I'm wearing a Tyrion t-shirt as I speak (type?). Me and my friends all got ones in anticipation of weekly epic GoT Season 4 nights. I'm virtually squeeing with excitement.
Jesus motherfucking Christ.
In response to the thread: you'd have to be mad not to love that adorably murderous not-so-wee guy. :3

But them kilts. Unnf
Being an Englishman living in Scotland (I consider myself British, as I was born in England but have lived in Scotland for longer, but my accent means others kinda forcibly identify me as "English"), I've never worn a kilt. Thinking about surprising everyone by wearing one to prom, though. Plus, protip: only certain people suit kilts, and unfortunately at least half of those that wear them really don't.
Negative sides of Scotland #1: Always chilly, grey, rainy and windy, but rarely snowy enough so (in the cities) that we almos never get days off. Ugh.

Great advice if you want your resentful children to dump your withered corpse in an unmarked grave.
[2]. That's literally the worst advice I've ever heard, I think.
As for everyone else - firstly, thank you for all taking the time and making the effort to reply in such detail. I've been reading the replies, so know I'm not ignoring you guys - I've just been working past 2am almost every day for the past week, so I haven't had as much time to reply and such. I will get back soon. Thanks guys!
Calm it there, Michael Bay.
This is a somewhat odd request, but Spam, I need your help getting perspective.
I'm 17. I have no real concept of large sums of money, and my parents are terrible examples of good financial policy. I can learn through the experiences of others, though.
As I mentioned a while back, I got into Imperial College London. It's one of the best unis in the world, and I'm super fucking chuffed. I'd go there without question, but for one issue: holy shit, moneyz. I'd be leaving with something like 50000 GBP worth of debt (around $83000), minimum.
Or I could go to St. Andrews (3rd oldest uni in the world, where Prince William and Kate went, etc. etc.) or Edinburgh (top-20 in the world uni), and leave with virtually no debt by comparison.
Now, Imperial outclasses those institutions, by a wide margin, and there's virtually no better place for me to kickstart my career in academia. But I need to get some more perspective on how much money that is, more than just "a lot", so I can see if it's worth it. If you guys can offer any advice or any way for me to get a grip on this, as a bunch of adulty people, I'd appreciate it. If not, well, derail the thread as you guys always do!

B...but, I'm speshul
Congratulations, you've been selected as Spam's new pinata! There has been a lot of stiff competition for the role recently, so you should be very proud of your appointment.
