Thank you dude, I'm an og Batnerd and Supergeek. New 52 sucks balls, they've basically reinvented the Justice League as the Teen Titans.

It's even better to have a cold and watch the hours pass as you try and get some sleep… And when you wake up, and you wanna grab your clothes, there's a spider the size of freakin Batman right next to your hand...

I'm awake all right 

AND FUCK BATMAN.

The fuckers finally called in my student loan, repayments of £180 a month starting next month….fuck 

[tmg]

Why didn't they get you before now? I started paying mine about 2yrs after I left uni

Sometimes people slip through the system. Happened to a few mates of mine. Sorry to hear it old chap!

That could be because I was the Account Director at the Student Loans Company when the original IT system went live…..

[Megatron1505]

I didn't get caught because I rather cleverly pay my pension and all our child care cost by salary sacrifice, therefore reducing my declared wage below the repayment threshold.

[Cutlasshound]

Then that sucks double time old chap!

On a plus note, could be a fine excuse to consume even more rum/beer?

Yeh, it doesn't quite make us paupers but my next faberge egg purchase might be delayed

^I think its bloody ridiculous that you have to get a student loan in the first place. The system should invest in people committed to further learning in the knowledge that these individuals would put a return on the investment once their studies are complete. I too feel for you Mega

It's a bloody miracle he's not having to pay 1000 quid a week…

Big props to my parents.
2,5 years ago I decided to go back to school (full time) to become some kind of social worker. I did not a penny for it. But my parents gave me a roof and food + some bucks for the everyday fun. That's the reason why I work also on the weekends besides school and my unpaid internship.

Mega, I feel with you. It sucks so hard to want education but pay so much for it.

[Giles]

That's random love…..

I can absolutely relate, you get nearly zero support if you want to educate yourself more but guess who's first on the porch when you are able to make a decent amount of money because of it? Exactly, when it comes to taxes the government is not so shy anymore.

Lol.  Call me when your student loan payments are 80% of your mortgage payments.

I pay well over 150% of my mortgage in student loan payments….
