    My not-angry rant:Most people would think those grades are crap and that I'm stupid, well they're both wrong. I'm highly-intelligent due to inherited genes from Father and due to my Aspeger's Syndrome but because of my ADD, I find it hard to concentrate and I'm very hyperactive. Due to my learning problems, I was placed in the lowest set in high school and also because the school didnt realise how smart I was. In short, the school failed me and it's a fact that many students are made to think, that they are stupid by their teachers, who patronise and knock them down.If you (anyone) thinks I sound arrogant, cocky and up my own bum, that's your problem. What am I supposed to say....that I'm thick and stupid haha. If I'm smart I will say I'm smart, no-one on here would know unless I say so - that's pretty straight-forward isn't it?I did my GCSEs 5/6 years ago and they are a lot easier compared to how they were at my age. You'll probably come out with some comeback that students your age are getting smarter, that's been confirmed by the government and the newspapers to be false and it's true that GCSEs are getting easier. I have friends who are teachers and have been teachers for 5-25 years and they have said to me, that GCSEs are ridiculously easy and that universities and companies don't find them to be that important (except English / Maths). This would also explain why A* Levels have been getting harder, because the standards of GCSEs are getting easier, the gap between GCSEs and A* Levels is getting wider. This is shown by the increased number of students who are going to college and are doing one-subject full-time courses like the National Diploma and Apprenticeships. If GCSEs were harder, the gap between GCSEs to A* Levels would be smaller and therefore, students would find A* Levels easier than now. It doesn't matter if you get 5 B's and 6 Cs at GCSE because that is amazing and in our days, to even get a C-grade at English, Science or Maths or all three was/is very good.

    A C-grade is very good actually - I got 5 B-Cs, 1 D, 2 Es and and 1 F (History) and I did my GCSEs about 5-years ago, I'm 20 going on 21 in July 2010. I've completed a National Diploma in Multimedia and got Triple Merit (3 B's at A* Level) and I decided to do another college course, so I can specialise.I am on my 2nd year of a National Diploma in Business and I'm currently achieveing Triple Distinction (DDD) which is equivalant to 3 As at A* Level. I have just had four offers so far from Brunel (Business Management - Marketing) for a 4-yr sandwhich course with a guaranteed 1-yr paid work placement, Roehampton (Marketing & Multimedia), Buckingham New and London Thames.I've turned out very good so far (education-wise) and this shows that you dont need to have 10 A-C's to be successful- SO DON'T PANIC!!! Sir Alan Sugar left school at 16 with no qualifications except bad grades in GCSEs and he has an empire worth nearly £1Billion.

    There are a lot of new albums out soon:Lady GaGa's new album 'Fame Monster' is quite impressive and on GaGa's album 'Bad Romance', 'Telephone Ft Beyonce', 'Monster, ''Alejandro' and 'Dance in the Dark' are the best songs if you are GaGa fans. I don't like Rihanna's new album 'Rated R'. It lacks up-tempo / dance-type songs (like Disturbia / Breakin Dishes, Don't Stop The Music) and it strays from the R&B genre. Leona Lewis has the album 'Echo' which her best and has this generic but really good dance song called 'Outta My Head'. JLS new album has some really good songs like 'Kickstart' and 'Keep You' in addition to the already released songs.Timbaland has a new album which is said to feature artists that show off their vocal talents and a side of them, in ways never seen before; which seems to be quite anticipating.

    I happen to think investment in rides and rollercoasters is the best way to generate more interest in Chessington and that this will help the park cater for different age groups, such as young children, kids, teenagers, etc. I think that if everyone has some attractions that appeal to them, they will want to come to Chessington more often. These would be done over a 10-15 yr period, which would see the park evolve.Overall Aim: To refurbish and freshen existing areas with different themes, extra themeing and new rides (inc. Rollercoasters)General Infrastructure & Zoo:Refurbish the themeing on ridesBetter audio to set that atmosphere, depending on the area of the parkCreate more interactive features and special effects Safari Trail, to the left of Wild Asia, which will strengthen the Zoo section to the south-side of the park. Replace the Donuts shop in Market Town Square with Jacket Potatoes and various toppingsMystic East:Remove everything in Mystic East such as Dragon Falls, Peeking Heights, Climbing Wall, Extreme Bungee, the 3 food outlets, Panning for GoldInstall a highly-themed Log Flume that doesn't take up that much space as Dragon Falls and to install one Mondial Topscan To have a large-restaurant in Mystic East serving Chinese food and a Chinese-themed shopThere will be space left over, which could be used for a medium-sized rollercoasterForbidden Kingdom:Convert Toytown into an extension to Forbidden Kingdom Replace Toadie's Crazy Cars with a highly-themed Splash Battle and water cannons that shoot further and includes interactive featuresInstall Duelling (2) Magic Carpets to where the Jumbo is and to re-theme the Berry BouncersReplace Ramses Revenge with a brand-new suspended version that seats more peopleMexicana:Get rid of Runaway Train and open up that area for expansion and relocate the buildings behind Rameses Revenge (Medical Centre) Build a Vekoma Mine Train coaster which covers where Rodeo and Runaway Train used to beRelocate the Children's Zoo and in it's place a Topple TowerA restaurant that serve Mexican and Wild, West food such as Buffalo Wings, BBQ Ribs, Fajitas, Nachos, etc Wild Asia: To use 'The Glade' for medium-sized family-thrilling rollercoasterPirate's Cove: The whole of the Picnic Area for a highly-themed Intamin River Rapids, similar to River Quest in Phantasialand Transylvania:Vampire: New 4-seater trains with in-board audio (adjustments to track & station)Special effects in Vampire TunnelReplace Bubbleworks with an indoor family-thrilling dark-rideReplace Burger King with an indoor thrilling dark ride
  6. You're frankly mistaken Vampire is actually Keith's - he's left his own special mark (stain) on that beast and he well rides it more than everyone else
  7. I probably will be able to make the fun fairs on the 2nd day, assuming the AP stuff takes place on the 1st day.Put me down as a 'maybe' for the time being - thanks

