Which means my best achievment today was winning killier pool
:D

Thats not too bad fella, I only got 1 c, 3 d's and teh rest e,s they mean nowt in time!

yes just look at "teh" lofty heights bushey has reached!  :D

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  Thick cunt

Nah well done

That explains one 'D'

 Does that make you the cleverest kid in Melksham?

Ha, ive explained my spelling issues  :D Quite happy with the wage pack for someone who cant spell

can't buy you love though bushey...

Not having a pop or anything, but are you in a wheelchair?

When I was at school, as long as you turned up with your shorts and could run, the minimum you got was a C.......

Who wants love, you of all people know its shit to be in love dude! Actually its good until it ends  :D

Might be the root of the problem.

Thats harsh, many disabled people can do sports, fucking hate it when people have a go at the disabled.

Bushy, sometimes you are such a twat!

Where was I having a go at anyone?

Go and count your money or something.........................

his parents must be so proud.right result eh :-))(

It's mainly the coursework.
GSCE P.E is different to the P.E that every kid from primary through to secondary does.
I was ok in the actual tests, but coursework brings your grade down a stupid amount if it isn't very good.

For example, I got 390 out of 397 correct in my maths test but I only managed to get a D

I wouldn't worry about it.

I left school with no qualifications, probably due to the same reason as your low grades, I couldn't be arsed.

Returned to full time education in my thirties, got my A Levels and went to Uni.

And am now..............

Doing a shite job, just like I was before I went to Uni.

Inspiring stuff eh?  :D

which makes it a good way of scoring results.its not purely down to sitting exams.i think that way is quite fair

 I make that 98% you sure your maths is right?

You my hero.
I want to be just like you :D

You need 70% for a C
Maths coursework is worth 30%
98% - 30% = 68%
There's my D

I did my maths GCSE again this year at college, at school got a D (mainly due to the fact i didn't have a teacher for three years!) this year i got a B im well pleased!!  :D

 you clearly could have done better as you did very well in the exam.why didn't you do better with your coursework?
i got similar results to you because i fucked about at school.i regret it big time now.

only talking from personal expirence, but Maths course work was piss easy.

Got straight 8s on all three pieces I did

The amount of coursework we were given was ridiculous.
But I only did it for the lessons I liked really.
I basically couldn't be assed.

Ha ha, count my money, ok, but as I got a C at school might take a while

What I was referring to was the wheelchair comment.  PE has been explained now and thats what I was trying to say

Maybe my retort was a bit abrasive but it was only a tongue in cheek reply and in no way reflected my views on the athletic prowess of those less-abled.

Hopefully this PC explanation will go some way to off setting the distress I caused you.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

This is great!

No jealously in that comment at all!

I cant remember what I got in my GCSE's -  :? is that bad??

charlotte do you not even remember the memory test at gcse's?  :?

GCSE p.e's all about the muscles and nutrition anyway isn't it? more biology than pe.

My GCSE's were mediocre at best (can't even remember what I got now, suffice to say they were poor) - I escaped from Westbury, knuckled down in Higher Education, eventually managed to get into uni (despite doing a pointless course in hindsight) and am now embarking on a Masters degree.

But your a Melksham kid (that's George Ward right?) so that's pretty good  :wink:

I jest.... kind of.

Jealous?

Bushy owns his own business, drives a beemer and is apparently minted.

Why would I be jealous?

I work for someone else, drive a fucked up Renault and haven't got a pot to piss in.

I'm sure you can see that jealousy was the last thing on my mind................................

Correct

My brother got A* in German, as expected

I got an A* in maths, then a B at A-level, but found the GCSE coursework really hard! I guess it's just the way your mind works!

Er, what are GCSE's?????  :old:

Exams don't seem to me to be a true test of intelligence - more a test of those who get their head down and work.  I went to a decent secondary school and college and so was pushed through my exams and subsequently got very decent results....  Get to uni, and no one on my back forcing me to get my head down, and I struggle.  I'm dreading my third year....   :|

And that sums up the education system Rus.

However, I would like to think that once my daughter gets to an age that she is at Uni then she would be motivated enough in herself to want to work.

That is not meant disrepectful to you mate, some people can motivate themselves and some people need to be motivated............we are all different mate

i did o levels like coxernater (i refuse to call you your gay new name)

I had exactly the same thing as Walrus. After the first 2 years at Uni I was on for a third after getting good A-Levels, then I did a year's 'Industrial Placement' and realised I could get up in the mornings and do a good day's work and went on to get a first for my final year, giving me a 2:1 overall.

Just got to find some way to motivate yourself and it's easy, it's just finding that motivation that's the problem.

snap

screw that self study bollox thats not engaging...

Nice one. Are you actually properly german then? Do you have a german parent or parents? Did you used to live in Dachau?

Not minted herth, just work.  Anyway never getting a nights sleep as always on call isnt teh best job.

End of teh day its now that stfclifes has to start working on a career

I'm guessing you didn't bother with the English coursework either?

I got an A in GCSE German... and I'm English  :?

I got an A in French. I used to wear stripey jumpers, berets and onions around my neck though.

I did actually

I say fair play to you S4L.  You turned up for the exams, completed them and thats more than some people even bothered to do.

You still got grades to show for it no matter what they are.

I agree, unless they are disabled Jews.

Are you stalking me on the internet, you big gay bear?

 :soapy tit wank:

Cheers :)

You don't understand percentages :D. If the exam was worth 70% and you got 98 % then you got 68.6 % of those 70% and presuming you got 0 % on the coursework then you got 68.6% overall.

You need 1.4/30 or just under 5% on the coursework to get the C, you could have probably handed any old shit in.

I admit that's pretty close to what you said. But let's use your logic with a different situation. Say it was 50% exam and 50% coursework. By your maths if you'd got 40% on the exam and nothing on the coursework.
40% - 50% = -10%. In reality you would have got 40% of 50% = 20%

I think that's right anyway. Maths genius Ben is a long time ago and any I did at uni was blanked out my lot's of alcohol.

So?

"as expected" is what I was talking about. I got an A* in GCSE German, and I'm English, so there  :P

So what are you going on to do now Dean? I keep forgetting, regardless of however many times I've asked...

Agreed. Your hours are long and shit and i wouldn't want your job.

Shouldn't we be keeping people's private lifes and what they earn off an internet forum?

Totally agree Ralph, arent you a footballer ralph?

Bricklaying apprenticeship.
Interview Thursday.

I was going to say that, but my way was easier to understand.
:D

I don't like to talk about it.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Fucking hell!!!

That is the funniest thing I've read on here!

I've met hardly any of you, but I seem to know a fair bit, I wonder how?

Maybe because most of us go on about our favourite subject so much........OURSELVES!

Get over yourselves FFS, most of what I post is a piss take, why Bushy decided to take me seriously this time I dunno......

on radio 2 this morning they quoted a student who commented after receiving an A* in his GCSE English:

"I done much better than expected"

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Im not sure, just a bad day I guess, apologies but your still a wanker  :D

The principal here picked up on that and laughed saying maybe he should have just got an A!!!!!!

Everyone needs a hobby........................ :D

Its a great hobby!

is he from wiltshooiiire?

Thats the one, good luck with the interview mate.

Try to avoid mentioning that you "can't be assed"

last night was lush in brighton, so many pissed young girls 8)

Did you grade them accordingly?
