The first one is thanks to Eduardo, who is experimenting with making up his own idioms, including rustling gazebos. Don't ask.

The second one is apparently referring to the Greek crisis, although I can't be sure. :tongue:

Are you applying for LMH, then? Were there lots of cute guys there? :colone:

Your predicteds are good, and if you're really passionate about the subject, then why not? :smile:

I'm applying, and my IGCSEs are worse than yours, not to mention the IB predicteds I'm about to be burdened with :frown:

. If I can be stupidly optimistic, why can't you? (Not that it would be stupidly optimistic with your A-Level predictions, but you get my point)

PPE like yourself.
In my case I just went all out for my choices, if I fail at all 5 I can get into uni in Spain fairly easily and if that doesn't suit there's always the States (I have a knack for impressing Americans).

It was this very philosophy that led me to try stand-up comedy a few months ago.

The bar snack residue which I still find on my shirt has led me to question the wisdom of it tbh. :biggrin:

In my experience nightlife quality depends a lot more on who you're with than where you are, and one of the main reasons I'm applying to Oxford is the high esteem in which I hold my potential peers.
