Tension over
-
GCSE results day. Got a call from my daughter - she's pleased with her results. Now I can get on with the rest of the day. Just because they are nearly grown up doesn't mean you stop worrying lol.
He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar!
I remember when I got mine, 7 olevals, Oxbridge grade though, not the junk they pass off today. Took 11 in all. I was really happy about my History result, I got a C. It was the only one I revised for because I knoew I wasnt that good, but wanted to be better. All the sciences and maths I knew instinctively. Got a U for French though! Which is funny because now I likve in France and speak it 85% fluently. Eng lit and lang I think were a C and D. Geography a C, Art a C. Didnt care much for those though. Anyway, congrats to your daughter, its a stressfulll period over with. (Have to say though isnt it a bit late in the holls to get them? Normally they come through in the first few weeks no?)

However, you have not to get up at night because they're crying... :doh: :)

It is. The worst part was that the son had stormed out of the house and gone to stay with his natural father shortly beforehand. He was killed when a North Sea Ferry ran over the fishing boat he'd gone out in (his natural father was a fisherman). The Ferry black box has proved that it was off course, and didn't take avoiding action until after impact - it sailed straight through 20 fishing boats.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

Was this recently? I didnt hear anything in the news about it. Its a horrific enough incident to cause mass outrage in the UK being sea faring nation. This kind of behaviour by the ferry skipper would be enough to have him hanged!

Better that than being woke up because they were drunk and thought they could drive home. :rose:
