― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 18 August 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

I was at home with my family when I discovered my results online. Maybe the photographers only invite you to a group hug if you're an attractive young lady. Or if you got seventeen A-levels.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Friday, 18 August 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

need more photos of people looking aghast, crushed, despairing...something I can relate to more.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 18 August 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

They could just get attractive home counties girls who were crushed because they only got three As and a B, that'd still be money.

The Daily Telegraph of all publications had a picture of a racially diverse group of boys on the front page, possibly to show off how open today's Tory party is to modern Britain and we should all vote for them.

I remember when you could rely on the Tory press to be classist and lecherous. This is all David Cameron's fault.

Mark has not actually outlined why it's funny, in fact he's done the opposite.

I honestly don't understand why any kids would bother rioting when they're evidently giving out A-grades to everyone now.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:02 (fourteen years ago)

Matt DC is right in what I outlined.

― Mark G, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:02 (fourteen years ago)

Nice touch to bring up Michael McIntyre, the "unfunny comic" lex blew a gasket over during Wimbledon (which was funny)

I fucking hate McIntyre and would like to see him burnt alive. But this makes me an atrocious comedy snob according to some twat in the Telegraph.

― lol sickmouthy (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:12 (fourteen years ago)

I was actually wondering how Lex would cope with Michael McIntyre without going nuclear and smashing things, given that he is teethgrindingly annoying to people who actually like comedy.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:13 (fourteen years ago)

xpost I didn't see that.

It's funny, I've resisted having a 'pop' at MicMac as I'd never seen his act on TV, just bits of him introducing the next comic on stage (and his expert analysis on BGTalent, obv).

And then I did, and it was much the same as his introductions, i.e. nothing to actually remember.

― Mark G, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:13 (fourteen years ago)

He just shouts, as far as I can tell. And he has no eyes.

I used to go to a lot of comedy nights back when, but when ObsCom took over I got less interested and stopped.

Went recently, t'was much the same.

Of course, now it's a defined career choice for many.

Anyway, back to the a-levs...

They are interviewing a severely unfunny comedian on the BBC while we wait for Azza. FUCK THE FUCK OFF YOU AWFUL CUNT. Maybe a strategy to make even Azarenka seem welcome.

Haha yes I hate Michael McIntyre or however you spell it. Does he even listen to the interviewer's questions? He answered every question completely incorrectly.

McIlroy looks like a troll.

I don't know how/whether these things are connected.

― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:32 (fourteen years ago)

Do kids really still physically go into school and open envelopes with their results printed on pieces of paper? How quaint.

Wish I'd planned ahead a bit further as I'm going out for dinner in Blackheath this evening and the place is going to be *full* of annoying posh kids out on the lash. And also frustrated looking kids who can't go out on the lash because their parents have taken them out for a celebratory dinner and they're looking awkward and wishing they were elsewhere.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 18 August 2011 09:32 (fourteen years ago)

I would have thought the reason this crops up year after year is simple - kids graduate every year. They wanna see them and their kind in the papers and get excited. As far as they care its all about them, for that moment. They dont give a shit it's happened for millenia. I know I didnt in year 12.
