ewerk 29497 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Can't see them doing that, if you can't manage a B in GCSE Maths then you probably aren't suited to Computer Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I've always loved eminem since I bought his album, the eminem show, back in 2002. To see him there, aww was amazing. You bought his album at the age of 9? Yep, I still remember it, It was in one of those dodgy market shops in salou Well that's responsible parenting for you. Was your mother sucking off a Spanish waiter at the time? No. Letting me wander myself around salou while she was sucking off a spanish waiter would be bad parenting. They had to buy it for me you daft cunt, which meant they were with me. Language Kevin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am good at maths. I got 2 B's in the previous 2 modules, I was doing higher maths. But then I dropped to foundation for the last module just to make sure i passed. I could've got a B but i played it safe to get a C. I've always loved eminem since I bought his album, the eminem show, back in 2002. To see him there, aww was amazing.

Meenzer 15127 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 So they themselves bought you, a nine year old, an album about sex, guns, murder, drugs and sexually transmitted diseases? She'd have been better off sucking off the Spanish waiter. To be fair, my parents bought me albums by a certified kiddy fiddler at that age. Though they refused to buy me a Eurovision tape.

Well, I was looking to go to a different, better grammar school, knew i was going to fail english (and i did) and i needed at least a C out of english or maths. Better off playing it safe..

ewerk 29497 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 That must've been a really spastic school if even the 'smart' kids could only get a C at GCSE. Another example of why the 11+ worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10430 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Kevin are you good at anything other than maths? because... well, as has been said, it might be that computer sciences aren't for you if you are getting C's and not "safely" getting B's I got a B at maths and I'm shit at it (ask Matt) , not showing off, I probably just got lucky with the exams or whatever, but I'm truly bad at maths and got that B... so perhaps you should concentrate on something else?

Billy Castell 0 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 You need to be seriously good at computers, and need to be great at maths. Put it this way, I had someone in my class who practically turned his scientific calculator into a gameboy. He did a darts game on it, an F1 racing game etc. I tried to blag my way through my Masters, because it was interesting just like the local pub, and fucked it up.

At school the product is your own education - you screw up and the only person who suffers is yourself. In work the product is whatever your company produces - fuck up there and you're costing your employers money. You're also just a small piece in a massive jigsaw puzzle and you'll be expected to fit in around others - hence the politics comment. If I had my time again I'd think seriously about not following a career in something I actually enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
