Welcome to the world of Marcus!

Happened with most of the people in my year, too. Highest grade was a C for Biology.

The grade boundary for an E was 27, I got 27. I couldn't have done much worse   Really annoyed with myself, feel like I've let my teachers down

I would have gotten a 6C in that test had I got 30, I got 28.

Life sucks sometimes.

Jeez, I'm just really annoyed because I know that if I'd revised as I should have I could easily have got more than that, maybe a C. Think I'm still thinking like a GCSE student, hopefully this is the reality check I need...

Yeah, that's been the general consensus of most of my year group who take sciences... Maths was the same.

Our Head of Year said it's the same every year and it is the wake up call everyone needs.

Wouldn't worry about it. It helps when your paper is independently marked, rather than by people who know you! 

I didn't get above a D in any mock exam, which certainly didn't reflect my end results.

My chemistry and maths weren't too shabby (C and A). But I revised, more than biology anyway, for them 
Seems like a general trend though, people I know who are very clever are getting dodgy grades... (In science) 
Just hoping my History teacher marks nice...

Ordered a card for a friend's birthday last Wednesday using their 'First Class' postal service estimated delivery 1-3 working days - it's now been 5 working days and it's still not arrived. First and I think the way things are going only time I'm ordering any personalised cards from them.

I seriously need to tidy up my bus stuff...

Thats actually tidy compared to when I used to collect bus stuff, most of it ended up in a heap at the bottom of my wardrobe...

When i lived in a childrens home, at one point bus timetables, papers and magazines kept my bed standing, i squeezed that much underneath that when a leg snapped, the crap under it kept it up

Top up card for my phone is bent.

Also the little Tesco in Darlington Centre don't do top ups, not that it would work as the card is bent.

Can you not do it online?

Probably, just not really sure how.

May try going into the O2 shop tomorrow and see what they can do.

With O2, you used to be able to ring up and top up via debit card, using the automated service.

(15 Jan 2015, 5:18 pm)aureolin wrote With O2, you used to be able to ring up and top up via debit card, using the automated service.

Think I could still do that as I have a number in my contacts for top up.

Will try and sort card out tomorrow but if I can't I will do that.

The forum being slow when quoting another post.. and lots of English work to do for tomorrow...

I've noticed that too.

The forums being very slow for posting things...
By the time this has posted, it would have been five minutes.

EDIT: This time it took about 45 seconds.

EDIT: Above edit took over a minute to appear on post.

It's no bother when using the "Quick Reply" function - it's just when you're quoting. Irritating, nevertheless.

Damn it, my edits haven't appeared.

Yahoo pissing about with the layout of Flickr again, they never seem to leave anything alone do they.

Going to the swimming baths only to find out that the pool is being cleaned.

The underwater cleaning device looked pretty cool though. First time I've ever seen one.

@Adam M - Looks hideous. And its irritating how you can't search flickr.

Indeed it does, Question now though is, how the fuck do you upload photos.

What have they done exactly as I can't see any difference.

Given up trying to use this forum now and am back on Tapatalk as it was taking ages to reply.

There is a Yahoo search bar instead of the Flick banner.

Haha I was thinking that too - what as stupid idea by Yahoo.

Wait a second, are my eyes deceiving me or has it gone back to normal.
