Are you sure? Because you do not even know how it was funded.
I think it's damn bloody brilliant myself.

Ok I take it back about the funding, I don't know you are right!
My Mother has degrees coming out her ears all obtained after the age of 65!
Why? she doesn't need them!
As for it being insulting due to the nature of the thread!!!!!
How is sending a text to a blinking radio show something to be hugely proud of?

What! You obviously don't value the concept of life-long learning or intellectual curiosity then?djtheglove said:
How many people actually get their degrees "funded" these days?

Maybe she feels the need to compensate for her children.djtheglove said:
Maybe she didn't have the opportunity to study when she was younger due to being laden with children, if she wants to learn for the sake of learning, why not?

If you can't see that, well .... pour yourself another glass.

If and when you get to that age, and you get your degree, you'll think back to just how much your thinking has changed over the years...

Oh wow I took a bit of a battering there !!! Only to be expected really!
I agree the content of the text is what matters, and the msg was good, I don't advocate that sort of behaviour towards foreigners.
But, Come on the Chris Moyles show!! If anyone is taking that show seriously enough to trip up some lame, unfunny, half arsed comedian, then they need their head examined! Chris Moyles is not a serous show if you phone in then you should expect him to take the piss, even if it's not funny!!

I daresay Arch's mum will get a sight more benefit from it than many of the Meeja Studies wasters I saw in my old job.djtheglove said:

Uncle Mort said:A few of you know that my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She just got on with it and defeated it as she does everything else that gets in her way, having chemotherapy and still insisting on doing her bit in looking after the kids and cooking at the same time - not letting it interfere with her life at all. I was really impressed with her. She's feisty, argumentative, opinionated, and I love her to bits. There. That feels better.
My compliments to you both - been through something similar with my missus a couple of years ago - terrifying.

I'm studying again at the moment (at the grand old age of 37, and entirely self-funded) and I have to say that I think it's worthwhile (obviously, else I wouldn't do it). It keeps the brain from atrophying, enables me to get experience in something new, is a chance to meet some new people and remind myself of how incredibly young everyone is at 19!
I think that if a pensioner studying stopped a 19 year old from getting a chance of further education then that would be a bad thing; however I'm sure that isn't the case, Essex Uni was glad to have me as a fee-paying student who is likely to be low maintenance, and perhaps to give a slightly wider life experience to the other students.
Well done, Arch's mum, for getting her degree. It was probably for her own personal enjoyment and satisfaction but I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and I think it's easier to appreciate education when you're older and have chosen it, rather than just ending up there by default.
