    Shh J85.. England are amazing remember :p

    Ah i'm doing my A-Levels so I dont have that many, I feel for you though I remember my GCSE's. I've had 2 music resits last week, I have 6 left - music and english combined on tuesday, one psych one on wednesday, and the rest are on the following Monday. Then after I have a whole year before I go to uni. The break between school and college is the best though, spend it wisely ;) How do you feel your exams went?

    I see you were talking about Britains got Talent.
    I have watched a few (only for DEC) but I heard one of the dancers who got thru went to my old school, he is in year 8 or 9. My sister still goes school with him. :)

    I dunno if he is out of the comp now.

    So, we have a new prime minister, Gordon Brown, and Tony Blair has quit being an MP to become a peace envoy in the Middle East. Politics is just mad sometimes...

    The thing is, I was aware that Tony Blair was stepping down, but for some reason I thought it was much later in the year, so I was actually really surprised when I heard the news today. :lol:

    When he announced during the 2nd week of May. They said it would take around 6 weeks to find a new PM *or let Gordon take the role*, but that 6 weeks have come around rather quickly.

    I'm sad to see Tony go :( I much prefer him as a PM that Gordon, I have never thought much of Gordon. But I'll let his own policies to do the talking now he's top dog.

    I don't like Gordon Brown either, so I don't feel happy. On balance, I think I preferred Tony Blair. Oh well, I think I just have an adversity to politicians in general! They're all about spin and saying what they think we want to hear. I don't trust any of them to be honest - currently that is.

    I always seem to prefer fictional politicians! ;)
