Not if you're doing it five times a minute. Don't matter how stiff the rod is if there's no juice left in the berries. Or some other metaphor that actually makes sense.
See what you've done here Sky. You've turned everyone but me into a slut. Mission accomplished. I suggest this thread is now closed, as we're a long way from cutting-edge particle physics now. By the way, what was this slag's name, and do you have her phone number?
You're already a slut and you know you are. I thought i would release the rules of Rodeo incase any of our younger members got their A level results and were thinking of going to uni
A level results aren't what they used to be. I think somewhere in the region of 27% of students this year got A or A* grades. I'm old enough to have gone to a grammar school (see that ForedeckDave). If memory serves me correctly (and it probably doesn't), only 3 people in my year got 3 grade As. They all went to Oxbridge. The other thing is that, back then, only 5% of my age group went to university or poly. It's a site more than that now. What do you all think? Aside: He skillfully guides the thread back towards academic debate, and away from utter filth.
Look you old fart - just because the biggest thrill you had when you were young was kiss chase. Don't try and put the youth of today off a good old game of 'Rodeo'. I agree though that A Levels are too easy - seriously not hard to get A's
At the risk of veering calamitously back towards filth, don't underestimate my abilities in this zone. I'm not known as the Hammerhead for nothing and I can provide proof sources (sauces). Just ask LuvGonzo........................
I didn't even know you could get A*'s. Here's an idea. Rather than bring in a higher grade, why not actually try setting a paper that requires high levels of intelligence to achieve a top grade? I think a lot of it comes down to society's increasing unwillingness to brand young people as failures. Nonsense imo. If people aren't successful in their examinations, if they have anything about them, this should serve as motivation to go out and make the best of what abilities they possess, academic or otherwise. This "everyone's a winner" perspective that we seem to have really isn't doing anyone any favours.
It's not easy to explain without getting moderated. However, I have a capacious foreskin which I can pull into the shape of a hammerhead shark's head. I need this to accomodate what lies beneath when gorged with blood. To Ze, Luv and Bozz. That was a purely clinical description of the organ in question
merry. The systen when I was at that age accomodated the skills and abilities of most kids in the education system. Those with academic ability went to grammar school, having passed the '11 plus'. Those who failed went to either secondary moderrn (blue and white collar and trades) and or technical school (trades). Those who went to the latter two had the opportunity to move up to grammar school in the lower 6th year if they showed later academic development. So basically, everyone was correctly accomodated. This may sound right wing, but it's not. I'm a socialist and the system worked. I'm certainly not belittling the effort kids put in now to excel at exams - my oldest is just about to start her final year at university and my youngest is awaiting her GCSE results, but where are the hands-on engineers etc these days. I know a lot of people from the secondary modern near me who are a hell of a lot richer than I am. University isn't the be all and end all. Rant over. PS United stink - back on topic!
They still had the 11 plus in Northern Ireland until very recently. Even now, the grammar school system still exists and they have entrance exams in place of the old transfer test. I'm in favour of academic selection, personally. NI consistently outperformed the rest of the UK whilst the transfer test was still there and that trumped any argument for its removal imo. As has been pointed out, failure in that test isn't by any means a death knell to hopes of doing well academically anyway. Those who have the ability and work hard will still likely perform more than adequately in later exams.
