I remember this day well, phoning the school from the pay phone in the Ship Bar in Warrenpoint to be told I had achieved 1 grade A, 1 grade C and 1 grade F. Realising then that I had not enough points or whatever for my chosen course and wondering how my future would pan out.
A few carefully placed phone calls on my behalf and I was into University quicker than you could say “what a fúcking waste of time that is going to be”.
May I ask what the F was in, sw?Originally Posted by SWv2
Actually I was thinking. I get annoyed when I hear about A levels and people doing well,
But I actually have 3 B's myself.

10 characters? Pile of cund.
Physics.
Even then I knew it was not cool to be a spod.
There is no F in Physics

You were mad even to be taking it imo. I got an E at it in GCSE on the grounds that it was a stupid subject and that I'd given up on it pretty much after my first lesson.
I seem to recall thinking it was relatively “easy” at O Level and this was the basis of my course selection for A Level, as opposed to choosing courses for a defined career path. As you have said before, who the fúck really knows what they want to be at 16.
I cannot recall a course which would have helped me become a rampant stud muffin.
In the end in hindsight I appear to have chosen to be an Irish speaking economist who knew how to do whatever a physics person does.
Did Physics have electrolysis or was that a Chemistry topic ?
Dunno mate, I got an F.
