My AH projects are now finally out of my hands and will be given to the SQA tomorrow... now have a mixture of relief and fear that I'll look over them tonight and see that there's something appallingly wrong which I can't now fix. :frown: I might just delete them from my computer..

i think im going to stop going to physics after tomorrow till the exam. im doing a rather amusing int 2 (like a gcse?) so its not really necessary for me to be in the class but my teacher is so patronising :frown: . he makes this funny noise every time i ask him something that sounds like a cross btween a surprised donkey and annoying physics teacher. he also had the cheek to say to me th other day "i mean someone in the headmasters old school got into oxford...and his dad was a JOINER." I was like er my dad's a plumber and i got into cambridge-is that odd? and despite my quick and cutting reply (:wink: ) it made me feel a bit :frown: . *sigh* ach well at least i don't write int 2 phyiscs textbooks as a hobby (i kid u not).


:yy: for your witty response, I *always* think of them just as I've left :rolleyes:
He sounds terrible!
aye he is but i got my own back a bit on him today. he was talking about my doing adv english instead of maths and he goes "i mean i loved english...and i was very good at it" (previously told me he thought it was boring and didnt understand why i was doing it) "but i think the english we did is SLIGHTLY more advanced than the english you do" *smirk* "we did chaucer for example." me: "oh we do chaucer." him: "just the general prologue then?" *double smirk* me: "oh no the general prologue, pardoner's prologue, pardoner's tale, wife of bath's prologue and wife of bath's tale. and we did some dickens; bleak house and great expectations, and around 20 odd metaphysical poems." him: "oh. erm. right. so the general prologue! i still remember it! in april when the rain falls erm... ?" me: "i take it you mean "whan that aprill with his shoures soote" then?" ha ha get it right up ye. :smile: that made me feel much better.

James from Alleyn's. I don't think we spoke, I spent most of the evening drinking large amounts of alcohol with Timosha and Anna. You weren't the one who kissed Jamie Susskind were you? Scarlet's partner yes?

I do indeed know Tallulah. I realised it was you from saying you like debating and being from Wycombe and I remember there being Wycombe Abbey girls out after Durham. Knew you were Scarlett's partner as the tab lists you as such :p:

I am easily recognisable for rather long curly hair. I don't think I was in a fit state to accuse anyone of being really drunk so I don't *think* you should be embarrassed. One of the Wycombe girls kissed him full on in the club, he told me afterwards. You know Waldo? (what am I saying? Everyone seems to know Waldo!)
Reply 1810
nope wasn't me who full on kissed susskins. :eek:
i think he might have got it on with one of the girls in his year at my school maybe.. dunno though

that was quite a tenuous link, i'm impressed you picked up on it. did one of your teahers have sandy hair and glasses?

hmm i'm really sorry I can't seem to place you? but then if we didn't talk... that's not suprising!!

and yes, I vaguely know Waldo, although I wasn't one of his many groupies in the club. i was mainly with Steven, the guy who kinda took us all out...

Sandy hair and glasses? You mean Kato? He *was* my teacher but not anymore, he left my school last year. Steven was the guy who went to Durham and was touring us around the clubs yes? He told Tim and I to stop drinking after he saw us doing strawpedos. I don't think I spoke to you though I may have, had a fair amount to drink. My partner was the small guy dancing ridiculously.

Just realised one Jamie kissed was brunette so obviously wasn't you, haha. Waldo was claiming that all the Wycombe Abbey girls were good friends of his, heehee.
Reply 1812
well I think all the LVI girls were friends with Waldo, I was a bit out of it being the year above...

yes steven-durham and touring us round

the only reason I remember your teacher person is he was talking to some of our girls on the train

I'm sorry i don't remember you, but no I am not Jamie's brunette love interest being blonde

i feel quite sad, I like jamie he's fun, but I'm probs never gonna see him again what with me leaving school and no longer debating.... I'm gonna miss all the debating fun ya know :frown: :frown:

Yeah, he wandered up and down most of the train talking to people from different schools. I suggest joining the Cambridge Union or do you not want to debate anymore? You'd probably see Jamie again if you joined as I should imagine that Habs will make it to Cambridge Schools Finals Day next year. Durham was the best competition, mainly because there was more drinking than debating. In retrospect it was a bad idea for us to walk the North London Collegiate girls back to their accomodation, about 2 miles in wrong direction, bah!
Reply 1814
oh I'm hopefully gonna join camb union, I always planned to, its just the chances of me actually bumping into to everyone are slim. It sucks, the onething I regret about cambridge is its my least favourite debating comp. durham is immense, oxfords wicked, but cambridge is just plain sucky
