When was that a rule of thumb? I thought it was only in the spamzone...
Meh.
David Cat, are you Canadian?

Topics are and always have been allowed to drift off their original topic as long as they stay broadly within the scope of the forum they're in. Many of the threads in the on topic forums aren't talking about what they started of as any more, but it's not a problem if they're still discussing stuff about the books or otherwise relevant things. Same goes for here - threads are allowed to drift off their original topics, just not devolve into mindless spam. That's what the spamzone is for.

Certainly not. I am British.

Damn. I was hoping to invite you to our Canada club. :P

Back on topic-
Destroy the damn time machine.

Poor Dansariki...

Oh and thanks Sent.

Why poor me?

Everyone just ignored you. :D

Ah.
Right.
Destroy the machine before it is built.

Even with a time machine, I don't see how that is actually possible. Well... I suppose you could bring it back to before it was made and then destroy it, but I don't see the point in that.

I changed my mind. I would just do my life over again.

Bad idea.

REALLY Bad idea.

Nice to know someone concurs.

Meh, still wish I could. :P

Here's why that statement is unitentionally stupid.
All the good in your life- kiss most (likely all) of it goodbye.
What you do like: where you are, who you know, who you've met. Say ciao and wave good bye.
Say Auf Wiedersehen to some of the very parts of your psyche. We become who we are partly through our interations with others.
Au Revoir to other things as well.

That's a pretty good point actually... ^o)

well, if you are going to redo your life you have already met those people and will have memories of them so you arent losing anything. you are just gaining new stuff.

BUt you wouldn't be able to remember every single little decision, and you'd be surprised how much something can change from something so seemingly minor.
And thank you, kitty.

yes. i know that. guess it depends on what someone means by redoing their life. personally i would want to do something different or there is no point in going back and doing that.

Out of interest, if it's not too personal, what would everyone like to go back and change?

The UK's rules on financial support for overseas university students.

Other than that, nothing. I am the sum of my experiences up to this point and changing anything would change that, probably unrecognisably.

What are the UK's rules on financial support for overseas university students?

If you're not from an EU country you don't get any.
