You might be lucky ;D

As for the course, well done mate, I've heard Loughborough is a demanding place :o

Mechanical engineering huh?  You are learning where to put the "X" huh? :D

Might help your portfolio if you designed the new Leatherman for that contest they are running!  :grin:

You need a new light huh... well Fenix is nice, and since you are in University, it would allow you to save some money to go out and tip a few pints too, so it sounds like a winner to me!

Cheers! Yeah lboro isn't the easiest place to please, but only got another year to go now!
As for designing the leatherman, i've tried to think of different ideas but it all tends to turn into a bog standard leatherman but with different tools (and flickout pliers...would that be copyright infringement??)

Yeah Fenix does seem to be one of the best bang per buck companies around, we'll see what happens but we're going out for a meal tonight so i doubt i'll be getting any money!

Spend the amount of money on beer as you would on a new toy.  You'll sure forget about the tool at least for a few hours.  Then you will wake up and kick yourself. :)

Don't worry no offense taken! I'm not actually a big drinker so my beer budget isnt that high (can't afford to be what with buying all these multitools!)

I'm in a Radiology Tech course. It's two years and then I'll be a Rad-Tech or a few other options. Right now I'm hoping to eventually specialize in MRI or Nuclear Medicine, whichever looks better at the time...

Nuclear Medicine
That sounds like fun!!

HAHA, yeah, but its going to be a lot of rules, and double checking that you're doing it all perfect and the like. I haven't really seen what the day-in day-out would look like, so I really have no idea. It's suposedly good money though, I read once it's the best job you can have without a bachlors degree :)

Look at it like this.  From a legal standpoint it is the only way you'll ever get to "nuke" anyone. :)
