Er...um... (hedging bets)...uhh.... So, how are you? Cool. Um... How was it? Y'know. It. Um... Ok, ok, ok - tell us (What? Daughter? Date? Wha'?)
Started off great Dev and ended like I'd had my guts ripped out Brutal. Just like I knew it would be. We now know out of 800 applicants she was shortlisted to 350 who were interviewed. Only 200 will get a place over the year. Out of today's lot only two lads beat her in the fitness test. She bottled it in the interview lost her nerve. The Director and yard manager tested her metal and Becca crashed and burned. They broke her. We don't know if she has got in. What are your kids doing Dev? Super sonic uni people I expect
So all the carp was just carp? You lot just wanted the gossip? You never did want me here? Never will?
Calm down Branston It's lovely having you on here but we can't be expected to remember everything that's going on in everybodies life. I'm sorry you and your daughter had a bad day but take a deep breath and think about the positives.
Do you feel that your screwfix select Phil was somehow wronged Dev.? I much prefer you when your getting your knickers off. P.s keep your beak out! Anybody would think this was a forum
Initialised words are in capital letters and you wanted me to get my knickers off, not that I wear them.
I want to be home stuck in the middle of a round about in a hell hole with concrete everywhere on the A11 My girl is now in Sussex and she wants to be home in Devon same as me. I don't like it I'm freaking out.
I don't know. A11 M11 A14. I'm getting mixed up. I'm dreading driving home tomorrow. I failed. Miserably. I suck.
It's "you're..." (Stands back and takes cover...) Miss P, a week or so ago you told us your daughter was going for this great opportunity, and that you'd report back on how it went. As far as I can recall you did not say exactly when, so it's hardly incumbent on t'rest of us to second-guess this. Anyways, that aside, really sorry to hear that it ain't going the way you hoped, but from the details it isn't fait accompli yet, is it? If she's down to the last 350 and there are 200 places, surely she has a very decent chance? And the people carrying out the interview aren't necessarily trying to make the interviewees implode - they can surely detect what they are after and can look past things like wot appears to be the odd 'crash'. If they are worth anything, they should be able to. Anyways, she's sixteen, for pity's sakes - barely out of nappies. And she has a strong mum to support her and pick up the pieces. She does have a strong mum, doesn't she? I mean, she surely ain't witnessing her mum 'crash and burn' - like wot we have on here at times... . Whatever happens with this opportunity, it is only one of many. This is life, and she's barely setting out yet. It is impressive - and quite amazing - that she feels so strongly about what she wants to do at such a young age. I, for example, hadn't a scooby, and just fell into teaching in my mid-30s for pity's sakes . All fingers crossed she does still get in, but it ain't the end of the world if she doesn't. It's the start of a new one. And she shouldn't see any hint of that in her mum's face either. (My kids? Jeepers, my oldest in just in Year 9... )
