Subject: GCSE Results.

The school get enough bad press already, we did petitions, and stuff like that. Even attempted a strike, but then the police stepped in for that.

I suppose it'll help.

this topic should be closed as your qualifications are all rubbish compared to the great scottish ones.

/closed for being pointless ;)

I want to go back up to the good side of the border for university, but considering I live right on the south coast, I will find it tricky.

Police cant stop a strike can they? When we did ours, the school just shut for two days because they feared people from outside the school would come, which was pretty likely seeing as about 1,000 old boys had written letters to the paper and complained. It worked anyway. Got rid of the headmistress in march too and defeated the evil federation plans and saved the school song and stopped the school adding 10 minutes onto the timetable.

looking back, how on earth did they let us do all that? That was only the major stuff as well

correct. you will get a nose bleed after you pass the watford gap ;)

Well they are replacing the school motto, logo, school, hours, uniform...

Ugh.

ANd the police could issue spot fines for truancy, that meant my parents forced me to school, same with other friends of mine.

And @rtg, you should have heard the moaning when it was below 5 degrees with 2 inches of snow. I remember one time it was knee deep in Inverness and easily below -10, and a lot of people were out having snowball fights. Even a corner store was open.

we basically went to war over it.

For all of you guys that failed your exams miserably I would just like to know that I would like fries with that...

Nobody fails exams any more. But they are not getting easier. Oh no.

However, on the basis of this years Uni intakes, For the guys that got anything below A's in their A Levels, I would also like fries with that.

Looking at an old maths paper, it was a bit harder than the paper I did a year ago.

The final 5 mark question basically gave you the answer, then all you had to do was reverse engineer the workings.

3 over (equation) + 4 over (equation) = 1.

Obviously the equation at the bottom had to equal 7, easy to work it from there.

;-)

I found it very humorous that the boy Line Acre has been moaning about his nipper failing his exams at Charterhouse(!) because they are using the new better-than-A Level_replacement thingy, the Pre-U. Apparently it isn't his fault that he didn't pass them, it is the school's. The fact that the little oik spends his revision time at China Whites seems to have been glossed over by Our Gary...

Excerpt from the Pre-U exam for lineker jr...

"The blonde and the brunette at the bar both want a woo-woo, which costs 15 pounds.
You have 100 pounds of daddys' crisp-money in your wallet.
will you be able to get them both bladdered enough ? Discuss"

Tricky you see, as it combines elements of mathematics, psychology, and social biology.

If you also allow lateral thinking and business studies his answer would have been, "pay £25 for some flunitrazepam (he would probably put rohie or roofie) off the dodgy geezer in the snug, 30 folding for the ladies drinks and trouser the other 80 sovs."

still failing...

I bet he appears as a researcher in the end credits of MotD soon enough...

You can't fail exams anymore. They all finish in 2nd place these days.
