Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

help please

Hello Mr Shagger

You forgot to mention that:

You have more chance of being mugged for your 5 quid replica rolex than anywhere else.

The cost of any reasonable accomodation is beyond anyones wildest dreams.

The alternative of living in the outer regions means commuting in - roll up for a sniff of the worlds armpit.

Otherwise its great - says I from the leafy regions of Suffolk.

Best regards

Mike Testro

Ps Please don’t get parranoid if you think I may be shadowing your entries - I will soon get bored of it.

PPs Just because you are paranoid it doesnt mean they are not out to get you.

hi mr nadeem, good day

your Q:
A------------ I got option of Further educationin in 2 Universities.
1-MSc Project Management Reading University School of Construction Management.
2- MSc Construction Management City University London

my answer:
no.2 because (i)there re more fish n chip shops in london than the rest of UK, (ii) there’re more kebab shops in london than in the whole egypt (iii) you will realise that it is safe to sit at top upperdecker bus even theres no driver up there (iv) you will keep on hearing "Mind the Gap" even after you leave UK


hempfully,

Hi Nadeem,

I don’t know whether this is going to be in time to be any use to you, but the best idea is probably to look at the detailed syllabus for each course and choose the one you think will be most useful. Having said that, you’ll probably find that both courses have their strengths and weaknesses, so go for the one you think you’ll enjoy most.

Dear Nadeem,

I don’t think that there is a difference between Planning Engineer & Planner. But ofcourse there is a difference between a scheduler & planner.

Regarding the two options you mentioned above for education, I already contacted reading university for the same course for me & I found it great but I don’t have information about the city university.

Best Regards,
