Heheh. I'd imagine not, no. Still they might admire you for your principals...?
Ah balls would they. There's no place for principals, much less morals, when you enter the machine. Or so Naomi Klein would have me believe.

He will. He's everywhere. Like God. Only unable to grow a beard.
Reminds me of an interview I had a couple of months back - I got into a big debate with one of the people interviewing me. I held my own pretty well, he was a very smart guy, but in hindsight I don't think extensively disagreeing with the guy you want to pay you lots of money is a particularly good idea.
Have a good one Chips, even though you'll probably not see this now.

Heheheh. A friend of mine launched into his "advantages and disadvantages of boarding school" spiel when asked about whether he prefers the countryside to the city. Quite a long spiel at that.

It'll be alright in the end. I suprised a GCSE in German is still worth anything, I mean, you get a piece of paper that, for all intensive purposes says, "I know a few German words". It doesn't actually hold any weight. Waste. Of. Time.
Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Cya in 14 days RBS.
Edit: And you, too, Dr. Duck. :D CHANGE YOUR NAME BACK! :D

Twice.
Still ended up with an A though.
Which proves GCSEs are either getting easier, or were always pish.

Heh.
You'd be surprised at how close the words for cack and cake are in German. I certainly was. The worst part of it was that, as she was examining me at the time, my teacher couldn't tell me what I'd just said. I realised from the look on her face and attempts to stifle laughter that I must've said something pretty embarrassing. I was just hoping that I hadn't laid claim to any STD's or inadvertantly told her I wanted to rag her.
I laugh about it now of course.
Laugh and cry.

Wow, and I thought I messed up my Oral. :D I said, "Ich Verlasse Nicht" instead of "I don't understand". I beleive it means, "I don't leave".
Genius. :D

I will....

Heheh. German'll be my lowest grade without a shadow of a doubt. I ballsed up royally in my oral. Got fairly nervous and said I eat s### instead of cake. Whoopsy.
