[QUOTE=faith+1]What in the hell is a GCSE? Is it only something they do in Europe?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the exams we do in England, in our last year of compulsory education, when we're 15-16.

[QUOTE=British Boy]Howdy fellas..

My uncle took my computer away because im in my mock GCSE weeks. I should have it back tomorrow, so I can be back on the scene, but it will most likely be taken again on Sunday night and returned after my morning exam on Thursday.

Just fillin ya'll in.[/QUOTE]

The GCSE's are pretty piss, I didn't revise and passed 9 with 3 A's and an A*

A levels on the other hand...

I don't think im going to worry about A levels. I'm gonna take Music, Music Technology, Performance Studies (AS only), and Physics.

Of course i'm gonna be very worried about Physics.

I'm doing Biology, Sociology, ICT and 16th Century History. We get an (8 A4 sides) essay every 2 weeks and biology is just really hard in general.

Sounds like fun but I guarantee it'll be harder than you expect. My sister did music, and I think she found it hard, and she's grade 8 piano and theory.

I'm doing History, Politics, Computing and Maths. Wonderful.

16th C or modern?

Modern, its pretty interesting, although at the moment its just stuff I did at GCSE but more indepth.

Whats 16th Century like? I'm not sure if my college has that course.

pretty cool, so far we have done about The wars of the roses and how Henry Tudor came to power.

England atcually once controlled all of France, but then we lost it all.

now back to the music. these guys are pretty good. how long have they been a band? this song was much better that sex machine. i give them thumbs up. :thumb:[/quote]

They've been a band for about 4 or 5 years...my cousin has been playing drums for 20 years and the rest for 5 years (he's only 25) He writes the main structure and riffs for all the songs and the guitarists and bassist elaborate on their parts...then my cousin writes the lyrics and sings...unfortunately he got his girlfriend pregnant by accident and now they have a baby so the band is on hold for a little while...

[quote=enemytopublic2]unfortunately he got his girlfriend pregnant by accident and now they have a baby so the band is on hold for a little while...[/quote]

stuff like that happens far too often today. when will people learn? either way the bands pretty good for only being together for about four years.

I'm doing music A level, i'm my second year now. I'm doing music tech too. I love that subject. Its a good combination too.

It is pretty hard, got to put in a lot of work. It doesn't help that I didn't do music GCSE though. I only started learning about proper theory in A level so its been pretty hard to catch up.

Yeah it does, but hey...they've been going out for a long while and were about to be engaged anyway

I'm very tempted to drink a cup of drain cleaner after I heard a great description of the autopsy of a woman who did.
Ra-ta-ta-ta.

just got home, made myself some tea to go along with my crackers and salsa. yum.

i got all my wraps off last night, just waiting to go pick up paint. the wood on my drums doesn't look as bad as i imagined it would, the grain could actually make for some good staining. but i'd rather paint than stain.

on wednesday i'm going to a play that the school's been working on all school year. i went to the one last year, and was fairly bored by it. i've heard that this one is better, but i'm still pretty sure i'll be bored. i only go because friends of mine are the main actors/stage managers, and it's only like 60-90 minutes long. do any of you enjoy plays?

I had to go to my brothers schook play the other year and it was ok. He was one of the main actors... I also had to go see one with my Grandmother... I thought it would be terrible but it was hillarious.

Is everyone getting excited for x-mas??? I can't wait my mom says it's rude but i'm going to just tell everyone all I want is money and my birthday is january 23rd and i'll ask for money then too and i was thinking of using it for the following.

14" AAX Stage Hats
16" AAX Stage Crash
20" AAX Stage Ride
18" AAX Stage Crash
19" or 18" AAXtreme China

Not sure about the china yet though.

My cowbell slipped on the bracket last night! :( I had to improvise most of the solo seeing as it was based around left foot patterns. I finally started nailing this pattern I had worked out last week. I get to the competition, and I dont get to do it! Ah well, I got a number from a cute lil drumma girl :p Things werent so bad Lmao

Sounds awesome, but is she better than you....?

[QUOTE]Sounds awesome, but is she better than you....?[/QUOTE] There is no better or worse. She originally wanted me teach her a lick, but we got to talking. We have alot in common actually. She is 18 and started playing a year ago to join a band in Philly. They sucked (Her words) And she decided to move to Brandon (30 min drive for me) To live with some family before she goes to school.

I can't wait for christmas.
I'm going to get an mp3 player for sure this year, and probably a few Che Guevara books.

How much money are they giving you?!?! Have you looked into Hand Hammered's and HHX's?

Lol i'm not sure how much i'll be getting but I have my birthday to add to that. I play Greenday/Zeppelin/Guns N Roses/Nirvana I think AAX would work fine for me.

[QUOTE=Loyton]huh? no i meanlike audio.[/QUOTE]
no thats like where i heard it. along with this other clnic by this no name guy.

Yeah John Blackwell is ****ing amazing. Just about **** myself watching him.

Wtf?
Did anybody hear about the town in Texas that changed it's name from Clark to DISH?
Everyone that lived there got a free year of Dish network.
God.
I have lost all hope for the south.

there's only a 125 residents and they want satalite. yeah it's dumb, but they're probably all old and poor.

plus don't let the actions of 125 people be the basis of your opinions of the south, at least not Texas. Texas is by far one of the greatest states.

yeah tehy dont offer cable to most trailers.

it was teh same with this city in oregon, tehy changed their name to some website and they got free internet i think.

In mountain view, a few miles where i live, where google is based, they offer free internet because they out up like harmful antenas or something. And its not a small city.

Trailers.
Why do people live in them?
The land rent is so expensive you're better off owning a house.
And when you're in a house you have less of a chance of being beaten to death with a tire iron in the middle of the night by an enraged old man.
You can get cable, too.

because they're cheaper than a house and people are poor.
if you want cable all you have to do is still it from your neighbor.

hehehe
same with internet
