Was this the HGV test? All you need to do is make sure you drink sufficient quantities of alcohol the night before to still be slightly pissed by the time you take the test, you'll pass with flying colours.

[C-Kay]

I will at some point, depends if when i have £980 to waste again

It was a stupid place to put a kerb anyway

What a bummer, to be fair they seem to be making the roads narrower & pavements wider of recent, well near me at least.

This turn was so bloody tight, with a traffic island bang in the middle of it I had a Bus lane to left of me, and a left turn.

That should say Bus lane to the right of me tit.

Aye the Class 1, to be fair my driving yesterday was about as good as a drunk drivers

I want to scream a little. My first task of the working day was to email an 18 page scanned pdf document to someone and, because of the limits of his inbox and the various ways in which I tried to make it smaller or break it up, it took me until 4pm.

Could you not have hosted it on the web and linked to it?

[Latina]

I doubt it. I work as an administrator at a University and although I do edit some of the webpages, I am not able to do anything outside of the limited permissions I have due to the way the software works. All I can do is edit existing pages and upload to a media library.

[Latina]

Oh, and it was a student's application so would have been a bit risky hosting it!

[Yudster]

Would you be happy to mention which university?

[Latina]

St Andrews. I'm the "scholarships lady" there.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can delete this post after 24 hours?

[Yudster]

I know a lad who is there. I was hoping it might be Oxford Brookes, thats where my daughter wants to go and if I could have got an advantage for her by being nice to you, I would have done so!

[Bonanzoid]

Bah St. Andrews! They refused me because I wasn't a rich foreigner. Bastards.

[MK Chris]

Are you sure it wasn't because you weren't good enough...?

You wouldn't be the first to try that, but it wouldn't have worked I'm afraid. I do absolutely everything relating to the scholarships except deciding who gets them.

[Bonanzoid]

Positive. I had over and above the grades needed. I ended up coincidentally meeting a professor who used to work for St. Andrews University and he said that the course I applied for was run for rich foreigners to come in and spend there money in St. Andrews.

I was so pissed off at the time, but now I don't really care. St. Andrews is full of wankers, and I'm not saying the includes you Latina!

International Relations, by any chance?

[Bonanzoid]

Oh shit, I've had a few beers on an empty stomach, that's my excuse Toph!

And yes Latina it was IR. Point proven.

In these days of people getting fired for stuff they wrote on Facebook about their workplace, let me just say I can neither confirm nor deny.

[Bonanzoid]

Haha no worries, as I said it doesn't bother me now. It is slightly crappy that they can get away with such blatant discrimination but I'm happy with my current degree and glad I didn't go to St. Andrews.

[Latina]

I'm glad you're happy. I should speak up for the Uni a smidgen because my degree is from there, but then it was History, which was really good there. The number of toffs did get on my nerves (I was "fortunate" enough to be in the Wills year - complete with suspicious inflation of numbers of American girls - although he did Geography) but I was lucky enough to have a nice mix of kids in my classes, including other comp school ones like me. I hated the IR lot to be honest, but I'm sure they're not all bad really.

I saw this a bit too late, but i could have given you a few pdf-shrinking tips and tricks I've picked up, especially for reducing the file size of scanned documents.
Ah well.

[Munki Bhoy]

Glasgow > St Andrews.

Glasgow > St Andrews.

I was on my way to writing that.

Nice to see a lot of Scots here.

You can still tell me. Although this hasn't happened to me before in the 2 1/2 years I've worked there, I don't want another day like this! It's been so unproductive.
