@mariner4life Now that you can definitely lay down at Phil Goff's door. The original plan was for student loans to be offered by the banks. When the banks got scared off the government just started their own scheme. But Phil Goff, Trevor Mallard and Roger Douglas were circle-jerking about their cunning plan to make the Mariners pay retrospectively for my education and my drinking habit. For which, thanks, by the way.

@dogmeat @JC Your era sucks, all your protesting and we wound up with fees and compounding interest student loans. We'd have been better off if you'd just gone straight to the pub.
Meanwhile our era fought back and got the compounding interest removed, then the interest removed (wouldn't have happened if the banks controlled student loans).
Not that I did anything to contribute to that fight myself.

Uni was fucking great. No regrets, despite a couple of things with hindsight i could have done a bit better. Played footy, worked in pubs, bit of study, met my best mates in the world.
good times good times.

@nepia It was my generation that removed the compound interest and then the interest.
We didn't give a fuck about you lot but it bribed your parents and allowed us to continue to go to a more refined class of drinking establishment.
Cindy Moonbeam's the first of your generation to hold the reins.....

Yeah, but we were beeauuutiful doing it. Our cause was true, our wrath was righteous and our clothes were hilarious.
And our soundtrack was The Clash. Your's was Nickelback.

Do you mean your generation as in the ones who got the free ride, came to power, gave us compound interest - then eventually removed it? Or are you younger than what I thought?
Who is Cindy Moonbeam?

how fucking young do you think we are?
Note i didn't say mature, i said young.

I think RHCP, Pearl Jam or RATM might be more our generation! Ah, compounding interest loan. Calculated daily, charged monthly!!
-
@paekakboyz Don't even get me started on that 8.5% clusterfuck of compounding interest that started from the minute you rung up. I borrowed 30k and ended up paying back 42k.

I bring up Anikas huge fun bags and you guys prefer taking about old age, finances and shit.
Just shows unattractive she really is.. -

I'm surprised no one is talking about the latest addition to this season of Dancing with the stars. Hot Suzy Cato.
I know. It's not words you would think to put together. But she is looking FINE for 49. And the glasses. Think blonde MILF librarian porn.
And yet you didn't have the courtesy to post a pic. For shame

Way way back in the day I used to work at our local Woolworths, Suzy has a sister called Debbie. She worked there for a bit learning to be a manager.
Won’t say too much but she had a nickname, similar to an old classic adult movie with Dallas in the title..
And yes she was pretty fucken hot.. -
