot washer, so I assume you would put your hand to owt that was given to you..?..?

I know that smell all to well...When I do the odd shift cheffing, me missus refuses to put me Chef's whites in with other laundry..You get them all nice and clean..But there is still a smell to them...Almost like a lingering f*rt...

My Tv 175 was bored out to a 200 with an SX 200 flywheel an a Amal 32 carb an one of them crack crack crack exhausts, just can not remember thier name. My baby flew.

Passed me car test one day after me 17th birthday but did not get a car till I was 18 though.

There was a lass from Hull who had TWO SX 200's mounted side by side on the frame and she used to race it. Pretty lass aswell.



Ha ha just did a google and here is a Press release of the crowd I rode with.

Of course I am now a respectable citizen.

I'm not bothered. If it pays, I'll do it.

I'll be studying more next year, probably won't bother getting a job. Working in a warehouse five days a week for the next two-three months, so should have a couple of grand in the bank by the time I go back. Having nothing to do is horrible after a few days.
