No, but in fairness
no one in my entire school got above a B that year. Not even the guys doing 5 A levels and getting As in all of them. Don't know what happened there really, seems everyone dropped a mark on their predicted.

I got a B in physics (if I'd done any course work it'd probably have been an A) and failed maths.

Coincidentally, 16-18 I started doing a lot of acid :P

ah, can't have been the drugs*
It must be a conspiricy ;)

*in fairness I turned up to a couple of my A-levels stoned out of my mind and it didn't do me any harm :P

Ah I'm not blaming the drugs
just I did really well at GCSE level and then got very interested in sex, drugs and rock and roll (and all night illegal dance parties) and stopped seeming to being that interested in thermodynamics.

I regret it slightly but a youth wasted isn't a wasted youth :)

fair enough
I didn't have those problems until my final year so didn't fuck myself up too badly. well, not academically anyway ... ;)
