In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Haha. That's pretty good! The Valedictorian of the class ahead of me closed his speech with this: "Mind what you have learned. Save you it can." In his best imitation Yoda voice (I was there with the band).

The odds of successfully navigating a GCSE exam are approximately 3,720 to 1!

But in all seriousness, good luck

Aren't you in year 10 Reliant?, if so, that's annoying, as I have the exact same exam this morning.

but anyway, good luck.

I know you were kidding Mikey, don't worry.

But in all seriousness, I have no problem with people using me for my smarts, especially when I get paid for it.

And yes Mark, it worked fine once it was back together. :)

However it didn't fix anything, however I'm trying to find a replacement for her since I couldn't fix it.

And I also figured out yesterday that I would be very good at being a car salesmen, don't worry all you cars salesmen out on here, I don't plan on going into it, it's just something I would be very good at.

Don't do it!

Auto sales is an insidious, soul-sucking way to spend your life. It breaks you down, batters your soul, and drains your life only to replace it with a simmering vile mix of ennui and subsurface bitterness - all the while getting its filthy talons into you so that despite your best intentions, you remain. I can think of no other business in which the people who voluntary come to you for help also automatically come with the idea that you are trying to cheat them and rank on the evil scale somewhere between Stalin and Satan. No matter how honest you are, your customers will always believe you are lying and cheating - and accuse you of doing so - while lying ourtageously themselves, and them blaming you for working off the misinformation which they provided.

Don't forget the soul-crushing disappointment of all the times when you do everything right, but still lose a deal because these "people" lied to you about their credit or buying power, or even just about their intentions. You can make the deal - but if it can't get financed, you don't get paid.

*EDIT* There is a reason that, in the first couple of months after I was laid off, I turned down four job offers in auto sales.

As I said, I would never go into it. Don't worry Mikey.

It can certainly be lucrative, but there are dangers.

(Besides, the real thieves are the service writers.)

I on the other hand have probably failed, I sucked at the poetry and didn't do much better on the novel section either ( we did 'Of mice and men').

When first looked at the question my brain fell out, and I may just shoot my anthology with a high powered rifle.

In other slightly related news, Tomorrow I have a chemistry GCSE exam, which I'm feeling extremely confident about. 8)

Exams without question are easy. It's the ones with questions you want to watch out for. :wink: Good luck.
