ObSmugBit: I got into Cambridge! And I didn't even have to phone them up! Yay!

Haven't got my Law result(s) yet, but I'll post once they are forthcoming. (It might even be a B. You never know.)

Well done!

(tsk, I remember when A-level results could be expressed with three or four letters. Where HAVE those glory days gone?)

[chess]

I could have just said AAAAA, but you might have thought I'd had a terrible accident or something.

Oh, and you should be on AIM if you're around. *poke*

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

The internet cafe doesn't have AIM and I don't have much time left. Make my computer talk to the internet.

congrats!

I hope Cambridge was the best years of your life so far.

[chess]

*clicks her fingers*

Should be just fine now.

Yay, chessythings!

[pling.livejournal.com]

Congrats :)

[chess]

Don't 'pssh' me, young lady. Just for that I'll break it again. See? Broken. All your fault. Bah.

[jaq.livejournal.com]

Well done :-) I hope you enjoy it there.

[naath.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

w000000t!

And other *bouncy bouncy bouncy* things!

(Churchill still mings though)

[emperor]

Yay :-)

Now you can waste the rest of your life on GROGGS :-)

Are you becoming a Mathmoo or an UnNaturalSci?

[ahsu.livejournal.com]

*applause*

[marble.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! (Of course I realised this morning when I heard it was A level results day today that I'd be saying that to you anyway).

You are now officially smarter than me:)

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

CHESSY I'M SORRY. Make it work. Please? I'll wobble my lower lip and look mournful if you don't...

[chess]

Nothing of the sort. Compsci.

[chess]

Oookay...

*clicks her fingers*

*clicks them some more*

Nope, the magic seems to have gone away. Drat. Sounds like you'll have to fix your computer the old-fashioned way, by reinstalling everything. Sorry.

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

...but but but I can't! The problem is the modem and the computer and and and and ... they won't talk ...

[sath.livejournal.com]

Yay! That's great, I'm so happy for you :)

[ruhe.livejournal.com]

Bravo Sweetheart! I'm so proud of you!

[phlebas.livejournal.com]

Sounds pretty unnatural to me.

[chess]

New modems are significantly cheaper than drugs. (You can pick one up for about £10 if you hunt for a cheap one.) May I suggest that the heat might have fried your modem?

(We actually did manage to melt a modem at XF. It had a black case and we left it in direct sunlight.)

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

I've never used it!

[chess]

In which case, can't you take it back to whatever ingrate you got it from and say 'oi, mate, this one's busted, let's have one that isn't'?

Another good move is to swipe one temporarily from someone else and see if your computer will talk to it. At least then you'll know if it's that particular modem (in which case see above) or whether it's your computer being sniffy about modem-ness in general.

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go the "awkward and frustrating but at least I don't have to leave my room" route of ringing up Dell and whinging at them until something happens.

[chess]

WUSH - Whinge Until Something Happens.

There are people I need to taunt with that :).

Sounds like a strategy to me. (Not necessarily a *good* strategy, but definitely a strategy.) Especially if you have too much time on your hands already. Just watch them nasty phone bill things.

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

WUSH works, though!

It's FREE, and I don't have to pay my phone bill anyway. I have people to do that for me.

[haggis.livejournal.com]

Wow, congrats! I'm glad all the stress and work of the last two years has paid off ;)

*does the 'I beat Katy' dance*

*Sticks tongue out at you*

'Gratulations - very, very well done, and I'm so happy for you!
