Default Congratulations to Tony De Wonderful!

I'm sure you'd all like to join me in congratulating one of our own in getting a grade C in his Sociology GCSE this week!

Well done Tony!

History and art are interesting choices for one who can do Maths? Is there a planned university course with these in mind? Many schools can get you maths A level in lower sixth too, not worth dossing about if she is brainy.

Yes, an eclectic choice,

well she is very good at maths and enjoys it too (which is helpful)

But also strong on languages A*s in Spanish and German

History is a bit left field, and Art is a passion too, really hard work to get an A* in Art - her exam work was simply stunning

But Essentially John, they are facilitator subjects required for Oxbridge and the tier one uni's (Russell Group)

I suspect a languages/maths degree

The scarey thing is she is the least academic of my 5

Yes but that is all because you are part of the bourgeois elite. You, and your children have benefited from the state sponsored protection of the banks and house prices. As a result you pat yourself on the back for your middle class aspirational goals but these have only been achieved by sucking money like a vampire from the poor. (the bedroom tax for example)

Oxbridge is elitist and the only reason anybody would want to go there is to make themselves feel superior to somebody else who has got exactly the same degree.







Well this was TDW thread after all


Seriously though, congratulations. You must be very proud, I know I would be

So only science subjects are really worthy then John. That's a bit chauvanistic.

What else do you expect from a bourgeois elitist doctor who belongs to a tax funded monopolised guild??

I wonder if he realises that his BMA subscriptions have forced up healthcare costs for all of us?

That was quite droll. Not least because there's some truth to it!

Even the names are elitist.

What's wrong with calling them Kyle, Connor, Jordan, Chardonnay, Brandon, Courtney etc?

Hmmm, do I call them pretty and look like some old perv or do I just say "nice girls?" And hope that's okay?!

I think it's only one kid there in two different shots, unless they're Hodgy's twins.

Lovely child there, Hodgy. I like her T-shirt print as well.
