Dollymarie Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Very proud of my goddaughter today who passed all of hers with flying colours. She's had all sorts of issues away from school in the last few years, and was worried this might have affected things, but she ended up with an A, 2B's and 3 C's. I hope she likes the card I got her tomorrow, signed by Joey Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always lied on mine, I said I've got an A* in maths, I can't even count to B! I know you're in your early 20s so may not matter as much for jobs at the start of your career. Definitely a bad idea to lie about it. As @RumRed mentioned, some employers will do their due diligence - especially as you go for more senior jobs.

I do wonder how many of LJ's detractors were also his critics when he was player here, and that influenced their view of him from the day he was appointed.

In my opinion I think some let this influence their view of him. The majority have valid issues with his management but some still can't get past Johnson the player. It shouldn't be a factor but it is for some. There is an argument for whether an average player like Johnson was has the gravitas to get the respect of the likes of Tomlin but that's a different question altogether. Were the issues with Lee Johnson (the player) simply that GJ appeared to pick him ahead of superior players or was there more to it than that?

So that won't make things more confusing. Think it's only English lang., English Lit., and maths this time round with a maximum score of 9 in each. A "German Flint" to the 2:2's Desmond.

My lad just got his results and we are well pleased, passed nine including a distinction in engineering. That's gonna cost me a few quid as a reward but it's money I'm happy to spend. Well done City and well done to my lad too. Always reward the effort, Ska, more than the results (think "process, not outcome" as SO'D used to tell us....er, maybe not then).

But that comes under the charity arm of the club, there is no monetary gain for the club from advertising the fact courses are available for students to progress or retake exams, so not a problem for me.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 It always impresses when I say I went to Oxford. It's not exactly the case but it was a great result and Mark Lawrenson resigned shortly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I refer to his playing days as he divided opinion on the pitch I actually didn't hate him as a player , didn't rate him either very much a meh player , it just annoyed me that a player who obviously was disliked by many , got the top job cause of connection not ability , like I said pointless getting rid of cottrill for him , time has shown that .
