Ben

Might level the playing field...

Now that's an idea; tilt the pitch, that might help as well!

I might go and have a word with the ball boys.......

@chalie: Thanks, just this semester to get my overall results for this year, then final year next year. *gulp*

@Inver: Clever done?! Haha, that's a new one - thanks.

Well done Ben ....see all that worrying earlier for nothing

Haha I'm always warning for nothing! `

bleah

Get well soon

Yes, hope you feel better soon Ben x

it is good fun though, being nosey and looking at other folks shelves....lol.

I have added you ben!

It is indeed Inver. Awesome, Karen!

me too!

Good luck Ben xx

You too! x

And to you Ben! X

same to you!

Merry Christmas, have a lovely day

hope your results are good ones for you Ben...merry crimbo

They're not going to be as good as I want, but with the stress I've been under the last couple of months I'm thankful for ANY results for a platform for semester two. But thanks anyway, Merry Christmas right back atcha'.

Glad your exams are over and you got through them ok Ben. My son's start on 7th Jan so he still has it all to go through!

how early is early?

I agree! Good luck, Ben! x

It was at 9am. Ordinarily wouldn't mind but it was a fair walk and set somewhere I'd never been before (hence hard to find too). Ah well no point complaining now!

Thanks for the well wishes Tiger!

You all always have more faith than me, that's a given. I appreciate it though.

Glad your feeling better Ben

Glad your feeling better Ben

I don't have one. Running on god-knows-what. Uni does this to me, I guess.

I remember an old news story about a study that found that a very small percentage of people can function surprisingly well on little sleep. Can't find it now though

Yeah I've read things about it. Never slept solid hours so I'm probably one of these people.

I'm trying Poppy, one day at at a time, I'm working on it - really am. I'm trying Kylie and Poppy, but I'm not sure I can see it through. Julie, not sure a semester off is wise. I've almost finished this one and then it's second semester of second year. I don't think taking a semester off would be a valuable - I don't think I'd get back into it; I'd let myself go too much.

Just keep plugging along then,Ben . Maybe you're just having a spell of feeling overwhelmed , Hope it passes soon and you get your second wind .

Sorry your feeling so stressed Ben would it help to speak to your tutor about it.

The reading list is just so intense. I study pretty hard and only just staying on top of things.

You need to re-charge your batteries Ben .. the holidays can't come soon enough x

I have exams before the Christmas holidays instead of after this year.. I can't believe it.

48% of them didn't, so you have roughly a one in two chance of getting someone who voted for the other guy.

Yeah .. and they wouldn't be sending me anymore candy at Christmas .. I've got my priorities sorted Wasn't keen on Obama saying USA were the greatest nation on earth though .. all my happy thoughts fled for a few secs.

Some of us didn't vote for either. There are more than two parties in this country.

Yeh me too...I read that wrong too...hope you are ok Ben...!

Don't leave your life Ben .. and don't leave us x we can come to some arrangement can't we?

I meant lead. <_< But haha, thanks for the concern m'lovlies. I'm not leaving the board, I'll probably just be quiet on here (but it's been like that for a while anyway). Inver, I'll be okay soon, just need to get my head fastened on right.

I'm exhausted watching this Ben....Andy can't throw it away surely

He did his best to throw it away, but golly gosh.. he wasn't careful and actually won one of these things.

At last...

I got mine on the third try - and most of the lousy drivers I know passed first time, so don't let it get to you. : )

My son failed his test today, too. Better luck next time, both of you x

Awh, Ooshie, best of luck to him on his next effort. x

Ah, I don't know Chrissy, it's a nerves thing. I can drive I just get myself way too flustered. But hey ho, there's always next time! x

Thanks poppyshake, missed you all too! & thanks Poppy I did indeed! x

Welcome back Ben. Seemed like you were gone for ages.

Seemed like I wasn't gone long enough. I missed this place, though x

Jealous doesn't either .. Hope you have a great time x

Have a fantastic time Ben

Don't forget to send a postcard!

It's cos it's a home games I think people thought that we would be excelling. It's early days and the women are doing well anyway

*shrugs* Gold & silver this morning anyway. I don't know I guess I just enjoy seeing us try.

I think we're doing pretty well. Some of the countries ahead of us have massive populations to call upon. If we do well enough to get more investment into some of these sports, we will reap the dividends in future games. C'mon GB!
