I know HTTP download is generally quite safe, but it's a hassle looking for downloads like that since it's almost extinct.
Would be very very sad if I don't get to use PPS. =(
Thanks anyway.

not really. there r many websites hosting all these links n files. the one i used i can get almost anything torrentz websites have. but yea...this is gettin out of topic. ahaha

i dont think its out of topic, as wat u all r discussing are also info for those who going to study in UK plus those who r already there ... as for me, u all had geared me up for alot of occasion, better to be prepared than last min ..

Working part time normally doesnt require any application of National Insurance, but for some employer, they will need you to apply for it.

ANother one thing that I would like to share is for those who is coming over, best is dont stay in all the time for pps. You might regret by the time you go back as you should spend more time exploring the local places, meeting new people and stuff.

Many of my friends came, sticked together all the time and pps most of their free time. After 1 year completion of their degree, it's time to back and I am wondering if how they would discribe when people ask them how's England like ..

For those who is coming for more than 1 year study, i would recommend to apply for internship which they call it work placement in here, it can be 3 months contract or up to 12 months. It is really a good experience where you will get involved in many new things and stuff which will strongly benefit your future career.

so u r saying some of ur friends actually stay in n pps most of the time away?

it's a p2p program, and i thought p2p isn't allowed?
in my T&C it's frowned upon, and if i'm caught using it i'll get banned or something.



Not gonna pps whole day la, but I gotta keep track of some shows I'm following. :3
of course i want to tour England! not gonna stay in the room whole day (even though i paid for it)

btw, pps is actually daily dose of most females xD (& my brother, who has nothing to do after work~)

Added on September 12, 2010, 8:14 pmyou will have to apply via phone. Call Job centre plus and you will be asked a few questions , then expect a few weeks time for the process and they will deliver the NI (national insurance) card for you.
