Random Rants XVI: Whambulance Dispatch Center

[Atticus]

My uni is raising it's fees almost every week now. It was 1350 for my classes last week at now it's 1500.

I started at around $2300 per semester, and 5 years later finished my degree paying $5000 per semester.

I feel for you bros. When I begun, we had 65 euro fee for a year. When I graduated it was almost 90 euros! If the fee wouldn't have entitled to low price lunches and half price train tickets, due to which it actually saved a lot money, I would have been seriously pissed!

 

[choxorn]

Quit complaining, you European [Other word for illigetimate children] get it hundreds of times cheaper than us.

 

[Adria]

Also, Rant. So... hot... here...

Ugh I know! It's not supposed to get this hot here (Victoria's close enough to probably be in the same heat wave as Seattle). Especially not on days where I can't go to the lake. Even the AC is having trouble keeping up - normally I end up being cold at work through the summer, but not this week.

 

[Mowque]

Work was a tad too sunny today for my liking...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

It's so hot and humid T_T

 

[mythmonster2]

Really? Here too!

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Spoiler :

I see what you did there.

But hey, we have infidels to kill in the Middle East and an empire to build. We can't afford to shift the money the government takes from us to productive, non-violent uses.

Why the hell must Americans call it 'Aluminum' when it is ALUMINIUM?

Because aluminium is an absolutely ******** word.


And how the hell can professors afford their ridiculous salaries if you only pay that low a tuition? Oh yeah, 80% taxes.

 

[Camikaze]

I have too much work to do. My exams start Monday week. I think I should try and stay away from OT and I&S until I'm finished these exams.

 

[Harbringer]

I was going to the grand canyon tomorrow, and now Im not.

Because just like with your "colour" and "harbour" and "cheque" lunacy, we prefer to omit the extra, unnecessary letter. yes I realize that the situations are not comparable at all but screw it, I don't like brit spellings

You know, that answer actually makes some sense in a funny way.

Although personally I spell British style.

Rant: I can't stop cursing atm. Too happy. I wish I don't have to curse to express it.

Rant: when you pronounce words with an a in them, it's not barf, grarse and parrf, it's bath, grass and path!

Amen to that, brother. Stupid upper class tosh speaking our language how they want.

I have a hangover.

The discoverer of the element aluminum also preferred that spelling.

Is that some sort of weird hypercorrection?
