Mr_Deeds

I've just had a massive clear out of all the spam in this thread; it's something which I've noticed for some time as needing to be done. If you're going to post here please do so using the format alluded to by the OP and if you want to discuss anything with another member then please use the PM function. This thread is pretty valuable as a resource to people worried about their exams results, etc. and for that reason alone it would be really cool to keep everything on-topic. :smile:
