But hey I can see it now! ???

edit: but not now. Whathe?

I sure cannot..   ???

Gah, ninja'd by your editing!

I've never seen your avatar scriver.

What image host do you use?
It's new since late early today, so that's not so strange ;)

It looks visible now for a second, but then when it's finished loading it disappears. Dasleah's does the same thing. I think it's something to do with the host.
Guess I'll have to change the host tomorrow, and then we'll see.

All the talk of daughters in the happy thread is making me feel quite emo...
It's not emo if you've got a real reason to be sad. :)

Speaking of crap: The tuition fee rise in England has been approved.  Hello world's most expensive state universities.

Although a majority of Lib Dems refused to follow their leader on the vote.

Dammit. I wanted to go to a British university. :/

Oxbridge oh man oh man.

University of Greenwhich, please leave your expectaions at the door.

Sadly, thats just about the only place nearby I can actualy afford T.T

We Californians know how you brits feel. We had some big student protests (which I myself joined) when the governer at the time Gray Davis (or Davis Gray?) was ruining our college education system and we (as in California) booted him out.

Also, I think I saw on CNN PM Brown saying that students actually pay more in the US than the brits will with the tripled tuition fees. I can't verify if that is true or not.

@scriver: Your avatar is still nonexistent for me. Could you link to the actual pic for it?

Following this an angry mob of students attacked the car of some politician, broke some windows at some government buildings and burned down a public Christmas tree. I can understand the mob attacking politicians and breaking government buildings, even if I'm opposed to such behavior. But burn down the Christmas tree? That's just petty.

I was rather suprised when Clegg actualy agreed! AND I VOTED FOR HIM D=

Oh well, I can't wait to pay anything in excess of £12,000 a year!
The cap is actually £9000.  Although with all the other stuff you have to pay for when going to university, something like that isn't at all inconceivable.

Dammit. I wanted to go to a British university. :/

Oxbridge oh man oh man.
Hey, I live in Cambridge!  Comon down, man!

They didn't actually succeed in bringing down the tree.

Still, the Christmas Tree? I keep having issues with that one act of vandalism. An angry mob turning over cars and breaking windows I'll let slide because it's expected, this is a major thing shooting a lot of students in the wallet. The Tree just seems like a separate thing, like being angry at the military and burning down a hospital.

What, why breaking windows and damaging cars okay because its expected?

Probably just because it seemed like the easiest government funded target nearby, I guess.
