No nothing about Engineering? Going to be an NR apprentice? You are the perfect sterotype

 

[68]

My lowest grade were Ds, but I have my 6 A to Cs

 

[class 313]

I want to do something like depot work or Pway...

Yes, but you only need 4 C's. I think I must be the only one in it for the railway job - everyone else I met on the various days just wanted the money! (Someone didn't know what sleepers were... oh dear)

Regarding Engineering, its the first (and last) year our school ran it, as there was no way you could fit that work into 1 1/2 years. Pretty much everybody did badly in it! And not to mention not having an computer access for quite a period in year 11, and the technicians making work deliberately disappear.

That scheme would have been ideal if you wanted to go into track, signaling or overhead/electrical maintenance/installation etc. Plus its damn good pay too.

I wanted to go into depot work for example, but I think age is a problem, plus theres nothing local to me and I couldn't find anything!

Bedford is near you...

 

[D306]

so instead, he decides to do signalling at Bletchly


(more delays on the way )

 

[FusionRail]

Ahh we have shifted to Rugby now!

And I didn't even think of Bedford (too late now I suppose)

 

[BJMorley]

hmm, I have to wait until next term to get mine, They didn't open before 10:30am. which is a bit strange if you see on the news all these places elsewhere opening at around 8:00am.

[class 313]

Ours didn't open until 1030.

Brandon

Ours was at 10:00, but you haven't even done your proper GCSE's yet Brandon!

 

[BJMorley]

I had to go out, yesterday, but they didn't post the times, or when to collect them, like most normal people would do. Oops, am I implying intelligence? I must be shot!!

Brandon

Nope, no intelligence there. I agree with the shooting though.

 

[Beaker]

[class 313]

Using stuff I used against you months ago, how original

 

[Beaker]

Feeling less smug now I hope

 

[class 313]

Feeling less smug now I hope

I was never smug about my results

 

[Tom B]

Results are available to centres at 0001 the day before "results day", and can be given out to students from 0600 on results day. If centres want to hand them out later, that's up to them.

 

[Nick W]

I was most upset that my sister, the famous Ali, beat me with 8 A*s and 3As.

Well, at my lower school - people as young as year 7/8 are taking GCSE's - and some of them aren't even clover really... My sister for example - sisterly love and all that - but really. Shes stupid as a board, and she would have been taking her RE, Geography and History GCSE's, ICT two year course and starting her Maths as well... Two years before me, and in some cases - 3 years. I think it's just schools wanting them out of the way with, and being able to concentrate on other things really...

Oh dear.
