    Or, indeed, your spelling of 'grammar'.

    I should imagine that anyone now posting on this thread is going to think twice about their spelling and grammar

    There's far too many pendants hanging round.

    Not to impune on AmazingTrade at all here (don't take offence - it's not meant!) but around only 10% of the population are really suited to Uni courses. In 1991 when I was taking A Levels, our Vice Principle claimed that anyone doing A Levels is in the top 2% of the populous, so I reckon 10% max is about right.

    As for spelling/grammar - with M$ products you don't need it! (kidding, but you can see how most people think with this!). My view with maths (because I'm crap at it - and that's why I got a shockingly-bad degree result (hey, it WAS an Honours/joint degree though :)) is that no-one needs maths because that's what calculators/computers are for - I did 2 art subjects and 1 science to do a science Uni course!). Of course, you DID need maths to do our course, and me being rubbish at it (partly because I designed my own systems for multiplication/division because I found times tables boring when I was little - so can't even LEARN anything complicated now - oops) plus a certain university near London's bums on seats mentality nearly cost me my 3 years' Uni course and shitloads of debt. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have done an arts course and said "sod it".

    Back on topic though, AT - don't sweat it - you'll get there but you need to step back and chill - panicking fuxxs you up in the final year - I speak from experience! Just put the old chip fan back on, set the CPU clock back to standard, have a day off, then get back into it. Don't sit in front of your monitor and loose it, like I nearly did - OK?

    When I stress about stuff, I remember that my Dad served four years in the Navy in WW2 doing convoy escort in the North Atlantic, and that three ships he was on were torpedoed by U-boats. Whilst he was away at sea, his first wife and two of his children died. Kind of puts things into perspective.

    does that qualify as mass debating in public?
