It's a Hen night, allow it.

I understand them having the butlers of course, but i don't want to see a picture of them though? I'd never send her a picture of a stripper if i was on a stag.

Edit: Anyway she's apologised now, as i used the stripper analagy, she could see how maybe it wasn't the best idea she had.

1994 was a fine year my nigga but nothing's worth having to put up with that cunt whaling for an hour.
Meet her after, she would have been drinking, finish her off with a few in a cocktail bar. Easy as 1..2…3

Anyone got any experience of having knitwear altered? Got a thick cardigan that I need the sleeves shortened on, tailors said they'd try but they've never done it before and won't know how well it could turn out. Just want to see if anyone has had any disasters.

I don't know much about knitting, but surely once you start cutting up a knitted item, it will start to undo?

Thinking about sacking off uni this year and going next year.
Basically, I didn't get the choice I wanted this year - got my fourth + fifth choices, and I've just worked out if I move to wales this summer, hustle for a year and apply to get in for 2013 fees could potentially be half of what they would be if I went this year (£48,000 vs £25,000).
On the other side I'm 22 and still haven't been to uni yet, getting out of the study grind might fuck up my motivation as it has in the past, could cause beef with the family, and there's no guarantee I could find a job when I move away.

What to do?

Pretty much to work and earn money to put away for uni for the whole year…maybe travel for a month or two. The thing is I've already been doing this kind of thing on and off for the last couple of years since school, sort of getting tired of it. The only reason I'm thinking about this is that some of the people in the class on the course I'm doing who've applied for uni like me this year are deferring for various reasons…and I'm wondering if the opportunity to get cheaper fees + get onto a better course at a better uni is worth not taking my existing offer and going ahead this september.
