Did you ever consider that the band may not be very good and that scousers may have better taste?
What am I saying?

Mon dieu!

Love the ship, but onslaught of smilies?
I am offended!

*saline drips down cheeks*

They are just me tryin' them out as i have been banished, confined and otherwise detained else where while smilie transition happened!

The band was The*Ataris, but it could've been anyone... the crowd would still be better in Manchester. I wasn't going to go to Liverpool but they put me on the guestlist so I couldn't really say no... and thus I had to endure the dive that is the Lomax for a few hours. Never again.

As for hard work, I wish I knew what it was... I've got an A-level Maths exam on Tuesday, and my recent preparation has involved consumption of alcohol in large quantities...

That sinking ironclad is superb, Wombat. (nothing personal, SG´s 1 and 2)

You could all get your own login with the same name, isn´t it? As long as everyone´s got a different e-mail... But then you would lose some of the magic
Or maybe you can ask MarkG (or whomever) for a favor, so you can have an extra large 3-in-1 avatar.

My brother probably took the same exam as you... he did "Kes" for some reason though. I thought Of Mice And Men was quite a good book, a nice choice to be examined on. When I did that paper though, we got a really nice, straightforward question on the book. Yay!

Wombat designs one for her.

5A, 2B, 2C, but this was before the day of poxy A*

They are easy, but I didn't do as well in those subject which I despised. I really did dislike English Lit; I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with an iguana than have to study that again!

My A-Levels were alright though...but I hated arts subject. Once my history teacher said I would fail all my GCSEs and never get anywhere, but I did alright in the end

Some history teachers are wily old birds, Provost. There may be more ways to motivate a cat than just skinning it! (For your next English lit asignment you can explain why that analogy didn't quite work with ilustrations of lame wit spanning no less than three genres only two of which may be Civ related).

I found "O" levels (the GCSEs of my day) quite the hardest of the exams I took (with the possible exception of land law in the Law Society Part II exams - I mean to this day I wouldn't know a bona fide purchaser for value without notice if he got up and bit me in my darling equities). It was something about the number of subjects plus, of course, the exquisitely tuned laziness of the 16 year old.

I further remark that the maturity and penetration which comes with the advance of years (and the fatherhood of a 16 year old tackling maths to-morrow) discloses the unquestionable fact that it is the parent of offspring attempting exams who goes through far the worse - and is deserving of all the sympathy/holidays/parties etc subsequently going - as compared to those happy persons who merely sit the things.

Hmmm, these exams seem very important and I should not be given the message that laziness is good. Don't go encouraging me that results can come at the expense of no energy.

I don't need any encouraging

I was at a disadvantage in my Maths exam today. I didn't get to see the paper in advance, unlike those cheating cockney bastards...!

Wouldn't have made any difference anyway. It was impossible.

SGs, I may have hit upon a solution to the problem of one avatar for three of you. Whilst reading to my daughter, I noticed several fine pictures that could work for all three. Richard Scarry's books have rat pirates! All you need is a scanner (a quick web search proved fruitless). With one image,

SG1's fondness for agressive rodents is met by the rats themselves,
SG2's admirality is adhered to, as they are on a ship,
SG3's demand for something, how you say, un-civvy can also be met.

I realize that families don't stay in representative government for long periods. Perhaps at the next revolution an image could be uploaded...
