Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I distinctly remember it being under half the general population, still is, from the tax/budget/unemployment figures.

I might have a go but keep it private unless I thinks do really well

thinks :-) FFS!

In my Maths A level Mock my teacher took 2% off of my final mark because the twat said I spelt my name incorrectly...I pointed out what my name is, and he still took 2% off. The twat.

He was annoyed because the month before he told me I'd fail as I had done no work at all, which was true, but I crammed like made and got 98% (i.e. 100).

I stopped doing anymore work that year and got a B.

If I remember correctly, the A level had a section in French.

I took my Maths O Level a year early and scraped through with a C. I did Statistics the following year and failed but have often thought about doing it again as I thought I should have sailed through it. After the exam, I thought that not enough time was given by the examination board to complete the paper.

French in A level Gen Studies yes. Big step up from O level French iirc (it’s 36 years ago)

I love some of those essay questions! Imagine trying to persuade someone who doesn't like poetry to try some. It's almost saying you're a complete savage if you don't appreciate it :-)

Thanks to um for setting up this thread. What I might do is drop a question or two in here every now and then for people to have a ponder rather than a mass of them like on my blog today.
