I will soon have a rather large sum of money.
Somewhere in the region on £800.
Now I am taking my girlfriend to Paris, buying a fridge (possibly the little one from SR) and adopting a loris from London Zoo.
But that leaves me with about £500 at least to spend, if not £600.
So should I get an Xbox?
I already have Splinter Cell on GC and any mulitformat games I would just buy on that.
Should I use some of my money on an box?

I wouldn't touch ICT with a hundred foot pole.
Too much bloody coursework; takes over your life.

Did Duke of Edinbourough bronze award but I took up Boxing and played Sunday League football so I didn't really have time to do anything else. I stoppde playing Sunday League but I am going back to an open age team next season.

I have never been really interested in joining the Air Cadets or anything along those lines. Strangely enough though I am very interested in joining the Marines. I always rise to an occassion and I feel the officers course is just what I am looking for.

We was forced to do RE at our school - It was compulsory apparently.

And ICT is the boringest subject ever. Did you two do ICT?

You just have to sound like you know what you're talking about.
Like English in a way. I managed to develop a technique in English where you have one point and just say it in various different ways to make it look like the same point, and then link it all up, which is easy because it's all the same point.

I was on the short course aswell. Short course rocks!

There was stupid statements like

"If you have a religous wedding you'll stick together forever"

I soooooooooo insulted the examiner for that. Eek - Maybe I was a little too harsh.

RS is a load of bull anyways - You just make a load of crap up and you get good marks for it.

You in the CCF or anything Ali?
I used to be an RAF cadet. I got to fly a plane and, strangely, sail a boat, as well as shoot some guns. I think I could probably still do a 7 point check on an SA80. What a rubbish rifle that is.

I didn't do RS because I didn't want to have to do huge essays, and I know a lot of the stuff anyway.
So I ded DT instead.
Oh what a mistake. I failed that for sure. I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to be doing in the exam.
I hope I did okay in Physics. I did that exam without a calculator. Clever of me.

I have got my heart set on the Marines though so I will enrole on the officers course after doing my A Levels. 5 GCSE's A - C and 3 A Levels are the requirements. I have passed 7 of them I think but the others I aren't too sure about.

RS is pathetic.

"Why did Jesus ride in on a donkey?"

Answer:

"His car ran out of petrol"

I was destined to fail before I entered. In a top set I was the only person doing the short course. I didn't even know if God was a Christian!

I remember the end of year RS exam in year 9.
I made up my own cult and got full marks. Unfortunately it counted for noting as I didn't really answer any of the other questions properly.
Oh well.
The cult was about people who made their own wings and jumped off clffs to try and fly towards the sun.
