Failed all mine, apart from biology... Just think though, If you faked your results and enrolled at a uni, how the f*k are they going know, that is unless they check the 1Ks of results of puples that apply, which I doubt very much.

Go for a trade - plumbers and carpenters paying £70-80k in the NWest at the moment, the housebuilders can't get enough of them (brickies are on less but still £40-50k). Brickying (is this a word ? haha) is bloody hard work - I'd go for the more skilled plumber if I was you

Good luck
