University and College Union strikes. There have been at least 3 this year and I'm losing lectures that I've paid for because of them. And the lecturer who sends out emails to let us know is a c*** and opens with "as you will be aware, the Univeristy [sic] & College Union, Unison and Unite have called a strike..." every single time.

I work (non-academic thank f***) for a Uni but I'll be in work on Thursday. I don't see what the Unions hope to achieve. The pay offer is done and dusted as far as the Uni is concerned. 1% is s*** due to rises in the cost of living, but at a time where the council near me announced 1000 job losses I think I've got it okay personally.

As for lectures, I'm sure you'll get by without them

Of course I'll get by, but for that module in particular we'll have missed out on at least a fifth of the scheduled lectures we've paid for and for some reason that pisses me off.

Aren't they supposed to reschedule the lectures? That's what happened to us last time.

I don't know if they're meant to, but that's never happened for us.

Probably depends on the Uni, we never but then that's Sunderland for you.

[Speedo]

Reschedule lectures? My Uni (Sheffield) is so disorganised they don't even release the exam timetable until April.

[bodacious benny]

Give it a few years and there won't even be lectures. It'll all be technology enhanced learning etc.

There's no need for 20/30/40/50 students to sit in a lecture theatre listening to someone speak.

Hot drinks.

He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

"Hot drinks with milk" is what I think he meant.

Unless that hot drink happens to be milk based.

Hot drinks.

Hot drinks are stupid

Well if you want to drink the devil's semen then you go right ahead .

Well that escalated quickly.

I don't think that's how hot milk is made...

Well, something like that anyway .

Hot drinks are horrific but I understand the practical need for coffee for some people. However, people who drink hot fruit juice are basically Hitler.

[Henry Hoover]

Fruit tea is amazing

[Al-Calo]

Fruit teas are evil. They deceive you by being bright and smelling like whatever they're meant to be, but they taste of hot water with the faintest tinge of whatever flavour they supposedly are.

[biggeordiedave]

Black coffee and black tea are great .
