Thanks mate. :) C1 does seem quite easy but I'll hopefully drop maths at the end of the year. C2 looks a bit nasty so I'd hate to see C4!

Yeah for my a levels, i did C1 and got 80 something, then i did c2 and got 96 :cool: (i resat it though got low 70's first time), then got 68 ish for C3, and needed just like 50 percent to get a B Maths A level and i got 48... :angry: one of the hardest papers i have done in my life (Didn't help i liked playing fifa lol)...

Some of the maths though is just pointless... I once asked, what is the point of learning this, how will it be useful in future life, and he said "erm maths teacher" :fainthv9:

Do you where those funny uniforms to go to school?

yeah we all dress like this :D

no not really. That is only the private schools. Most schools you have a smartish uniform. At my school when you are in the 16-18 age group you can wear whatever you want

:ph34r: , I always get a ticket, BUT, i get it for the way back when its off peak, as that costs me 4.90 from greenwich, but if i get one in the morning it costs me 12.00. And the fine is 20 quid which is stupid... If i don't get caught 3 times i make a saving if i get caught the 4th time lol... Also because the train is so packed when i leave in the morning there is never a ticket man on there and hasn't been for a year and a half... :D *touches wood

Owww mate we've tried so many tactics its become a hobby the conductors know us on the line and have a genuine hatred for us. Here's a number of tactics.

1. The traditional move up and down the train sit at the top wait until he passes you to open the doors and then move somewhere he has already checked hoping to blend in, possibly read a paper, pretend to be on the phone or ask a stranger for the time to give the impression you've been there a while.

2. Use a old ticket, most have become wise but in the olden days, done with enough confidence many wouldn't investigate.

3. If there is a guy on the door at the station you go in at, time it so you don't have time to buy a ticket before getting on. (They have to let you through) or if there is a card machine beyond their check point claim your using that. Play about with it for a bit then walk on quickly.

4. If there is someone checking at the station you get of at look into getting of a stop earlier and walking i get of one early and it takes about a 10 minute walk.

5. Use a card on which there is no cash, often they will say just buy one when you get there.

6. Change the ticket with a pen. Probably the most risky as a friend got caught and prosecuted but judge it on a case by case basis.

7. If a friend has got charged borrow their "out ticket" and place it in front of a old "return" obscuring the date of the old one and making it seem like the correct days.

8. Work with a friend and try to pass the ticket. Probably works best for one to sit on a seat the row in front. The first person shows it early and then as he's checking the people to the side of him on the row slip it through the side of the chair into friends pocket or hand.

9. If in a big group sit tight and occasionally if the group is distracting him he or she will often miss out at least one person.

Confidence is key. Good luck comrade.
