You just made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people (which, since there aren't even 100,000 NSers is particularly impressive).
Congratulations, have a cookie.

Untrue:
Silence is golden
Ingorance bliss
Better off not asking
What you'd rather forget
Now both you and Peechland can run off in blissfulnessism and joy.

If you go chasing rabbits, call Alice when she was just small.

The rabbit there is obvious, and the song was written/performed by Jefferson Airplane, so it is all there.

16 is when you do your GCSEs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE).

It's asking what people did after their GCSEs.



Anyway, I did A levels...English Lit, History and Geography, and an AS in ICT.

So what's matric, then? *confused as hell* Crap.

Matric :confused:

Matriculation. They had it in South Africa.. and they said it was English. Maybe I'd be better off not knowing anything more about this. :p

Matriculation. They had it in South Africa.. and they said it was English. Maybe I'd be better off not knowing anything more about this. :pDo you mean matriculation as in university matriculation? That's pretty much just registering at a university here. However, the most common entrace requirements for entering a university in the UK are A Levels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_levels). One of a number of 'post-16' educational options ;)

*Damnit!* I don't rightly know. In RSA there was a nationwide spate of suicides at the end of every school year because kids didn't pass their "matrics." I thought it had to do with passing highschool and getting accepted at college. Obviously it's not as English-y as they wanted it to be.

I went to a college. Since I suck at initial social skills I pobably would have benefitted more from going to my school's 6th form, as their numbers were just in the hundreds whereas my college had over 6000 people total or something. However, I was far more prepared for uneh, so...
