Went to my AS induction lessons for Maths and Politics & Government.
Maths was as hard I was expecting(I.e challenging but not impossible in the right mindset and with hard study), P&G is a piece of cake as I already know the whole specification (no lie). I'm pissed off it isn't harder.

I reckon you should start a new thread.

Pol-Gov is clearly a made up AS level for pretentious twats like you

(Bazongaloid, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:30, Reply)

Pol-Gov is an important subject to study don't you think?
Even if you're not going to do it you'd want that option for A-Levelers?

In true wanky awful namedrop style,
my brother and I had a lift from them in their van when they played in Kingsworthy Village Hall (a couple of years before they had a record deal). We had to distract the staff in Peter Dominic so they could shoplift some booze (because they were WELL HARD TRAVELLERS) - they got about four cans between them, the hopeless benders.

I might still have a cassette of that gig if you're interested.

lots of fun and the exact crowd I expected (ie, slightly hippy indie kids who used to go to The Zone)

They are way better than this in person. Their cover of Wearing Purple was what got me into Gogol Bordello.

Still enjoying my period of not working. I'm sure it'll get dull soon enough, though. I am currently thinking about going to buy some new fish for the aquarium.

Good stuff.
You keeping your eyes peeled for future employment?
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:48, Reply)

Not at the moment.
It is my intention to have a few weeks off (not even signing on yet). I'll start looking after about a month, though, but I have to be a choosy about applying for posts with certain organisations within 6 months as I may have to pay some of my redundancy back.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:50, Reply)

Really? I didn't know that.
Seems a bit harsh, surely you've earned that redundancy?
Enjoy the time off though.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:52, Reply)

It's if you are employed by an employer
who operates under the principal civil service pension scheme. Bit of a bugger really.

I may sign up with an Agency initially to avoid this potential embuggerance.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:53, Reply)

Ah, ok. That's a massive cunt though.
I found my current jobby-job through an agency and it was all nice and quick.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 14:55, Reply)

If I happen to be placed with a PCSPS employer via an Agency
then they can't touch the money. An ex colleague did this, and it worked out fine for her, plus she was made permanent after ten months. Bingo.
