I have one GCSE. (Ok, the rest are O levels)
There are still people under 50 with O-levels, though only for another three years!

Me for one ;)
Also did 16+ for a couple which gave you an O level if you did all the papers and got high enough marks

No GCSE’s here either. But that’s because I’m Scottish! Standard Grades & Higher’s for me. It’s all changed now though....I think!

My school was on the Border, so I did a mish-mash of o grades, GCSEs, highers and A levels, which confused every single university I applied for ("you've got your Highers results, but you're waiting for A level results???") and was totally pointless.

ITG - so sorry for the emotional turmoil you've faced but so relieved that you can now officially say mother knows best before embarrassing son for the rest of his life (they thought you'd fractured your hip but it was just a giant TURD :-) )
Happy holidays Dooooooooooogs
Have just discovered that my mother is so un-tech savvy that she thought if she posted a message on my sister's FB timeline it was private and no-one could see it. Coincidentally, I have also just discovered that my father (looking after our animals while we're away) had somehow locked one of our chickens in our house, which is now covered in chicken poop *rolls eyes*

This running lark doesn't get any easier. 3 slow hot muggy miles in the bag though

Yikes, Ymee, I dare say you will be helping clean up both messes :/

xfit for me. Lots of lifting but in the end, I didn't break a sweat because I lifted such puny weights. I did my first proper deadlifting since the back injury but despite it only being 30k, back is a little on the grumbly side. Not sore exactly but I will be good to myself.

Once you have A levels, no-one's interested in your GCSEs (or O levels); and once you have a degree, no-one's interested in your A levels.

About This Thread

Maintained by Merrymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2018 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Next year's spreadsheet can be found here - let's fill it up
