Yup, congrats mate
Played everyone. I got MPP - a mediocre result for a mediocre guy
I got a D and an E when I did AS, and got PPP on my college course. You guys all did better than me, congrats
Today I got so sunburnt I look like a boiled lobster.
When I left the house it was raining...

Perks of working at a wholesaler, bummed that I can't transfer to Southampton, this job would have been cushty for uni
[QUOTE=lordofdafood;50906854]I got similar and got into uni and graduated with a 1st, Moving onto a masters now at a different uni. During my degree I manage to get a placement year (You apply for them like proper jobs) in a large multinational company, they didn't even look at my grades apart from what I got in first year of uni. People look at my grades but the placement year and the company name pretty much over shadows it, as I found out when I applied for graduate jobs (I had offers but decided to turn them down for the masters in a different field)
Bad A-Level results doesn't mean its game over, sure you can't get into the top unis but if you keep going you can still get places.[/QUOTE]
This is actually mad encouraging, thanks for posting this
By some miracle Coventry offered me an unconditional one day before they got my (awful) results so that is probably the luckiest I will ever get. While this does mean I will be an hour away from my girlfriend and we won't live together like we planned, and the town won't be even close to as good, I still get to have a shot at a good future which is awesome. It's really lucky, some of my friends didn't get what they wanted and are in the shit tornado that is clearing. Since I'm doing Economics, I never would've got Econ in clearing. So very bittersweet results
Bit bummed out Plymouth only offered me Computing instead of Computer Science, although admittedly I was 60 UCAS Points below my offer :(

Universities see the results about a fortnight before you do IIRC
Anyone got experience with remarks?
My bro is amendment he did much better in a computing paper (got a C in the paper, was expecting like 90%+). Unless there was a major screw up which doesn't seem plausible we think maybe they only marked half his exam (he uses a laptop and typed some + hand did some stuff), or he just tanked it and had bad exam technique..
Kinda doesn't affect his uni place as he's got his backup and he missed his firm due to another subject, but its more principle to him. Would be interesting to see the outcome, hopefully he'll heat back soon about the remark.
With all of the A-level talk and rejections I'm amazed I got into my uni 3 years ago.
Manchester Uni wanted AAA an I ended up with ABBC.
If you guys don't go to uni I wouldn't worry. All you'll miss out on is £40-50k worth of debt and 3 years of liver damage.
For the peeps off to uni (or anyone in general) I would highly suggest recording anything expensive on [url]https://www.immobilise.com/[/url] If in the event anything goes missing IE stolen it helps you quickly alert police and pawn shops and they can trace items back to you easier should they come across them.
I have all the serial numbers for every PC part recorded, Also marked everything with a UV pen and holo tamper stickers (They have individual numbers so they also get recorded and also acts as a visible deterrent)
I'm 23 now, fuck. I joined FP when I was 19. My god what am I doing with my life.
On another note, I got fired on the 5th which was annoying. I thought it was going well but apparently not. Whatever, I learnt a lot so.
So when I ordered that razor, I emailed them cause I forgot to put the customisation on.
They said they closed the order, and made a new one with my customisation.
But apparently they updated the first order, then made a new one.
So I now have two razors with my name on.

First year was transferrable from Computing to Comp Sci (if you did well) when I was first year.

That being said, they revamped the curriculum completely last September so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

amateur, I joined FP when I was 15 and now I'm 21. I've spent over a quarter of my life on here
some people went further and have been here for like 11 years which is insane to think about

I've been here since 2005. I was a 14 year old weirdo nerd. Now I'm a 25 year old weirdo who isn't afraid of girls

It is insane to think I've been coming here for 11 years.
I don't suppose one of you awesome lads could do me an avatar at all please?
I had no idea what i want other than something orange/yellow.
I try and make one myself, but when i do that, i get bored of it super quickly. And i normally end up liking things people make.
As you can see, my current one is shit and didn't do what i wanted it to.
I'd appreciate it alot! Thanks!

I think I was born in Facepunch like the One. Or maybe I've just gone mad from loneliness.

Fuck. Reading "The One" reminded me of Microsoft trying so hard to push people to refer to the Xbone as "the one".
So glad it's Friday. I'm not leaving my house, its the first weekend I've had in about a month where I don't have to drive 400 miles or go to a wedding or be stuck in australia
