    No this is Scottish Highers. It's like a tiny step below A-levels I think. Next year I do 3 Advanced Highers which are a bit above A-levels. 5 A-levels is a bit extreme no?

    I've known some people to do 5-levels, but it's the most that's possible (within reason) unless you're fluent in other languages and can do them without breaking sweat. In my opinion though, it's a complete waste of time, since universities are only interested in three.

    Anyway, nice one - awesome results! Fingers crossed for the uni applications now I guess, I know it's meant to be tougher than ever as things stand. Whatever happens though, Oxbridge certainly isn't the be-all and end-all, and with results like that I'm sure you'll end up at a top uni.

    Very nice results!

    *shudders knowing i get my results in 2 weeks time*
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Well, it's better than King's I suppose, if that's all you're looking for

    What's wrong with it? It's not Sidney Sussex, of course!

    Re: Victory!

    Jesus is consistently top 10 I thought?
    I know you have a bit of a loyalty to Sidney Sussex but, joking aside, it's not a bad college is it? I get the impression there's some deep dark secret which you aren't telling me
    My grandad went there and he turned out alright
