Well to be honest I hate most newbies like anybody else but as I was taking a trip down memory lane on the FOG I noticed there is a patern for a newbie..

1. Complains at leats once about not winning and they pretend they have tried forever when really it is only 2 days they have been on.

2. After will they threaten to leave for attention (we've all done it)

3. Make a topic on console wars

4. Plead to Ali or Tony by sucking up to let them win

5. Try to attack one of the regulars/notabeles

Theres more somewhere :)

Yep! I think that would be a better idea!

As for all the talk of universities, I'm a bit annoyed I missed it last night, but LEicester is a really nice city. Really student orientated. Loads of clubs and pubs etc, they all have cheap student nights as well.

Well worth a look as there are 2 universities there.

I have been here for around 85 days,(a short time for most)
and some people who have been here for 30 days are regulars.
I could just post twice on every forum i could find and become a regular by wednesday; but don't you think it would be better to be a newbie and contribute a good post to a topic than just write mindless dribble and be a regular?

Neither, I would advise people to go to university if they thought that was what they wanted in life.

I would advise people to drop out of university if they didn't enjoy it.

After all, we're only here once, why tie up 6% of our time doing something we don't want to do?

I hate education... not that i'm no good at it, i'm very proud of my 'B' in Maths BUT, the whole system is going down the pan!

I much prefer doing other stuff....

:D

Like, er... playing pool, tennis, badminton, football, games, watching tv, videos, movies, life is too short to worry about education and worrying in general...

I'll take the easier way out...

As long as I have a first class ticket THROUGH the pearly gates, I don't give 6 monkeys what happens on earth!

Je ne comprends pas.


Would you advise people to actually sign up for uni go for a bit and then drop out?

or

Would it be better to just not sign up in the first place?
