Hmm...? They understood you would have been able to get 36 points if it just wouldn't have been for all that sport?

yes..specifically sport injury..they just understood that I would have gotten more points if i would have not been in pain and on painkillers during the three exam weeks :smile:

I only ever took 1 GCSE, then I moved. It looks really weird on my CV.

Oh, and maybe I should mention (for the benefit of applicants, possibly...?) that last year when I applied it was more like:

GCSEs: 8A*, 2A
AS Levels: aaaaaa (including general studies :redface:

)
Prediction: AAAAA (I imagine, including general studies. :redface:

not sure about the AS I picked up though, as I'd never done it before!)
Offer: AAA (English and any 2 out of Music, Maths and History)

EDIT: 1 GCSE? Ha ha, why did you take one? Don't most people take them all at once? Presumably you have other qualifications to make it seem less strange...

I took spanish GCSE one year early and moved to Luxembourg the following year and did the European Baccalaureate. As such, we don't actually have GCSE's or equivalent in central europe.

In a way, it might look good, because it'll fill up the page with qualifications more in your CV! :biggrin:

I suppose so. However it also looks like I dropped out. I've been asked that by employers before.

show off

I'm sorry

I'm a show-off, but I'm still winning!

However, I am strangely jealous of Christo's tiddlywink championage! Though I did come runner up in the doubles tourny in Chelmsford for badminton! Hurrah.

I suck.

I used to go to chess club, AND I'm rubbish at it!

I suck more!

I turned to fly fishing buy my parents made me stop when I came back with an interesting looking earing, 3 pairs of sunglasses, a hat, a finger and an eyelid.

Reply 56

Jelkin

I have two eyelids and several fingers - I'm surprised my parents don't throw me out....

EDIT: hang on, did you CATCH those things? Are you sure it was an eyelid? how could you tell? It may have been skin off my toe from last year's summer holiday...that was a bad one.

I hope you guys come to meetups, we could have some hella good times. Caught an eyelid, that's one of the most hillarious things I've ever heard.

I'll come! Me! Pick me!

Fabtastic. It's not by invitation, though we may have to start becoming selective!! I think we had the best ever year for TSR Durhamites given our forum activity and our meetups - but that's because were all very cool people. Shame we lost some regulars after summer though, as no doubt will happen this year too.

First meetup will prob be toward last 2 weeks of term one, officially anywho. Give us all time to settle down and whatnot.. but we kinda just set **** up on here and everyone sticks their thumbs up and says...

ehhhhhhh!
