That wasn't me.


Immature whoever it was :tongue: With stress and anxiety running so high on this thread, I think it's wise to be careful is all...

Bernadette is one of the few new characters I can stand. What upsets me is that, at the start, the show was geared to have jokes for nerds; jokes about trigonometric functions, calculus and actual Physics. These have been slowly phased out and the show has turned into jokes about nerds. Essentially I feel that when the show exploded into popularity it felt like it needed to stay there and began catering to the lowest common denominator. I would like episodes that are less of "Oh, he looks stupid recording himself with flags, hurr durr" and more genuinely funny scientific or mathematical jokes. The last one I can remember was in season 4: "What would you be if you were attached to a plane wrapped heligally around an axis? Screwed! There you go then."


I kind of agree, but I never really felt the 'smart' jokes were believable anyway, and really made me think less of Sheldon. "I feel like an inverse tangent function approaching an asymptote!" = Stuck. What? Why need it be inverse, or even a tangent function? :/

I have to say that I don't know what I'd do in such a situation, and I can see the pros and cons of both options.
Good luck anyway though, hopefully you'll have done better than you think anyway! :smile:


thank you! hopefully all this worrying is for nothing!

Nice. I am still not sure whether I want to do theoretical physics or maths yet, but at Queens as well :smile:

I would be happy with a B in geography after how I messed up one of the exams :tongue: My other targets are high though :biggrin:


I might see you at Elms village(?) at some point, you just won't know who I am and vice versa haha. Oh Theoretical sounds interesting. I was looking at Applied Maths with physics myself but we'll see what I get....

You'll get an A at least, the scaling should be generous... :smile:

Interesting distraction. I hope it's not only for that reason...:s-smilie:


it's not :P me and my girlfriend are getting them done together before we go to uni but it gets me out of the house and away from freaking out for a while :P

because having someone come at your areola with a needle is an excellent way to stop freaking out :rolleyes:

Yeah, the thing is Bernadette is alright, I just preferred the Howard of season 1 and 2 who'd hit on anything with a pulse...his chat up lines were first class! :biggrin:.
The fact that the show has deviated from what it was originally is really annoying. I completely agree with the bit in bold. The show used to stand out because of those jokes, it was different. Now its just too mainstream and bleurgh for lack of a better term.
Leonard's become awfully mundane through the seasons as well.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted (good upto season 3ish).
I'm off to start re-watching House from the start, that show never disappointed :biggrin:.
Getting agonisingly close and i'm getting really scared.It's only AS so the feeling will be on a different level on results day next year,will all the hard work i thought i did during my exams pay off.I've literally prayed to God(s) since august and i'm so scared ergh If i don't get AAB i'm not going Kings.Too scared now.

Teachers get our results tomorrow, right? :ashamed2:
Original post by holyfire
Ah you had bad teachers too? :frown: we had to do Feminine Gospels by Duffy, most of which I wasn't a fan of. That section went better than the extract though I literally made the context bits up :frown:

Yeah, one was absolutely terrible. We spent months on one book and so ran out of time for the others. Even then I had to teach most of it myself. She also refused to mark my coursework originally because it was 100 words over. I had no clue what I was doing and wanted a bit of direction! Oh I see! I made up a lot of my last one :frown:

What makes it worse, is that there always seems to be issues with marking in English Lit!
