My name is Ashley (the male version), my girlfriend is called Jessica and my Mum is Lisa. We were all born when our names were dominant too. Bloody American influence!
Just finished watching the 5th and final season of The Wire. Started watching it from the beginning about 2 months ago (after seeing some very good reviews on here) and got totally hooked. Up there with Breaking Bad as one of the best TV series I have ever watched.
I'm sad it's all over really....
I did a FdSc course in Outdoor Education when I was 23, it was good, there was a decent mix of ages.
I would definitely look into grants though, as a mature student you are (or were) entitled to maintenance and tuition fee grants.
