Results Day!!!!!!!!

very interesting - the Guardian had a similar article yesterday.

if the Kid lands a decent gig while she's studying she'll simply go to Goldsmiths and say 'I'm taking time out' - which they, apparently, will wear without difficulty.

Good that she can have time out. A friend of mine had to fake insanity to get a year off. That was the easy bit; proving he was sane again after the year out was more problematic.

Goldsmiths is, so I'm told, very unusual in this respect. Which is a great shame, because I'd have thought that snapping up an opportunity and returning would stand the university in good stead.

Congratulations Montage!

It's freshers week here which always makes be a bit envious of all the fun they're having.

Well done Montage! A fellow Geography Undergrad on the boards! Have to say though, I am glad I went to University the year I did, I'm honestly not sure I would have been accepted with the A level results I achieved. I didn't work throughout the whole of my school career and ended up with very average grades. Since then I'm on track for a 1st, so it shows that it's possible, and not the end of the world for other who have not been so fortunate today.

Well done, Monty! Good on ya!

Do enough work for three years, get a cushy 2:1, then get out travelling in the real world and LIVE!

Well done Monty . I would say get on the bike and go for a blast round the area to celebrate but I take it that your feet haven't recovered enough yet. How much longer have you got before you can get back on the bike?

Whilst we're on the subject of A-level results, I put forward a theory at work today: that a national newspaper always carries a photo of fragrant female twins celebrating a clutch of A grades. And it turns out that the Telegraph didn't let me down.

cycling, with a bit of geography in between.
Might be a fair few who didnt get in.....news this morning said up to 44% of applicants (thats before clearing though).

Off to collect the results soon, then visit the physio (crap that is going to hurt after just 3 hours sleep)

Ah - can you get a degree in that then? If so it'll be a first my boy

Well done that man

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Lancaster, eh? Nice choice... highest suicide rate in England apparently... but don't let that put you off.

I applied there wanting the great outdoors and to get away from noise/city to concentrate on my Degree... ended up going to Manchester instead, which is reknowned for its location far away from noise and distractions... errrrr.

Congrats, matey! Enjoy.
