I was given an award by my school for my sexual stamina... I ****** your mum 10 times in one night - ******* impressive I'd say!

Especially as she ain't the best looking, eh?

Meh, I would say but I'll probably just sound really stuck up.

Or of course like, any job which involves historical study of the viking period of history? It won't just be "oh the vikings were in long boats and raped people ", they do it at UCL too and ASNC at Cambridge is similar.

that is seriously cool.

generally i would disagree with the people laughing at the qualifications for people with learning problems etc because to them making a cup of tea is an achievement worth celebrating, so they should have that recognized.

but having said that someone in my family has finished school and gone to college doing a course which is just playing football and mucking around with the other gooners on his course and which is not actually going to be worth the paper its written on when he finishes it, which is a good competitor for most pointless qualification (especially as he doesn't even want to do it)
