FAIL!

Perhaps I shouldn't have binge-watched TV series on Netflix when I was meant to be studying...


[via]



To cheer myself up after this crushing blow, I shall be 'round to visit you all sometime this weekend. I'm especially intrigued by such blog post titles as "Not the Hats of Barbara Cartland" by our Mr. DeVice.

    I look forward to your visit. I wiped the loo seat. Jx

  4. I'm sure it was a close call. Pop over when you get a mo and I'll see if I can find you a commiseration hat from Dame Barbara's stores.

    1. PEENEE: I’m beginning to think so.

      To clarify, I really should say that I didn’t actually FAIL, I simply didn’t do well enough to achieve a certain standing.

  11. If one thinks about it - the first part of life is a continuous series of tests, be it school or job (qualifications, further training) - even unemployment, if you want to get help, you have to qualify for it, test required.
    Perhaps the whole life is a test.
    Anyway at the end one will be told the results - a bit unfair, while nobody is allowed to look into the rule book, a bit like an assessment centre.
    Scotch'n Bailey's I can agree with, a can of coffee, a bottle of moonshine and a spoonful of cream - the day's my friend ...
    Don't look so sorrowful, m'love, jezz isses scho' um's Eck, tits are already out, very nice, chin up.
