Make your university application stand out

You could start a blog on your proposed study area, go around the world for charity, start a charity, get an interesting part time job or volunteer.
Can’t think of anything that would make you stand out more though than painting yourself blue. That would certainly get you noticed. People would point and say, ‘there’s the blue one’.

Multilingual britons

It’s not true thst Britons don’t speak foreign languages. Britons usually speak at least one foreign language badly, and often several badly at once. A typical conversation with a bloody foreigner might go something like, ‘cannen ichum one beeren haven merci?’
I think I can do s little bit better. In my year of 90 German o level entries only one got a c or above.
IT WAS ME!

How low can you go

And still pass a maths exam? By which I mean get a c.
At a level, the pass mark is about 60%.
At university the pass mark is a pretty uniform 40%.
In the Scottish highers this year it is 33% and I heard a few years ago it was 29% on an AQA GCSE paper. Beating them all though is the 15% a trainee teacher got on an intermediate GCSE maths paper. She continued on the course, so I suppose she mist have passed the exam.

Another impossible dream bites the dust

When persuasive people get some power, often the first thing they do is to persuade the gullible, including ministers and prime ministers, to give them some money. So with the charity kids company and its founder, batwoman. Kids company has just collapsed in an scandal of incompetence and missing money.
Apparently hundreds of thousands of pounds has been wrongly paid to staff. The money should have gone to frontline work. A woman who can preside over such fraud and incompetence should be working for a bank.

Yes Reem you have the right

The Palestinian refugee girl Reem, who was made to cry by German chancellor Merkel thinks Israel should be abolished. Note Israel should be abolished – not Jews should be exterminated.
Reem may be wrong, but has the right to think and say this, just as Israelis have the right to think they should steal Palestine, and according to several Israeli politicians, ‘cleanse Palestine of Arabs’.

You can’t be British unless you think like us

When British politicians talk about Muslims this is what they are saying. There has been an undercurrent of discussion implying this message for a long time now. No wonder many Muslims feel rejected by British society and fall victim to religious nutters.

When victimised by officialdom

Think this:
It must be my fate to be taunted by stupid men, and women, who gather up their little bits of paper and sense into a mute point, and throw it…
It takes less to subdue you than it does to silence a dog doesn’t it?

Emily Bronte was fond of silencing her dog with brute force.
