I don't mind mornings so long as no one talks to me, but posting doesn't count.

No, sadly, didn't get much sleep.
Every morning when I leave my apartment there's this security guard for the whole block who just loves talking to me. I always run away when I see him in the morning, but when I come back I have no problem chatting with him.

That's better than what I do. I sneak wait for him to turn his head, wait for the perfect moment and run towards my car :D

Do you have proof that this is anything more than a proposal?
I was informed of its existence by someone a while back when I was bitching at them about it being unfair that English students in scotland have to pay whereas scottish students in scotland don't.

It doesn't make much difference at the end of the day.

All the devolved nations have their own budget to spend in proportion to their populace. If scotland chooses to spend it on student tuition fees and england chooses to spend that money elsewhere, the money is still being spent. You are still contributing to tax for the rest of your life, you pay for it in the end no matter what. The student loan is just an excuse to charge you £12 a month for the rest of your life, you will never pay it off - unless you come into a large sum of money, even then, would you want to spend a largee sum of money to pay it off when you could just spend £12 a month?

Of course, but Scottish students do not pay directly to study in their own country. I won't get into the issue of stealth tax or accumulative tax as it becomes ambiguous. In fact it is most likely that EU students will end up paying for the rise in costs, rather than any form of graduate tax or tuition fees.
