finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, June 28 2003 10:26 Profile #23 You should see the systems in Scotland! Not only do they number years from S1-S6 for high school and P1-P7 for primary school (don't ask), but some of the grading I've seen is really bad! In the Standard Grade Exams (which I've just finished) you get a grade from 1-7, 7 being a fail, but the odd thing is you have to take a seperate exam for sets of two grades (i.e. one exam will get you a 1 or a 2, the next will get you a 3 or a 4 and the third (for dunces only) gets you only a 5 or a 6). Thank God they're changing it to a more sensible A-C system, with one exam! Two years ago, however, it was even worse! It was a 1-10 system where 10% of the year would get each grade. Of course everyone hated it, even the teachers, for they spent half the time complaining about it. It may seem sensible just looking at it but it's not. In the easier exams the cutoffs for a grade 10 were like 80%-81%, a blatant "1" or "A" in any other exam! They stillhaven't got rid of it, although it's 1-8 now... -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!) Eat pie!

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, June 28 2003 08:50 Profile #67 Y'know, I totally agree with Ed and Morgan and anyone else who say they don't like big trends. I absolutely *despise* those kinds of things. I just can't help liking the books of Harry Potter though. Everything else (merchandise, films, other random crap like that...) I just hate. It's like some other things, such as Big Brother, on TV. Total, utter boringly stupid crap, but I still watch it. And whoever it was who posted before me (began with an A), I think you should read His Dark Materials again now anyway just to see if it makes a difference (How old are you?). -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, June 26 2003 08:57 Profile #48 I think that if anyone thinks that Harry Potter is the work of the devil, or if they start worshipping Satan or practicing the occult having just read it, they are STOOPID!! No exceptions. (I can take people not liking it, but only if they've read it) (And you'd have to be pretty stupid to believe that the London Times is a real newspaper. Just the Times. Bet someone going to come along now and prove me wrong and then I'll be the stupid one.) Though I have come across some pretty obsessive sites in the past, listing, for instance, every single word different in the American and British versions (kinda weird really, things like "trash can" and "bin" or "cine-camera" and "video camera" and even "shan't" and "won't". But it is true that an American might not understand half the stuff in the original version. Even talking to an American you don't understand half of what each other says sometimes) Anyway, how come Dragyn Bob had a book with at least 160 more pages?

Leave it for a coupla hours and come back and it's already grown by 10 posts. (mostly by FB and augumented slith) IC: Wise man is left cringing in his corner for a throughout the day, despite repeated apologies by the Drayk (who only really wanted him out of the corner to breathe fire at him), and offerings of bananas from the orangutan (orange furry thing?), who was frankly just scary, and Shaper's repeated conjurings made it no better for him. Many cheered when they realised that Wise man would be there all day, and some speculate on whether he run away at night, the preferable version for many, and some made bets on how long he would stay. -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!)

Several other Spidwebbers rush to help him. After a few minutes they finish searching and leave the carnage unvictorious. Blight: Maybe there's pie in his cave.

If You Had To Be Stranded On A Desert Island... in General
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, June 15 2003 02:10 Profile #52 [i]NO!![/i] Don't even think about leaving me (or anyone else for that matter) on a desert island with any of these people!!! Partly because with just about any of these people the result would be too messy. Especially if two of them were put on the same island. Whoever thought of this topic (begins with an N...) should be shot. Or at least beaten. Preferably with a stick.

The Flawless Proof in General
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, May 15 2003 12:54 Profile #31 Better version of what I think Lt Sullust was trying to say: First, everyone knows that women take up time and money: *Women=TimeMoney And that Time is money: Time=Money Therefore, Women=(Money)^2 And since money is the root of all evil, Money=~(Evil) therefore, Women=(~(Evil))^2 simplifying to: Women=Evil Then, Saunders=Women so Saunders=Evil (I used a little squiggle to represent square root. It used to be a tick but that came up as a ?) I'd just like to stress that I hold nothing personally against either women or Saunders. I got that proof from a friend.

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, May 4 2003 08:10 Profile #0 I just want to see how many the boards can come up with. Me and my friend did this during a chemistry lesson on a piece of paper, so I do have a couple, at least. They have to be bad, by the way. No good chat-up lines. Here goes... –I lost my phone number, can I have yours? –Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money? –I really fancy you, so how about it? (For anyone not Scottish, there's an advert there which has this guy who practices the perfect way of introducing himself to Sarah, goes to a nightclub and gets drunk, then goes over and says "Sarah, I really fancy ye, so how about it, eh?" It was funny at the time, anyway.) -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!) Eat pie! BADGER!
