Right... at least I know that it's (probably) nearly over! Now I just have to hope. Thanks!

I finally received my letter from Collingwood about my acceptance. The first letter they sent apparently got lost according to the college. And now they want my original certificates because my offer is unconditional and they want to verify. I don't think so. What if my original certificates got lost? Just mailed them asking whether a certified true copy signed by my Sixth Form tutor would suffice.

Oh and good luck Taemon. And thanks for the rep Jurisprude, although I am not sure what it is for either. :biggrin:

de.novo if they do get lost, I'm sure you can order new ones from you examination board?

I could. But they won't reissue the certificate. They will just send me a statement of my results which could be used in place of the originals. And if they get lost before they reach the college, then I'll really have to scramble to get the replacement and send them over again.
Well, still nothing for me ...

Jurisprude : Yep', we worked today, lol.
Taemon : I LOVE the way he pronounces "cuillère", lol, just amazing :biggrin:
And félicitations about your track status, lol.

I just love the whole sketch. "Le train part à quelle heure? Cinq minutes? D'accord... la souris est en-dessous de la table..." Genius!

Thanks about track! If possible I feel even more nervous than before... I frequently check my email to see if there's one from UCAS, despite the fact that I know that none of the admissions tutors will be working today, and that they probably won't start working again until Tuesday!
I LOVE Gad Elmaleh!

BRIAN! POURQUOI T'ES SORTI DE LA CUISINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!
:biggrin:
I love the "Le Blond" sketch also ^^
Like

"L'enfant du blond, il dépasse PAS quand il colorie.
Toi, le tiens, il vient te voir et il te dit "Papa, t'as vu, j'suis PAS rentré !""

Have any of you seen his other live shows? They're really good!
Whose shows ?
Eddy Izard or Gad Elmaleh ?
I have Elmaleh's DVD and it is really fun, lol.

Gad Elmaleh - I love the sketch on his DVD where he's in the US and the girl says: Gad but sounds like God.
This one, lol, with BRIAN !!! :biggrin:
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God !
Comment elle connait mon prénom ?!"

I've just been watching a few of his sketches on Youtube... they really are funny! I really liked the one about education... "Tu commence ta vie avec les exercices qui s'appellent les problèmes... les problèmes!" - Very funny!
If you have the possibility, you should watch Camping, with Frank Dubosc, he's great too ^^.

Basically...the girl is shouting "oh my god", and he's thinking she's saying "Oh my Gad !" (his name sounds like God, lol).


What's this? OT spam in the applicants thread :eek: :wink:

Why are you so desperate to know? Isn't it ages before you have to reply with all your choices?
