So the daughter got her A-Level results today (all fine, thanks for asking) and it

struck me that they way they do it now is unnecessarily cruel. First of all, you can find out from UCAS online if you've been accepted into the University of your choice at half six in the morning. That's fine if you've done well, of course, but if not, you've got to go into school to collect your results in front of all your happy mates and then spend hours ringing round the 'University' of South Rutland, etc trying to get a place.

Surely the whole thing can now be done online to avoid all this crap?

Ah yes, I meant to ask. Please proffer salaams and congratulations as appropriate.

Good job it all went well otherwise it might have been a bit of a drama, eh? Drama! Ha!

Very good. Yes, my daughter will be studying plays for three years. :-(

You'd almost think she's doing it deliberately to annoy me, wouldn't you?

She talks about 'performance pieces' and 'spaces'. :-( It makes me want to disown her.

It's ok, though. If she can't land a job as a google developer after that it'll be the patriarchy's fault so she might be in line for some compensation.

She should aim to become a newsreader imo. Or a Hollywood actress.
What does she want to be?
