The minimum stipend is going to go from £12,000 this year 05/06 to £12,300 next year 06/07. The smallest annual rise in years; a whole +£25 extra a month! Call me greedy, but I was hoping for more....

My stipend is much more than that anyway. So I don't care...

Hey Stu,

You are rich.

Did you buy your Porsche with the stipend money?

Do you eat fivers with your thesis?

Yeah mine is too so I don't care either. Although I'm getting less teaching than I thought I would grrrrrrrr. Maybe I'll sell my soul on Ebay ?

No Mia, I bought my ferrari with it, porsches are cheap and tacky

Wanna come for a drive one day? I know a good country side layby

Is that BBSRC that is only going up £300 next year?? I get more too, but we should all be concerned about our fellow students!!
