I know some lads who I used to bmx with when I was a young lad and they are on the X Games all the time now and are millionaires from it,

so the boarding could do him well....

Default Re: How did you do in school....

is till remember things from school


in grade 1 .. (this one i don't remember)
in grade 2 i was (19th)
in grade 3 i was (10th)
in grade 4 i was (5th)
in grade 5 i was (4th)
in grade 6 i was (4th)
in grade 7 i was (2nd)
in grade 8 i was (2nd)
in grade 9 i was (4th)
in grade 10 i was (2nd)
in grade 11 i was (4th)
and i repeated grade 12 for some reason (makes me feel that i am a loser)

i can say that alot of changes happend in my life after during the last 4 years in school ... which effected my education negatively sometimes but contributed sometimes positively to my personality.

at college ... wasn't the kind of hard working students who study very well.. i managed to pass and i regret two things..

chosing the wrong major... and not studying hardly at what i studied.

Default Re: How did you do in school....

I was rubbish, had incredibly.....erm, hang on....oh aye! Incredibly short attention span, despite both my parents being teachers I got 2 GCSE 'B' grades and then loads of D's and stuff, I was never arsed to be honest,

left school, went onto a YTS for 2 years then worked my way through printers, repro house and then into advertising agencies and to where I am now, not a massive job but a job I love that pays me more than twice what I was on back home, to be honest it's the best job I've ever had, and my old workmates are well impressed with it, so things have worked out well in the end.

Now obviously we won't get into the U.S. Navy since we're not American and possess (between us) an ounce of common sense. But you can buy a Mig 23 or Mi-24 cheaply though .
