  1. Hey mate, i went through the same sort of thing as you. My mum wanted me to go to uni, my dad didnt care. I didnt want to go to uni. Did 1 year at 6th form doing A levels and failed so bad i got 1/100 on my Mechanics paper! and a U in everything.

    Anyway, i suggest going with whatever makes you happy and what you want to do, its your life but dont ruin it. Take your time deciding but then again to wait too long for open opportunities. I'm now at College studying Engineering, got into contact with some guys at BAE (British Aerospace Engineering) and they said that after my corurse they would take me on as an apprentice and then get a sweet job with them.

    Long story put short go with whatever makes you happy, and what YOU want to do. Not what other want you to do, but take their advice into consideration. Also, sit down with you parents, dont get angry at them and say you dont want to go to Uni and what you do want to do.

  2. Hopefully for you, you will calm down on the partying and wont spend as much. My bro did that on his first year at uni and got an overdraft quite quickly. But don't cut down too much you still need to enjoy yourself or it will be crap.

    On the money saving front dont get takeaways, dont go out to eat, buy Sainsbury's Basics and Tesco's Value food :) its still edible ( just ).

    And now you have all your books thats a big cunk of money out the way.

    Stevo's idea is a pretty good one, think i'll be using that when i go to Uni

  3. Hey guys, im new here and im just starting taking trials biking seriously. I've done a bit before but nothing serious.

    At the moment im riding a Saracen M.A.D Team 2004, kinda old and not great.

    Im looking for a new "26 to start trials on properly, money isn't really a problem. Any suggestions would be greatfull.

    Thanks
