so literary....word by word it mean..."get lost"...heheehhe...

This university ranks 70/119 in the guadian uk universities league table for 2013. Its not a top university but then again, its british.

Some of the British universities are coming or already in Asia having campuses here. eg. Nottingham in Malaysia and China. and Reading has a campus in Malaysia too. Overall its good for Asian students cos they pay cheaper fee and other costs compare to the uk.

True, but what do they actually get? Lectures in English are useful, but they can already do this at ABAC, SASIN etc

To my mind (and I see a lot of CVs and interview a lot of people in my line of work) the advantages of studying abroad are much greater than simply having a better education in the classroom than at a Thai university - which anyway isn't necessarily the case.

Two things inparticular:

Living in a foreign environment and realising that the preconceived notions that come with growing up in Thailand are not necessarily the be all and end all.

Using English day in day out for every small thing until you are able to comfortably converse and do business in English

I don't see that going to a foreign branded university here will answer either point any more than wearing a Man United shirt will make you Wayne Rooney.

Industries still look at foreign degrees eg. British degrees highly compare with local degrees except for 1 or 2 universities locally. The universities do have exchange program so students can get to go the main universities on their final one or two years. Students have the options to choose either to study locally the whole duration or otherwise.

I have never heard of The University of Central Lancashire and I was brought up in Lancashire.

I believe UCLan was once called Preston Polytechnic

I wish they had mentioned that in the article. I would have laughed even more.

Just a re-brand PolyTechnic. I don't think it is a famous school.

Thailand has famous names like Shrewsbury, Hallow, etc. I think Eton & Westminster could be next, as Farang teacher are dying to teach Thailand (especially females) student sitting in front row.

In the 70s, there were the universities, the polytechnics and the colleges of higher education and technology. The polytechnics were having undergraduate and postgraduate courses like those being offered by the universities too except that their entry requirements are lower. As of today, the polytechnics are upgraded to universities status. The top ranking universities are still those established old universities all this while and those "new" universities ex.politechnics are second liners and are competing again each other moving up the league. Some have done quite well.

Generally speaking, all these conditions will need a lifetime to build up...to have them in 2 years you might as well ask her to fly kite...

lets stop all this discrimation. as long as she is qualified, capable and attractive..i will take her (him).

Incredible jump or pushed. not a lot survived in this height.

hope she survived to tell the truth.

This sums it all up!

People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation..

People born between 1946 and 1959 are called The Baby Boomers.

People born between 1960 and 1979 are called Generation X, .

And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation Y ,

Why do we call the last group Generation Y?

Y should I get a job?

Y should I leave home and find my own place?

Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?

Y should I clean my room?

Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?

Y should I buy any food?

It's too bad Arnold Schwarzenegger had this little misunderstanding because English isn't his native language.

He told Maria that their housekeeper wanted a raise.

Maria said, "Screw her."... and the rest is history !!!

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is

a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, 'Who are you, so that I may know

whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?*

The guy replies, 'I'm Bill, retired Qantas Airlines Pilot from Sydney '.

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the pilot, 'Take this

silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.' The pilot goes into

Heaven with his robe and staff.

Next, it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, 'I am Father

Bob, pastor of Saint Mary's in Pasadena for the last 43 years.'

Saint Peter consults his list. Saint Peter says to the priest, 'Take this

cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom'.

'Just a minute,' says the good father. 'That man was a pilot and he gets a

silken robe and golden staff and I get only cotton and wood. How can

this be?'

'Up here - we are results oriented,' says Saint Peter. 'When you preached

- people slept. When he flew, people prayed.'

Came in to Sandakan, Sabah for two days already to be met by landslides in lots of places. Rain has kind of settled a bit but sky is dark with clouds.

I left Heathrow on the 17/12 (Fri) morning for spore. While inside the Spore airline A380, i heard machines noise di-icing our plane. Parked next to our plane was another A380 belonging to Qantas, maybe leaving for Spore on that day too. We were considered lucky to have left that day. One day later, we would had stucked there. Heathrow was virtually closed for flights coming in and leaving.

Dont you think the Customs should also check if duties were paid for those imports?

Just reading the heading at first i thought it was some triad head nicknamed black panther. ohh..its just an animal.

relationship turned sour and with her order, your are blacklisted.not likely...or maybe she got real connection at immigration or the home office...

Its scary to even go near water heater for shower or kettle not knowing that it has a safety standard and wiring are being properly grounded and properly insulated again water sip in. A qualified and trustworty electrician will be able to assure you peace of mind for your home. But what about public places like a hotel bathroom? hmmmm..

We would rather have George dresses up like Santa and do the real pole dance, what do you all think?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I pity the checkin clerk and his supervisor who gonna be facing a hard time in this investigation and maybe eventually be sacked. But he is the boss. What would you do if you were in their position?

For the record, it's not a jet (see photos).

All the news agencies had to do was Google ATR 72.

Maswings, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines is replacing all its aged Fokker50 to that of ATR-72, the one that we see now. I believe this is a modern twin-turboprop aircraft that can take 70 passengers.

Should the police be rewarded for hard work and not being corrupted, yes i think so. taking into consideration that their paid is low. Fine rewards may not sound nice...but its a bonus to them for work well done provided they do it professionally. If a inspector solved lots of crimal cases, he will be promoted one day..so its the same...hard work and work hard..

During big events like concerts or sports or even rushing home for festivals using public transporatations, the rules will be brokened. Overpacked and overloading expecially are very true in Asian countries. I am not a safety expert but i usually think of it when ever i am in such a situation. Where is the escape route!! What if? What am i going to do if? Its always sad to see these things happened. I hope those experts learned and make these places safer and the authorities enforce the regulations strictly. very sad.

Dont joke about the Royalty, religion, or looking down on them and country. And thats about it generally.

Just ask her. Relationship is based on trust. There are 1000 of reasons why a person switch off the phone. There is no right answer to this question. And you are only assuming she maybe unfaithful. Have time off and stay with her longer to understand her.

In the ticket that i hold, The words tax/fee/charge that is stated in the ticket maybe mislending. The amount print there Its not tax that go to the government. Its airport tax, Its the charge that imposed to passengers using the airport. The money goes to the Airport Authority and not the government.

Airport tax is refundable. The airline pay the airport based on the number of passenges going on board their plane. Fuel surcharge maybe not refundable. Even though you purchase a seat and if you dont travel the plane still have to fly. They make more money if they are able to sell your seat last minute. In most cases they cant sell it unless there is a full load with waiting list.

The thing i dont like about budget airline is their prices are misleading. They advertise at low low price (big sign) but there are lots of added costs...eg. fuel surcharge...

Law should be put up to get airlines to show only net price.
