Seems I haven't changed...

[JhnBssll]

I'm applying for professional registration and have been asked to find my old exam certificates. I haven't found them yet, but have come across this little gem from my high school days... It would seem I haven't changed much in 19 years

Also worth mentioning I went to the local household waste recycling centre last week and was stopped and questioned by one of the attendants as he thought I was dumping commercial waste...

"Is this from a bike shop?..."

I was both proud and embarassed to explain that no, I just own several bicycles and was having a clearout

My old school reports from 40 years ago consistently said that I could do very well in the future, if only I'd apply myself to what I was supposed to be doing.

Quite accurate predictions I'd say.

My favourite comment from the headmaster on my school report was 'his hairstyle is symptomatic of his difficulties' - 55 years on I still don't understand what he was getting at

My school reports all mentioned my poor handwriting and how it would hold me back in life. The irony is I'm typing this and made my living in my final 10 working yrs on computers.
Ha! Ha! Mrs Pickering!

one particular teacher seemed to love to tell me I would never be successful in life, well mr reeves, feck you, I have been married 28 years , three kids , one granddaughter, it all depends what you call successful but I am calling that a result

I was told at school, to stop wasting my time messing around with "those new fangled computer things" or I won't get anywhere in life. I then went on to make my fortune on "those new fangled computer things" allowing me to retire at a VERY young age and enjoy a life of leisure!

I'm glad this is bringing back memories (Not necessarily good) but I still haven't found my pesky A-level certificates... if any of you spot them on your travels please be a dear and let me know

When I first read that I read "I have been married 28 times".
2nd time it made sense
I do agree......a good happy family rates as a manor success.

I may be a bit silly , but not im not that daft...

Always remembered a line from a classmate's report: "Who is Mark Beasley?"

One teacher criticised my attention span, saying I would never hold down a job.

Ha! What did he know? I've had dozens!