    I suggest you should stand up, because if you don't stand up for yourself and show people that you aren't weak and you shouldnt be treated like that, how will you ever be able to stand up for yourself. And you can take the first step by telling that fugly skunk (you know what I'm really trying to say) to FO. :lol:Those girls are at that age, where they're immature and they are unfamiliar with that type of thing and it causes them to act that way. If you decided to tell them, 'you're bi...so what??' - it's not a big deal and it doesnt change the person who are and if those chavs cant deal with it, it's their homophobic problems and insecurities.

    Seriously??We got to set preparations for our various children in need events we are doing as part of our 2nd yr unit: managing a event. And we have to do some hard management accounting creating these graphs to determine some accounting-thing called Break-Even analysis.And I've just had my UCS sent off and it was supposed to have been sent off 2 weeks ago, but then again...everyone else on the different courses in our college have just started :)I'm confident, I'll remain sane
  10. Keith, your middle name can't surely be longer than my middle name xD - baring in my mind, my middle name could be possibly longer than Apu's surname (Simpsons)
  11. Oh goody, this is amazing nods I hope we can have t-shirts, mugs and maybe even hoodies
  12. I'm really glad that everybody enjoyed themselves and I'm sorry I couldnt be there. This has probably been one of our most popular meets for obvious reasons. Even though, I wasnt there I would like to say thankyou to Marc for making this possible and bring on some more amazing meet-ups.Well done Marc!
  13. I wont be coming because God decided to screw me over with body-problems. >< One important lesson I've learnt:Never take Imodium unless you 'have', what it is intended to be used for - that and I didn't get a decent night's sleep despite going to bed EARLY at 10:30pm.I'm really pissed because I'm missing ERT, missing the chance to meet Ellie and not being able to see Phil, who I haven't seen since '08 March.

    If she has texted / facebooked her friends and not you, I would be a little worried. Why would her friends be more important than her boyfriend (you).There are too many contributing factors that might break the relationship and then people influence you, or maybe they are jealous that you're happy and they're not. In high school / college, there many contributing factors such as education, people being immature, rumours being spread, jealousy, not enough time to balance priorities, part-time job, friends and other interests (sports / tv / video games). I am happy I've never had any proper girlfriends in high school, (went to an all-boys) most school relationships don't work out. I'm genuinely happy for all my friend's relationships, for what kind of a friend would I be, if I werent happy or supportive of them.My only advice is to not rush into things or immediately think that you're in love (when most young people don't know what love is) and just take things nice and easy.

    I was in a park near to where I live, I was about 5/6 years old. Someone in front of me opened this big metal gate to go into the slides and swings area. The door slipped from the person's hand and it caught my middle finger.I pulled my finger away and it got ripped open with blood pouring out of my finger and had to have stitches. Ambulance had to be called now I have a stitch on my finger.

    I am currently in my second and last year at college studying business and computing and in class today, our lecturer announced the 2nd unit / topic of our 1st term , which happens to be Creative Promotional Advertising.I really enjoyed learning about Marketing and Marketing Research last year and we just found out that our main task (Distinction criteria / A-grade crit) in this unit, is to design a promotional advert which can be about anything and as crazy as possible.She (lecturer) said it's her favourite unit and I can see that I will enjoy it a lot but the lengths that we'd have to go. She said we'd have to go as far as create a backing music track, film the advert as well as edit it. I'm just thinking maybe it's a bit too advanced for what we are doing in this course and in the time frame we have.

    I watched Drag Me to Hell, it was so funny. The part where she is scared by a cloth and then attacked by the old lady.
  22. Disney bought Marvel Comics for $4 Billion as a major blow to to Universal Studios and also for revenge for getting Harry Potter. However Islands of Adventure has Super Hero Marvel land but apparently in final negotiations with the contract, they said that it doesn't affect the IOA themed-land because it's like 15 acres - it would last for another 20-30 years.Universal Studios gunned down by this is going to retaliate by unleashing major details about their new land and their new major dark ride on September 15th.Screamscape reported that WDW Magic leaked reports that if Universal released the major details about their project, Disney will release their major details about the new expansions / new rides coming to each of their parks.
  23. It thought it would be the end of September

    Dan-Rush said it's apparantly waiting for a new part to come down from Alton Towers. I don't know who got the Electrician thing from.

    For example, I have really bad hayfever / phlem but it's not just pollen (flowers) but dust and air-pollution and smoke from cars. I have this nose spray which I have to use 3 times a day.When I use it, it sometimes gets into my throat from my nose, so I cough it up and it tastes horrible. However luckily I only have to use it when it feels stuffy or when I feel I need to. And when spring/summer is over, on comes autumn and winter where sore thoats, flu's and blocked noses are the norm with me.
