Winging It
Don Spang says: I once found myself winging it in a job interview and somewhat exaggerated my technical experience in the field of mainframe computer operations. 24 years later, I'm still there. Ever had to improvise to get by? Tell us you tales of MacGyver-type genius.

A friend of mine, who'd managed only a D at Psychology A Level and nothing else, managed to bullshiit himself onto a Polytechnic Law course by criticising the interviewers' technique.
This was back when Polys were newish and they'd offer places to people with poorish results to fill the places up, but even so, my friend's s prospects were dismal.
They asked him what he'd learned on the Psychology course so he went on about how intimidating 'the 3 interviewers-one interviewee format' was, and how the candidate's strengths could be better brought out with a different set-up.
He got in and eventually took a 3rd, and is now a high-up court official. I'm not bitter.

Well collages and uni's are there to make cash ,pay and your in. Worst i've heard is from a mate who was a lecture he had a Japanese student who couldn't speak English.(Seemingly its not unusual for the jerk offs to be sent to UK). She passed, was nursed all the way through, as the cash kept coming.
in fairly new so it interesting to find a few trolls...thanks.

It's "college" and "you're" you pointless fuck-end.
How can you tell made-up stories about the poor language skills of imaginary Japanese students when you can't speak the fucking language yourself? Do people puke when you walk past? I bet the fucking do. Your poor fucking parents.
