As long as your grade is better than a G - or something like that, its a pass anyway.
I got B's and C's all the way through my exams, and I am on the fast track to a £30,000 a year job. All they know is I "Passed" my English and Maths exam. I would still be on the road for this job even if I didn't get B's and C's.
GCSE grades are important if you want to go onto College. But they really aren't the be all and end all. If you do rubbish, it just means you re-take them. Employers won't be that fussed, as long as you have the grade you went to college for.
But surely Virgin is a lot worse than BT? I guess Sam doesn't have much of a say as he is 14/15, but what is so bad with having a BT phone line? It's not a dig, I just wondered...
Makes me laugh, Bladdy posted that up on the internet...on a forum in which he plays a game on his Personal Computer.
If it was still the 80s, all you would have is your Bus.
If I'm honest, I wish I was an 80's child, but the fact of the matter is, we are much, much, much better off now that what we were, despite living in this Nanny state!
Jakg, the reason you carry on when you get home is because you are only at school for 6 hours, 5 less hours than what I'm at work. If I would snap my bosses hand off if I could do 6 hours at work then 4 hours in the comfort of my own home. I have no time either. I start work at 1pm, finish at 1am, with no breaks and then I scrub myself like mad in the bath for an hour, by the time I get into bed, its 2:30am, and by the time I actually get to sleep its 3am/3:30am, then after a good nights/mornings kip, I wake up again at 12, get ready for work then start again at 1pm. Give me school any day

I too stuck a tenner on Comply or Die. But the odds were 8/1 when I done it, so I "only" got a tenner short of a tonne.
Comply or Die is actually trained about 10 minutes away from me, hence the bet. Also, the fact "Comply or Die" reminded me of "Credit or Die" from my Photoshopping days.
But it was ten to nine mate, if I didn't make the most of the situation, I would of been there till gone 9! It really was packed, bumper to bumper.
He was sat in the inside lane, with no indication which according to my instructor gives me right of way over him.
Like I said, if I had a different examiner, and I stayed, he may of failed me on waiting too long etc and not moving when the blue car was stationary...
