Bev,you might have a better chance of catching a bottle of Leaping Bubbly if you take someone that's recently earned a Degree with you. :))

It's worth a look, Bev, because it was half price. :) I actually got it on my way to the station to pick up someone that's recently earned a Degree, otherwise I don't think I'd have taken any notice.
Ray - of course it counts!

This is one of my all-time favourite bits of telly - where a group of schoolchildren of O level age (15-16), regarded as being on track for good GCSEs, hear their results for a 1950s maths test, and find that it wasn't even O level: it was a 1950s eleven-plus.

I think my enjoyment of this counts as schadenfreude.

My boy hasn't started A levels yet so might have to pay a visit just because "I'm worth it"!

Greetings all! If I misinterpreted anything then that's on me! I try to avoid conflict so I did as I was always taught... walk away instead of creating additional drama. Thanks to those who wanted me to come back (that was nice)! Going to Nawlins (New Orleans) on Saturday with some friends to party. Hope everyone is well! :)

I'm doing well, but if you look at Touranment 8 in the Knockout, I could be playing against REDVIKING tomorrow.

Mel, if you are up against him, do you think you could persuade him to sing?

Sorry, VM, there are no more episodes. Watch them all twice till you find yourself speaking like the teachers?

Yep, I'm guessing that I will...I know there won't be any more 'new' stuff, but it's still sad, that there is nothing to look forward to! I'm working on the 'Brit-Speak':)

Welcome back Saints, everyone here (well within reason ;)) is quite harmless, we come here to get away from the hassle we get everywhere else.
Brit-speak? I thought that was standard English until I came across people who couldn't follow me. But I do have to try and avoid my usual local references here as East Finchley, Brent Cross shopping centre, Finchley Road, The Quadrant or Neasden Parade are meaningless to most people in Britain as well as worldwide. But then again it coould be my work to publicise them (as of course I just have). |

Yay Brent Cross! Let's hear it for Neasden!
Paul, done that - got what I wished for and been sorry. Sing to me. I can take it!

If I can stand Mom's singing I can take anything (she likes to sing, but can't carry a tune to save her life-and I'm still standing, so... bring it on :))
