Disappointing A-Level results

The Daily Mail traditionally celebrates each year's A-Level results with a template whine about how they've become even easier and more meaningless than the year before (which is probably true, by the same token, whoever rehashes the template whine can probably do it in their sleep by now) and accompany it with a picture of some top A-Level totty just to brighten things up.

For my part, I find this year's top A-Level totty selection just a bit too anodyne:

You should try the Metro

PC, ta, but I'm underwhelmed.

Anyway, I'm still missing the traditional story of the identical twins with identical grades, I enjoy those.

The totty usually gets into the Friday editions so there's hope yet.

I like seeing the ones with how many diffrent ethnicitys the photographer can cram in the shot.

Although they'll have to go someway to beat the The Newsshopper and The Telegraph from last year.

They look like a bunch of twenty-eight year olds acting the part of eighteen year olds.

The brunette's nice! I bit Cheryl Cole perhaps?

BTW MW, did you see that Spanish cow attack on Sky News just now? Wow! Best ever, it took out half the crowd!

They don't need good 'A' levels.

Those fine fillies are off to the the University of Life and the School of Hard Cocks !

Mark Wadsworth said...

R, we'll see.

PC, yup, that Newsshopper one set the bar very high (thoug the kid in the wheelchair was sadly lacking).

D, they probably ARE twenty - if you do badly in a unit of an A level you can just resit it again and again until you finally get the grade you wanted.

SL, that was the best cow attack ever. And no, I don't even like the brunette.

EK, brilliant.

RR, thanks, but those are boys.

Once again MW The Newshopper does not dissappoint in Multi-Culti A Level Resulting why it could almost be a cast photo of the next series of 'Misfits'

Loses points though for no wheel chair and no Chinese

But half a point back for cute Chinese girl on her own inthe main story

RantinRab said...

MW, oops, I missed the point completely!

(again).

Mark Wadsworth said...

PC, try the Newsshopper article on Epping Forest Colelge, they look like the cast of Glee!

MW: Oh Yeeees, I bet that's going in next years brochure.
