I want to work on an offshore oil or gas platform, which degree should I study?
After graduation I wish to work on an oil or gas platform, preferably offshore. I am in my first year of a 4 year Engineering and Technology degree in which we specialise in year two. I'm not sure which route would be best for me? Petroleum Engineering or Mechanical Engineering? Thanks.
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment8 years agoWhich language would be my best choice?
Next year I'll be studying Engineering and Technology at university, and there is an option of a foreign language module. The options are "Most European languages, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin & Cantonese". I already speak English fluently (As I hope you can tell!) and have a reasonable grasp of French. But with a career in Engineering I was thinking German might be the way to go, with firms like BMW having a manufacturing plant damn near my doorstep in Oxford. Mandarin is also an obvious choice. What do you guys think?

7 AnswersEtiquette9 years agoGIRLS... I've been told I look like one of the beatles, is that good?
Should I take it as a compliment or an insult? I'm sure it was a compliment in the 60s, but just seems a bit grandad now. :/
4 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoI've been talking to this girl for a while...?
She's 17 and I'm 18. She hasn't much experience with guys and is still a virgin. We're both quite outgoing, with a wde group of friends and we're usually up to something (sometimes together, sometimes not) We met through mutual friends and got along well. Things were going swimmingly; she was giving me all the signals, her friends hinted that she likes me etc... I asked her out for a coffee yesterday (nothing heavy, just to hang out really) and she said she was busy with her friend, who I also know, which was no big deal. Anyway, I logged onto twitter the earlier when she was supposedly busy and noticed that her pal, who she was apparantly with, had been tweeting all day about how bored she is and she has work in a minute etc. Now the girl texts me as normal as you like after not speaking since last night (pretending to be busy I suppose?) I might just not reply, because I can be a b*tch too, right? So should I carry on as normal, nice as pie... or do I cut her off? Suggestions please!!!

4 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style1 decade agoI'm getting a fake ID to get into clubs with my friends...?
They're all a little older than me and I'm nearly 18 anyway! My fake ID will be a driving licence but I'd never use it to drive a car! My question is, could I be charged with showing false documentation to a doorman at a club, or does that law only apply if I were to try it with an officer of the law?

9 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoI can't stop thinking about this girl...?
I've added her on facebook and sent a private message asking if she wanted to meet up sometime, but she's not been online recently so hasn't seen it!
It's driving me mad because we really hit it of and she seemed really keen, but i forgot to take her number! How can i get her off my mind until she responds because i don't want to come across as desperate?
I know it does seem it but she was SOO perfect!
