    The light in my bathroom stopped working last week. The bulb required is quite hard to come by. I had to order it online. It arrived this morning. Today I had my first shower with the light on in a very long time, and had a dump with the door closed.
    Made me smile.

    British government cheekily demands massive university tuition fees to foreign students.
    They could've introduced tuition fees in 70s.
    Post Thatcher Tory government made a fatal mistake that they converted polytechnics to universities in early 90s.

    They finally realised in mid 90s after the financial crisis in the Asian market, they had to introduce university tuition fees to home students.

    Cheeky is one word for it, I suppose.
    The parents of UK national-students will have paid taxes that helped pay for UK universities - the parents of foreign students didn't. It's only fair to ask foreign students to pay a bit extra. It works out roughly the same in the long run.

    I agree with you. Since I'm from sweden that makes me foreign. But I think that since british citizens are allowed to study for free in sweden (which a lot also do!) which me and also my parents have paid for I think I should be entitled to some discount when I study here in the uk.

    Sweden is entitled to ask UK students who study there to pay extra. In fact, they should do it. You can't just bargain with taxpayers money - "we study there for free, so you can do the same here". It just doesn't work that way. Everyone is entitled to study where they want, so long as everyone on that course has (directly or indirectly) contributed roughly the same amount to that university.

    Your arse is very far away from your nose for a reason. The two should never come into contact, unless it is some sort of sexually intricate manoeuvre. Plus, if I accidentally got a bit of shite on the end of my nose I'd be wiping away for days.

    It has been done to encourage exchange students. The reason is that everyone benefit from exchange students and it makes reasearch more dynamic, which benefits the university, academics, students and also the society. And it's a really good idea as long as both the countries involved use the same academic system, which the uk and sweden (and most of europe) today do.

    I don't know other countries, but in Japan foreign students pay the same tuition fees as home students.
    No discrimation at all.

    EU students get discount.

    Seems fine in theory, but the uni I was at had loads of chinese folk who paid the same fees as me and then fucked off back to the orient. But that was about 5 years ago now, maybe it has changed since then. So long as both countries benefit equally from it it's fine, but that isn't always the case. Brits, Irish, Europeans, Orientals and Africans should pay the overall same amount no matter what uni they study at.

    (I didn't include americans because everyone else hates american students. Too loud and can't hold their drink. America is the best place for them)

    We have a bathroom window but put a lamp on the counter for ambiance. Did you think of doing that for practical wiping purposes? I realize the problem is solved and you have a light now but for next time. Stick a lamp on the counter.
