student used to be entitled to 30kg, but I think recently they tried to change that, though it should still be alright if u pack in 30kg....

for online shopper, try looking into this site

www.quidco.com

lots of rebates/extra discounts there

u could apply to O2 online but y would u want to do that b4 u get here and get an address first? O2 online works with 08** number as well as far as I'm concern....

only some phone company require the 3 yrs thing.... O2 and Voda is fine I think, just need to do credit check through a credit card or something

hand carry luggage are being check like crazy now since the recent 'plot'... it will be at least a few months before things will ease off or it might just be that way for a few years even.....

Boxing day sale on the 26th (most shops) or 27th.... most of the things will be 50% off especially in NEXT, storewide 50% off....

What do u want to know about southampton uni? Dunno much about actuarial studies there but I can try to help on other things... pm me if needed

That is not true.... most airport have such rules now but it depends on how strict the airport is.... Changi airport have this 1 hand luggage rules as well..... KLIA suppose to have this, but they seems to be clamping down on 100ml fluids only at the moment....

If u have a landline to use, then there is lots of cheap access line 0844 number that u could call... both landlines and mobile call to Malaysia is only 0.5p per minute if ur landline is from BT

O2 used to be able to call 0844/5 number for free on its included minutes, but that is no more the case now...

I think the bank system just changed recently to charge foreign students account as too many frauds going round.... could be wrong though

Lots of ppl in Bristol.... anyone happens to come to Bath, give me a shout

provisional license are not accepted as prove of age....

university ranking? These rankings always makes me wonder.... they take into account the size of the university, the amount of courses they offer, the new facility built in this one particular year etc..... How reliable are they? They can only be taken in with a grain of salt....

some Uni might have a high ranking this year when one apply.... but because of not having new facilities and things, their ranking dropped over the course of 3 years when one is studying there. Does that means the education they are getting are worst than when they apply?

is there many msian student in Plymouth University?

no one knows anyone who is studying in Plymouth University?

hm.... I'm already using my fan in my room now... haahaa... it feels hot already to me You will get use to the weather eventually.... get a good duvet. those 10.5+4.5 tog ones will be good so u can interchange through the 4 seasons....

heating fans are good.... But I think they are too noisy.... Electrical powered portable radiator type might be better... cost more of course, but give u nice quiet night

Well... if he really struggles to find a job in soton, he could always commute to London. Might cost a little on the travelling part but a train to London from soton takes just about an hour into Waterloo station. So its not too bad. For you to come all the way to UK to study, I think the most important thing is to actually get urself into the best uni for your course. Then again, quite often spouse affect such decision btw, what visa status would he be coming to UK as?

Added on May 29, 2008, 8:03 pmo... for saving money... try using those online cashback sites if you regularly buy things online. the best one would be www.quidco.com but they charge an annual fee of £5, if you earn more than that. I think www.topcashback.com (might need to google for this one as I can't remember the proper URL) is free, but the amount they giveback is not that high. There is a cashbackchecker on moneysavingexpert website so u know where to get the most for cashback. I had about £250 cashback last 2 years £50 cashback everytime for car insurance is good especially when you have no NCD and those really cheap insurance company would not have a good deal for you yet
