1) You can't get a student day travelcard. The TFL student card lets
you get 7day and longer travelcards at the "discount" rate although if
you buy an annual "discount" travelcard you don't get the gold card
benefits

2) The University of Roehampton is not really a university it's a
renamed teaching college

If you're seriously studying programming, then all I can say is it's a
bloody good job visual development environments mean that there's no need
to learn syntax and case-sensitivity. Unbelievable.

There's a subtle difference between "minor errors" and functional
illiteracy.

My point exactly - it was renamed as a university when labour devalued
degrees by converting polys into universities and giving them degree
awarding powers.

It's still a degree, it's a "proper" University, and you're an arrogant
arse-hole

Yes it is a degree and yes Roehampton does seem to be one of the better
new universities (number 64 in the times online league tables)

The fact still remains that students of computing at Roehampton are
only required to get 200 UCAS points (thats a C and 2 D's at A level)

That'll be a D and two E's in 1970 O-Level terms then.
