I go to a snobby, middle-class, white british grammar school in the south-east, where pretty much everyone gets at least 3 "C"s at A-Level, and we're all having a wonderful time scoffing at this, I can tell you.

I do think it's been a bit overblown though... As someone remarked, a qualification "equivalent" to A-Level probably means something like a GNVQ or BTEC. Considering you can already get these in stuff like "childcare" and "leisure and tourism", one in McDonalds restaurant management doesn't look all that bad.

And yeah, the top universities are all out for A-Levels, International Baccalaureate or equivalent. This qualification would probably only help you in to a less good uni, where admission tends to be on "UCAS points" rather than grades.

here's another great one: turn any picture into a sensationalist "daily mail" front page

"It's too perfect"

What, you thought for one second that it was actually real? Comic genius it may be, but autobiographical it is not.

Unless things are pretty different in Japan, I don't think your toilets are *co-ed*

*Unisex* maybe.

@ 6

I think it means "first protein produced by transgenic *animals*"

(Artificial insulin is made by genetically-modified bacteria)

Oops sorry my bad, he didn't actually *kill* Grindlewald, just defeated and imprisoned him. But my point still applies.

@ Sexyrobot

She meant that the fact he ended up fighting and killing the man he loved was his great tragedy. Idiot.

@ Santos
