  1. The A-levels Shitting Yourself Thread.

    No, your right she did work hard to get where she is.

    But I get the hump when people put all this pressure on younger people to get high GCSE grades, and to go on through higher education and stuff.

    Because at the end of the day, it's all down to the individual.

    I know a guy who can't spell/read/write or do anything on an academic level, but he could rebuild any engine you throw at him or hand build you a space frame for a race car. GCSE's, A Levels and AS's are not the end of the world, if you're going to make lots of money and get somewhere in life it's not down to how many tickets you've got it's down to whats going on in your head.

    Just like that Scottish guy from the Dragons Den, he didn't have shit when he was a kid. Got kicked out of school, and got into gangs and stuff like that and now he's one of the largest investors in the country !

    True, why are the government trying to get youngsters to study useless subjects at third-rate universities, instead of trying harder to get more people into the trades etc.

    The target of getting 50% of school-leavers to "university" is ridiculous.

    when? Me and a few mates are locals, just getting into bouldering and wouldnt mind tagging along if you know any routes?

    I'm there now camping in Nant Peris, it's a bit shit 'cos the places in Dinorwig are closed due to filming some movie, but we did a few routes at Bus Stop quarry and had a recce up the Llanberis path routes, but I'm a bit too amateur to start pissing about on multipitch routes a couple hundred feet off the valley floor. The missus has insisted we walk Snowden tomorrow, thankfully I talked her out of Crib Goch!

    Where do you usually boulder? I think we'll be doing some routes on Friday if you fancy it.

    I have not set up a direct debit, just linked a card. However the withdrawel takes 5ish days.

    If you have a linked bank account then it takes 5 -7 days to withdraw. There's no way to get it quicker.

    Why?

    I got mine from there, it showed up the day after I ordered it (Working day).

    It's solid build, I opened it and checked first.

    Fantastic service & spec for the price!

    You seen their feedback? Also their support is 75p a minute.

    Get a Mesh, or a Dell, or something else like that.

    Look on eBay. I got a company to custom build mine for just over that, but they do cheaper ones.

    My spec is AMD 64 Quad Core

    1gb 8100 Graphics

    4gb RAM

    500gb HD

    Oh, and a 22" monitor.

    If you're looking on eBay, avoid a company called Palicomp. And be careful with others too.
