adaobi123: I've been okay, thanks. How are you ? What's Portsmouth saying ?

I'm going to a department open day on Wednesday.

For me, its been great... Tomorrow for the open day, what was the department again?
BTW, Portsmouth aint saying anything except for the exam cloud on and around campus... Have fun then

adaobi123: check it out

Sure, I strongly recommend that....

Sky-walker:
If you have that mindset,its going to be hard for you to get a job.There are jobs but not a lot of graduate jobs. Depends on your skills

Boss, its been quite a long time. I arrived Portsmouth about 3 months ago and still peeping for jobs ooo....

adaobi123: good courses.

have you tried Portsmouth ? I heard they are good.......

I agree with her on this. Mechanical engineering in Portsmouth Uni is excellent...

@Adaobi; How have you been? Did you have the opportunity to visit Portsmouth Uni for the Open day? It was started today and dont really know how long it will last..

FutureDon: @peteafrik88

Bros, you don dey enjoy the weather now abi? no more complain oo

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! No b small ooo and I always feel like sitting under thw sun of Portsmouth, all through the day...

dannywest: GT naira mastercard, that day I tried 800 but they refused, but 600 went through

600 is the maximum I think which is equivalent to 150k.....

dannywest: Ivnt had issues with my account since aso you shouldnt. For the flight ticket, get one that allows you to change date, then you can always edit and extend the return date.

This is the best answer to the airline stuff.... Just like an open dated ticket

dannywest: Ive withdrawn 600 on lloyds, I think it depends on the ATM.

Wow, which bank ATM do you use

Dis Guy: depends on your bank and account type its generally £250-£400 daily

The limit for Lloyds bank is 400

fiscalcliff: Thanks for the reply pete about the withdrawal limits
I take it you are drawing funds from your Nigerian account though you are in the UK as our Nigerian banks now encourage us to do that
Yet doesn't it have drawbacks e.g. having issues with your account that you wont be able to withdraw like you said in your post?
Also please do share your thoughts on my other question
Where are you in UK BTW?

[size=15pt]USEFUL INSIGHTS BY OTHERS IS APPRECIATED TOO[/size]

Yes, I am drawing from my 9ja account, and banks are encouraging us cos of the xtra charge. For me I dont think there are drawbacks unless one uses it for fraud.... The best is withdraw and put it in your UK account.
I am in Portsmouth and for the other question, I dont rili know about the airline games. When I was coming, I just bought a 1 way ticket

fiscalcliff: Morning thread contributors who spit insight by their replies,
1]What is the maximum amount per transaction from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 20-40k depending on the bank]?
What is the total daily transaction I can take from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 150k]?


2]Also how long can a return ticket stay valid for?
Most airline/travel agents websites grey off their calendars after about 6 months and I should be in the UK for about 16 months
Is it worth it, buying a return ticket or should I just settle for one way straight up?

Thanks for the replies

For the ATM question, you are only allowed one withdrawal a day with an international card not exceeding b/w 400 - 600 GBP daily. I use GTBank master card on sainsbury's ATM and take up to 600 GBP while on Lloyd's it is 400 max. Barclays has refused to pay my card even on POS, i cant use my card anymore.

worldnews: Pls bros...pardon me for too much questions: okay I agree since it will take 3weeks to process and am applying for STUDENT VISITOR VISA which is pretty easy... But my question is this, if I transfer the funds to my account and am NOT working, hope this will not affect my application?

Capital NOPE...

FutureDon: You got tired of your heavy jackets abi, hehehe

My shouldas are kinda getting bigger nw from wearing em...

adaobi123: When the summer comes you'll start complaining

adaobi123: I get rejected from jobs too, just keep on trying, don't worry.
The volunteering job is good, its good to have on a CV

Thanx. Do you work there ATM

adaobi123: Find a job in sainsburys or tesco's

Dear, tried those and they keep turning me down.... Went for interview in one saunsburys in Farlington, Portsmouth and they replied with.... I have not been lucky to get an interview with Tesco though and I hope I will soon. Taken up a volunteer gardening role to boost my chances as they once told me in McDonalds... I have been wondering what the problem could be

But on a serious note, its time I get something doing cos I am tired of this idleness... Any tip?
Care job is actually my last option though

ochukoccna: No way bro
Na to jam better hustle
Hope say the cold and snow go clear soon
After all , na spring una suppose dey nah!

Better hustle no b small.... Well the spring, I dont even know how it looks like. But it has been one leg in the windy so called spring, the other other leg still in the cold winter. Wind that could lift a man off the ground plus cold and its annoying... God dey sha, we are here now and will tell good stories....

ochukoccna: Hmnn
Typical Naija man
Who wan die nah?!

I tire oooo... After all this hustle, I come turn scape goat

adaobi123: lool the college i attend. drug testers normally aim at uni students because uni students are normally seen as broke and they will do anything for a bit of extra money, without noticing the risk of doing a drug trial.
just be careful

Thank you jooooo...... I have cancelled the plan. Aint interested any longer

FutureDon: Errmmn, personally I don't see myself signing up for any drug-testing related study, apologies to the Pharmacologists. My research is actually a brain imaging study, you won't be able to participate Sir, as I'm recruiting people with a particular brain disorder. I'm assuming you don't have it

Yes, I dont have any at all

adaobi123: thats why my college said we should not do them due to the fact that it may not end well

Which college is that? Una don dey make me fear.

FutureDon: I think it basically involves signing up to take part in clinically oriented experiments. For instance, I'm currently recruiting participants for my study, and they get compensated with some money (from Uni's pocket) for their time.

If you dont mind, what is the pay to be a part in your research and the requirements. I am interested, maybe your can recruit me. I am available and in good health condition.
