No, only GCSE.
Still too much work though, eh? I did GCSE graphics.
Yeah, not enough time in the day. Or week.
Graphics is so stupid! It's a pain, it gets in the way of everything else...

I quite liked graphics, but don't remember having to do much homework for it. What have you got to do?
At the moment we're compiling our GCSE project folders. I'm doing promoting the Air Training Corps - I'm just doing the Design ideas and design developments today, on the computer, because I can't draw. My drawing is so bad, it's untrue.
And you chose graphics!?
Yeah, well......
Easy option eh?
No, didn't choose it as a doss, just looked more interesting than resistant materials. Then they went and changed the syllabus, and put a lot more work on the production of the products rather than the actual graphical designing.
Typical. I preferred the designing to the making, that's what graphics is about, IMHO.
We had a teacher who had a massive beard and was bald on top. We called him Mr upside-down head.

Lol, that's cool. Ours is good. He's about 5'1'' but he can still make himself seen, mainly heard. Indistingishable from the year 7s.
You have year 7s in the same school that GCSEs are done in? What kind of school do you go to? Here it's middle school Yr5-8 high school yr9-11.

That's pretty odd. Secondary school starts at Year 7 - all the schools round here have Years 7-11 (or 13) together.
Yer, it's an 11-18 secondary school. Year 7 - 11 and then 12-13 is 6th form.
How peculiar. Well, that's East Anglia for you. Always has to be different.
Anyhoo, I'm off. Got to do some tidying. Fun.
Bye all.

There are only two boroughs in England where they have middle school.
I happen to live in one of them.
But, when I was in year 7, I was in a secondary school in another borough so I missed out middle school.

I live in an area that has middle schools. But if you drive 7 miles out, you go back into the two tier system. It's strange! I started in the three tier system for primary, did two years at middle and then joined a yr 7-11 school in another system.
For us, in my county (I think one of the onlyplaces to do it), you have primary school years 1-6, then high school years 7-9 and then college which is years 10-13.

Awwww...CPPF, that is horrible I have PMed you. I know the feeling, apart from I did that in front of my music at school Music teacher. *hugs*

That must have been a stressful day. But notice that guys get really CONFUZZLED when a girl bawls her eyes out? 
It's ok, Andy. A girl does it to release stress and a hug would be a nice gesture. That would make any girl feel better immediately. A useful thing to know
Sounds like you feel better already, CPPF, but *hugs* anyway!

Yep, that's very true for me.
I think men have the reaction to run away and hide somewhere when they start crying; whereas women are far more 'social cryers'. From thence the apparent confusion arises....
Im a bottle it up and run away to hide and no ones ever seen me cry kind of person, but oh well...i must have looked really weird today walking through a busy town centre with really red eyes..
Yep, YAP.
(I couldn't resist...)
But yes, I think men and women (*generally*) have very different reactions to crying.
Not all women are amenable to hugs, but it's most definitely a good start and will if nothing else show you're trying...
Leaving said lass alone to cry or offering solutions to the problems is (again, generally) NOT a good idea!!

See, that's my (and many guys in my experience) response to seeing someone crying - to ask "What can I do to help?" or to offer solutions. Or to assume they want privacy and leave them alone. But apparently that's no good now. So we should just hang around feeling uncomfortable?

Im a bottle it up and run away to hide and no ones ever seen me cry kind of person, but oh well...i must have looked really weird today walking through a busy town centre with really red eyes..
Well yesterday, I was really upset between break and lunch, and because I had 2 frees between those lessons, it was ok, but I had to look like nothing had happened to the rest of the ourside world..I try not and cry infdront of people, but often I can't help it.
A hug is nice though
Off to do homework.

Leaving said lass alone to cry or offering solutions to the problems is (again, generally) NOT a good idea!!

That's because men and women are wired differently. Obviously it's a generalisation, and it's not true of *every* man and *every* woman, but blokes feel they have to solve the problem or they have failed, whereas what women generally want (unless they ASK for a solution) is for someone to say "I'm sorry you feel bad" and give them a hug - we need empathy before we need solutions. If in doubt, say "would you like a hug?" or "do you want company?"
So women generally need to realise that a guy who apparently ignores you/asks seemingly insensitive questions/runs away when you are crying is quite possibly actually trying to be nice...
... and men need to realise that the thing most women want when they are crying is for you to say "I'm sorry that you've had a horrid day/feel rubbish/whatever" and to give her a hug if you have a close enough friendship to feel you can offer that - or a pat on the shoulder, even! If they ask you to leave them alone, or ask for help solving the problem, then great. But to a lot of women, to leave her alone or to start saying "why don't you do this or that" come across as totally insensitive and inappropriate, however much you genuinely were trying to help.
I'm sure there are situations where women make faux pas that are equally as bad in guys' eyes. But this is one free tip for men faced with crying women

But notice that guys get really CONFUZZLED when a girl bawls her eyes out?
Yep, that's very true for me.
It's nature.
I know how it feels when it's really sressful. I've heard that when you cry it just feels a lot better.
Noodelz - you're right, it does.
Even more confusion arises when lads see lads crying - I experienced this on Ten Tors training. One of my team mates started crying - I didn't know why. We were a little lost (I wasn't navigating, honest!) and he was cold and wet -
And I was stumped. I didn't expect it from him. Didn't know what to do - so did nothing. I kick myself now for not doing it, he didnt get to do the event

Yep, YAP.
(I couldn't resist...)
But yes, I think men and women (*generally*) have very different reactions to crying.
Not all women are amenable to hugs, but it's most definitely a good start and will if nothing else show you're trying...

Hello everyone, sorry to butt in on this deep conversation. I've just got back from a week in the Isle of Wight. It was good, I went to Amazon World where they had loads of animals like penguins, marmosets, sloths, tapirs, capybaras, crocodiles, monkeys plus many arachnids and fish. Then yesterday I went on a cycle trail partway round the island (approx. 50 miles) which was tough but fun.
It's good to be back though, have I missed anything on the forums?

Welcome Back! Did you see my name embedded in the concrete on the esplanade in Sandown? Circa 1986 -- i'm sure you spotted it
Oooh, sounds fun! I've always wanted to go to the isle of Wight...
Is it just me, or is it unusually cold today? I've been frozen stiff all day and now my hands are turning white

Yeah, it is, lots of people have said that to me today.
Not many say that their hands go blue though, hey nic?
No, why? Should they? 
My brothers do occasionally. And my horn section told me last night after playing a particularly loud and long piece that my lips go black after I've played

Sorry I by-passed Sandown on my way round but didn't stop as I had to save my energy for the eeeevil hill just after Shanklin.
It looked very pleasant though. I'll keep an eye out next time. My back and legs are currently in a vicious struggle to gain the most pain-killing endorphines from my brain. Still, my own fault I suppose. . .
I am really tired...actually considering going to bed....

I remember going when i was 4 and sicking up on the ferry..
You still remember that?! You must have been REAL sick! Poor you.
How long was the journey, by the way?

I am a very 'travel-sicky- person..still am but not as much. I have a photo i think of me then..i looked a bit pale..lol, the ferry to France when i was 7 was worse though!!
I ALWAYS get travel sick. HATE it. But I took pills once or twice and it worked for me! Try it because it is tasteless. Doesn't taste bad. Might just work for you.
