Irn bru is quite good but I hate the aftertaste. I remember getting my x850 for £150 it was a beast when I got it but its a shame it couldn't do SM3.

x800GTO was the first PC part I ever bought, cost me £126.

Was really upset when I got Bioshock from my brother for my birthday and I couldn't run it due to SM3.

AAhhhh but I did A Levels as well and they are still called A Levels, except when I did them they were actually quite difficult, no "give away" prizes in those days

I resent it when "oldies" say that. Why cant teaching methods and teachers get better?

Now just you shut up about these "Give-Away qualifications", I'm working bloody hard towards these...
I'm tempted to find the past paper essay that has a go at that kinda statement...
All this coming from someone who literally only properly started revision tonight...

Mind you saying what I just said, A-levels are a walk in the park compared to a Uni degree. And dont even get me started on GCSE's.

I suppose its just how you progress. I wouldnt have got the grades I got if it wasnt for the teachers, even my parents have said that. And point is proven by the way I'm doing worse in terms of grades on my degree, where most of the teachers are sh*t

One of the sixth formers commented to me that they were GCSeasies lol, his way of persuading us to do an hour of rifle drill which ends 20 minutes before my english language exam. I wonder how the invigilator would react to me walking in wearing combat 95 uniform?
