I'm so happy you find it funny, honeybun, I do anything to entertain you, hmmm?

EDIT: Hello Nippy, how are you?

He he...Must go to bed all

CE and Dottie, I will sort out PMs tommorow, and reply to the parenting thread. I promise. Goodnight my lovelies.

@Frogus: I see what you mean, and the absurdity of the situation. I do hope you can motivate yourself to optimise your results, since it really it important

As loathe as I am to admit, GCSE results are only really critical if you wish to go to an exclusive 6th Form, College or further educational institution other than University. A lot of places do not require incredibly high results, typically laying around the 5-8 C's or above region.

Still, @ Frogus, don't take that as an excuse to doss. I did, and I came out with 4 A's, 4 B's and a C. I should have done better than that, a lot better. Work hard now, make yourself feel good about them and then you will carry on with a good work ethic into future endeavours.

Aah, I'm back.

*Sips Guiness*
So how are y'all? While I get my bearings set on this place...

Goodnight, sweet Frog, talk to you later.

*attaches label to Dottie*

This is Dottie, he is extremely cynical. He is something of a cross between the Grinch and Eeyore (feel free to expand), but with a sharper tongue...

Fancy a drink Dottie?

Not at her expence, she didnt lie when she said she was a shameless exhibitionist.

And I wouldnt describe myself as cynical, but i have understood that thats the impression people tend to get.

A drink would be nice, for example the one Caernorhabditis posted in the drink thread.

Edit: night frog.

I am quite good thank you CE, my A-levels are proceeding well, and I will *hopefully* end up with grades of ABC (History, Law and Information Technology respectively). I'm hoping for a place to read History at Bristol Uni. Kam's there, so that should be interesting!

@ Boy, I'm good thanks my man, and you? I noticed in your profile you hail from Vermont. I am glad to say that when I visited Canada during the summer, I got to visit Calgary and found the place to be pretty damn great. Recommend a visit to Vermont?

Get Nippy to make it.

Be nice to Boy....

And to kick conversation off - Anyone speak Newspeak?

Boy · Post by **Boy** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:12 pm

Bye, *xox* see you

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:14 pm

See you Frogus and Dusky, a good evening to you both!

Newspeak? Being what?

Hey Dottie, how are you doing, oh vampiric thrall?

Boy · Post by **Boy** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:15 pm

I do! I speak newspeak!

~Translation: Ever read the book 1984 by George Orwell? It's the twisted form of english they speak there~

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:15 pm

orwell newspeak?

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:16 pm

@Nippy: To use on of my favourite phrases - Im alive and well.

Boy · Post by **Boy** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:16 pm

Yup. Good book, I might add.

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:18 pm

hm, seems i was right, and no, i don't speak it ecause i last read it about 2 years ago, and i have never used it conversationally

Boy · Post by **Boy** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 4:19 pm

I do sometimes... very confusing, but fun.

Ahah, so you are one of those people that don't like to be asked how they are, so reply minimistically or strangely to discourage the practice? If I remember rightly, our friend CE also carries out this practice.

I love Animal Farm. I have an illustrated copy, and it is quite delightful to read it again after a little while. One of my preferred pieces of literature.

Muhuahahaha...I dossed and came out with a pathetic 6 A*, 4 A and a B. Don't worry frogus, you'll do fine. The mocks are often harder than the real exams...all of my teachers expected at least a grade's improvement.
