Bastard.

No, really, congrats. I'm just a bit bitter, and, to be honest, scared like ****. I still have to do 2 weeks of test, instead of the one the rest of the year has. I was ill the last run, so I still have about 50% of my grades to get. And what I have is not great.

Man, way to go on those. :) This morning I just downloaded my take-home exam paper on Biblical Studies, and have two days to do that. Then I have two weeks of exams following that. It's a long tunnel with no light. :o

Cheers :)

It's just a shame I can't find any jobs locally... as in Scotland (only about 5.9% of Uk IT jobs are up here.  So workwise, I may well be screwed or end up in London - which is the same thing really).

And here we poor Yanks thought that you and English were finally getting along.

No sane person would ever actually want to work in London....... the cost of living is by far the highest in the UK (most people can't afford to buy a house there), it's number one in the big-list-o'-terrorist -targets, the tube doesn;t work, and the average starting wage is the lowest - in real terms - of anywhere in the UK.  Unfortunately, it's also where a whopping 40% of jobs in field are.

Feck.

(and no, the Scots never get along with the English.  At least in terms of the media - the common-as-muck english people we have no problem with, it's just the way Scottish issues are ignored by the national news...and when something does happen up here, they send an english reporter to cover it, rather than using the local Scots.  And soforth, on many, many things which serve to put a chip of our shoulder.

Still, at least we're not welsh.......)

As far as my history goes, Scots never liked the English, Welsh never liked English, and the English never liked anyone, including the French, Germans, Irish, Americans,..... But as long as you don't call a Scot an Irishman, or a Welshman an Englishman, you won't really notice it.

Correct?

The 'Scots' tribe was Irish.  Merged with the Picts, though I don;t think anyone knows why they took up the 'scot' name.

Iirc the viking attacks left the picts in a pretty miserable state and the Scots became dominant.

Just call us Scottish and we'll be happy.

Anything else, aside from British on the appropriate occasion, and we're rather upset.
