Probably should have actually tried with RE, especially since my grade is on the same certificate as my English results 8O

I have never been asked for my certificates. Which is a good job, as I have literally no idea where they are and I've moved about a dozen times since.

I was applying for placements and was told I'd need my gcse and A level certificates so have now hunted them down and I think I'm gonna keep them safe now.

That is quite possibly the difference, as I went straight into work.

Both my degree certificates are in frames on my parents' wall :) I think I know where my GCSE and A level ones are...

I also had an "achievement record" even before they gave you one in school, I have all my old "clippings" from the papers etc, all certificates, things I am proud of, like the programs from plays I've been in, old school reports, and courses and stuff I have done since leaving school. (My Pig Butchery one though is on the wall in the hall!)

I only used it in interview twice and it worked both times!

I've got all my important stuff in one of those magazine organiser things.

The Brit awards. My word. Where to start? Imagine the x factor where they've removed all the competitors (with the exception of Wand Erection) and are just having a succession of the guest stars performing their latest singles. Nasty, soulless, corporate shills and it makes me weep.

I can confirm the Brit Awards are the most abysmal thing I've seen for many years. They even went so far as to invent a new award just so they could give it to One Direction.

My mate is still in hospital, still leaking brain juice.

We were meant to be going on a motorbike track event to Spain over Easter (now that is bragging bob, not wasting money on essential maintenance) but he has been told there is no way that can happen. Even suggested as a back up plan to move it back to another event mid May, but they say thats out too. But I've already paid for event, flights and trip insurance so am a bit aggrieved to let it go as a complete loss... Humph.

A wee name change to Scott T Badger sounds like it could be in order.

I can't ride for shit but can always cheer you on from the track-side.

Then we can go get pissed up afterwards.

You never know, we might even get lucky!

Pretty sure you'd look good as my 'brolly-dolly'...

Unless they called it the "useless *" award then it was pointless

I thought the same about that One Direction award.

I haven't watched the whole show yet but Muse were very impressive, as was Robbie and tbh I quite liked Justin Timberlake's performance. James Corden was pretty good as always as well.

Chris Evans was referring to the "Award Invented To Make Sure One Direction Turn Up Award" this morning.

Good luck. Remember Comedy Dave talking about his GCSE courses and grades. He turned out OK. Just remember, if things don't work out as expected, there is always a career in BBC management.
