    I think you have raised a very interesting and worrying point there! Is EE raising kids/teens to think that is how one acts/should act?

    Nah; (some) women have always acted like that.

    Interestingly in this context, I'm currently reading a book written in 1911. The author complains that children are overweight because their parents stuff them full of chocolate and cakes the whole time, and that working-class men are almost without exception drunken hooligans. Le plus ca change!

    You gave her an opening and are surprised that she took it? :confused:

    That things are so adversarial that you considered that before giving the opportunity says a lot too.

    AT, it's good to talk. And you can be quite amusing.

    However, perhaps in future consider showing the same integrity toward your relationship as you do toward your client and not broadcasting every detail of it to the www?

    Surely 0.1% of a first requires a resit at least, if not being asked to leave?

    A first is 70% or higher, so 0.1% of 70% is a pretty low mark!

    She sounds like a spoon tell her to **** off.

    In future when someone asks you what you are doing, say 'work stuff, its boring, you carry on watching eastenders love'

    etc.

    Although clearly you tantalised her with some information, which is pretty poor form if it is confidential, I am glad you are not retrieving my emails.

    Why not? George and Weedon Grosmith's classic has been in print and selling well for over one hundred years.

    I never gave her anything. There is no way I would.

    Bob she got 0.1% of 70% e.g 69.4% if it was .5 it would have been a 1st.

    Blimey, they never gave me such an accurate mark for my degree, but then I got a Desmond so maybe they thought I wouldn't care :D .

    I have a friend with a Japanese GF and he is trying to pick up a bit of the language. So far he has been reading some of her Japanese chick magazines. Now that must be quite an amusing way to learn! I bet he knows ‘5 proven ways to attract that bishonen’! :D

    Still having troubles AT?

    I think you should stop watching Jerry Springer. Your parlance is suffering terribly. ;)
