How dare you throw such unfounded accusations around!
Er .... yeah!

Media Studies, Psychology and Spanish.

Spanish! They couldn't pass a GCSE on the language they've been speaking all their life and they're doing an A-Level in another language!

Sorry, I just thought there was something funny/mental about that.

Maybe, but I think the truth may be that FF's fantasy person was a bit quickly thought out.

Part time? Night School? I've just gained a degree in computing despite working full time since I was 18.

Ah right. The cut-off here/now is July 1st.

Yep too right, I did it along with 3 other A Levels - none of us ever had a class in it bar a few on politics, the whole class scored mostly A grades for the exam and coursework, still it's not like we had to go to classes in it, and it was an extra thing to bung on the CV.

I'm sure A-Level General Studies was even more of a joke.
