"Bullett..."

... sorry to bother you. Do you know if the estate behind Town Street actually has a name? The one opposite the park, top end.

I've no idea where to begin to find this out so you seemed like a good place to start.

Thanks.

Why? Some people are academically intelligent but lack common sense. Others have loads of common sense but fail all exams. That don't make them any less worthy of life. Others have no common sense and still fail exams, but they are still people and everyone is clever in their own ways.

Also, what do you class as stupid?

Tis a punishment truly fitting the crime i feel. When you're Prime Minister that can be your first decree

Stupid people should be ground up into food, though.

I see your point to, i can see how people can be annoyed having to work hard to achieve good grades and paying for their courses just to see someone who can throw a ball through a hoop with alarming regularity get everything paid for them. But those people have to work just as hard as well

I totally see where you're coming from, and if somewhere offered me a rugby scholarship I'd go there, but meh.

Sorry :-D

I adore the way threads go off on a tangent :D

My grades were more than capable of getting me into the University however you try funding your Uni fees and living costs on your own in a foreign country. The scholarship allowed me to achieve a dream i wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Now if hitting a ball with a stick or throwing a ball through a hoop better then most people gets me a free education and a great life experience in another country i'm going to happily take it and not feel guilty about it. I make money for the Uni by helping the team gain success which can then be reinvested into the Uni for the other 'better' students benefit who have got in based on just their grades

But why? It's not like anyone ever made a career out of hockey, no matter how good they were at it. I wangted to be a professional wrestler and being English shattered my dreams. *Crys*

We used to play hocky even if it was cold. I got picked for the school team too! go me!
