Thank you. I'm hoping to do Business Leadership & Corporate Management at Northumbria. The original offer was 3 As but after going to an interview/assessment day, my offer was reduced because I supposedly impressed them. No idea how like but never mind haha.

The one thing I regret is not going to Uni in 2008, I had a pretty much unconditional offer to goto University of Ulster to do Youth and Community Work, all that was asked was that I pass an Interview/Assessment...Oh well nothing can be done about it now

I've heard a few stories of people regretting not going to uni. It is a real shame like but that's life.

However, saying that, others have said that an apprenticeship can sometimes be better as it gives you work experience which is what employers are now looking for as you will have the skills needed and you are already used to the routine of a working environment.

Uni graduates though are used to the routine of regularly rolling out of bed 15 mins before a lecture (or so I've heard anyway ).

Oh yes. haha

I find it hilarious how Bernie Eccleston has paid €60m to a German court (even though it is legal) to eradicate a bribery charge against him. How ironic is that?

It's pathetic and a perfect example of a class divide. You don't have to stand trial if you've got enough money to afford not to!

Seen on the news, the body of Liam Sweeney is about to be repatriated in the coming days, while tragic and heart breaking, it has to be a relief and a huge weight lifted off his family, he can now be laid to rest, the remains of John Alder are yet to be identified, I hope and pray every victim gets there relatives remains back to lay to rest

For anyone venturing out today, its really clammy!

The rain... holy shit, we haven't had rain like this in ages

Few rumbles of thunder in East Cleveland but not seen showers like that for a while!

I was on the 7 this afternoon and I saw a lass who must have been about 13 with a baby's dummy in her mouth. Just why? Is she like that guy who acts like a baby in that documentary.

I was across the Road from Park Lane next to where the 60/61 Stops taking Photos of the Buses as they came out Today, And this Police Officer was walking along the Path on the opposite side of the Road, He then randomly stopped and looked at me.

And I was thinking in my Head "Awe Shit he's gunna read me the Riot act on Terrorism or something etc", He then came over and asked me Several Questions on what I like about Buses and where the Interest stemmed from before walking off, Found it quite odd to be Honest.

I'd think nowt of it. I've had a few coppers stand and talk to me, and the majority have been fine. I think if anything its reassuring, especially considering the shit you can get from private security firms.

Gutted, really gutted at the news just broke...

Robin Williams has died aged 63, apparently by suicide

Just heard, absolutely devastated, he could be whoever you wanted him to be...

I'm absolutely stunned and shocked, loved him, I had known a little about his depression and looked up to him as an example of someone who could battle through it, makes me even more determined to battle my own demons and not let myself head in the same direction

RIP Robin, you'll be missed and loved forever

This story made me laugh.
