  1. I'd warn against LSE like if you don't have perfect GCSEs. I was told I would probably be rejected with 6 A*s.

     

    Why would a university reject you on the basis of your GCSEs? It's the A levels that count, no?

     

    It is, but because nearly all LSE applicants are predicted AAA, and they're not allowed to interview (because 40% of their students are internationals), it's the only method they have apart from the personal statement.

     

    It's generally only LSE and Durham who are uptight about GCSEs, the rest don't care (including Oxbridge).

     

    Make sure your personal statement is awesome then. What are you applying for?

     

    Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Not sure where yet (might give Oxford a bash, will see how results go :lol:)

  3. Nee chance is South Park better than The Simpsons though!

    Overall it is now, easily. I've recently switched sides on that fact... but the Simpsons should have stopped a long long long time ago.

     

    I meant overall, I'd agree you with you at present. Some of the early episodes like Cape Feare are way better than anything South park has ever done.

  4. Random moment in the highlights on five, camera cuts to a bloke dressed as a woman, Simon Hughes in the commentary goes 'You'd have to be weird to dress up as a woman' (or something), then it shows him in the analyst truck wearing full bondage gear, a wig and lipstick. :lol: WTF was all that about!

     

    Good Test match mind.
