    You'd almost think she's doing it deliberately to annoy me, wouldn't you?
    She should aim to become a newsreader imo. Or a Hollywood actress.
    What does she want to be?

    Fùck alone knows. I'm not sure I trust people who know what they want to be at 18, though.

    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?

    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.

    Physics.

    Even then I knew it was not cool to be a spod.

    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.
