As a reference point and to let everybody on the forum become familiar with everyone elses screenname and perhaps personality, can we all please look at the following template I will complete, and then copy and complete the template for themselves, thus we will encourage the new members to post, who have screennames I have no idea about.

Perhaps you can be the first nominee for this year's 'Jammiest Bastard' award. Although in light of recent events perhaps we should change it's name to 'Jammiest Fellow' or 'Luckiest Chap'. |

CDL ie my Career Development Loan, the biggest gamble I've ever taken. £8k would have been totally down the pan, if I hadn't got a job in the stupidly tough to get in field as a trainee actuary. Then I'd have wasted a year of my life and £8k (all my own liability) for no reason and be no higher qualified. Bit of pressure!! |
