Excellent!

I failed mine...  noooo:

And me. Still, I went on to a school where I learned self defence and how to play dead, usually in the space of the same 10 minutes.  happy088

TBH (and to p*ss you all off) I passed mine ~ but my father would not allow me to go to the Grammar School because "We can't afford all that extras that go with such schools" so I ended up in an upgraded Secondary (they called it a Tertiary) School on what was known as "The Grammar Course". "Left" of my own accord at fourteen and a half by simply walking out of the gate every morning after registration but was hauled back after six months when they found out that I was bunking off and working in a supermarket. Took my 'O' levels anyway and surpirsed the school by passing them and then walked out again ~ this time to join the RAF as an apprentice (the only way to take A levels was to go onto the Grammar Sixth Form and again Father said "No"). Joining the RAF did enable me to take my A levels though.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

How did that happen? I seem to be in the same box/cage as Pastis.

Passed mine onto secondary school, had to take it again in Northumberland and passed again so got into the local all girls Grammer School, hated it, there was a girl there called Clitorrisse or some such, we had to wear berets and lanyards as well as pleated skirts and blazers, also had to try and learn Latin. noooo: noooo:

You knocked a "]" off the /quote.

Had you passed your 11-plus or gone to public school, you wouldn't have done that.  noooo:

Dunno ~ I can't correct it either. Sorry.
