  1. You could just lie about the details and obtain the insurance. I'm guessing they wouldn't want to know the ins and outs, just the fact that you have it. Just don't try claiming on it.
  2. My cousin did away with his wife and her lover when he got home from work early and caught them at it. When I met him I found him to be quite a nice chap.
  3. My business studies teacher at the time advised me against using franchises in coursework as there's very little scope for what you can harp on about. Also furthering the idea behind the business is fairly pointless as it's already esablished and proved to work dependant on the demand.
  4. I reckon that would be a pretty good idea as long as you didn't waste too much time describing what the sports themselves are. I guess you have to decide whether you want to make one particular thing (such as market research, production, gaining finance etc) the focus or just spend a small amount of time on each.
  5. Well that's exactly what I did for my A-Level Business Studies coursework. I manufactured the market research and other aspects actually making my proposal sound viable. I got a really good mark but ended up dropping out before completing the year. Ah yeah, and I did it on the expansion of a bike business .
  6. You can get accounts (depending on the type of company) from Companies House for a small fee. If I were you I would concentrate on the expansion of an existing business as the current climate would make it quite hard to write a business plan for a brand new one. Maybe the expansion of something niche like a trials or mountain bike company into a new jurisdiction would be a good idea because you could include loads of shit like market research, currency movements, tax advantages/disadvantages, whether or not you set it up as a branch or incorporate a new company etc.
  7. Open Uni degrees are pretty much as well recognised as any other degree I think. My applications are all going to shit. UWE have f**ked up. They seem to think the whole time that I’ve been talking about the CERTIFICATE I’m taking, that I was on about the Diploma. If I had completed the Diploma it would give me access to a f**king masters degree. Why on earth would I be trying to get into an undergraduate degree with it!? More blaggage has ensued.
  8. I wish each place would ask me for an interview. I'm not being big-headed, but I know my shit and I'd get in.
  9. UWE declined me at first, but I blagged and now have a conditional. Southampton told me to f**k off, but I suspected they would especially considering the qualification I'm entering with isn't on UCAS' mega-list. Waiting on Ports, Herts and Keele. C'mon Keele, you know you want me baby.
  10. I guess you could take her for a nice meal if you're feeling flush. Wine and dine usually works, but it's a bit conventional.
  11. Is this the one whose father is sending you angry text messages? I'd be f**ked for somewhere to take someone during the day. Can't really think of something warm, relaxing and enjoyable that doesn't involve a jacuzzi, piano music or champagne (or a combination of all at the same time) at some point or other. Argh my post barely makes any sense. I should lay off on the school nights .
  12. I would see it as reasonable if they did it deliberately. Just the principle of it warrants a good going over.
  13. I managed all four when in sixth form. Not in a nurses office, inside the school though.
  14. It was £15 when I stayed in one in Cardiff about 5 years ago on the way back from Porthcawl. We managed to sneak 5 other people in. Cheap as f**k!
  15. Yeah, Verdana is horrible. It's possibly the most boring font in the world, and it doesn't help that what I'm typing usually plunges me into the depths of corporate depression too.
  16. Verdana 10pt. My last place it was Arial 11pt. Sometimes I break the rules and get a semi.
  17. You can elect to receive all correspondence by e-mail and nothing by post (as I have).
  18. You can go into your personal details and change your e-mail address. Problem solved . You don't even have to check that often, you just need to make sure that you've got the tick box ticked saying that they'll notify you of updates by e-mail. Then just keep an eye out on your e-mail account and check occasionally on UCAS just to make sure. I would have thought that you have an advantage considering you have work experience in the field. Hopefully that should cancel out to some degree the disadvantage of applying a little late.
  19. The deadline was only for equal consideration. You can get in right up until August I believe, it just gets harder and a bit less likely the longer you leave it. Also, people drop out and decide not to go to uni, making room.
  20. Hey, I wouldn't worry too much. However, you have missed the date (15th Jan) at which your application would be considered on a par with everyone else’s. You still stand an excellent chance of getting in though. What do you want to study and where? When you fill the UCAS application in online it asks you whether you want to receive information by post or e-mail. I elected to receive by e-mail because I rarely check my post. I’ve already had one reply and you get an e-mail from UCAS telling you to log in to ‘track’ and check your choices. You can then accept them online. Have you done your personal statement and got a reference etc?
  21. The cow in the middle adds an amusing element. That looks f**king cool though. Can you actually turn it up anywhere near max without blowing your windows out or being evicted?
  22. Damn you. Too polite but obviously not too kind! For some reason it reminds me of school newspapers.
  23. If you're driving under the speed limit in the Channel Islands you may as well be in reverse.
