... that there's not much blather about A Level results on here??? Or are they lurking in some bit of the forum that I've not yet found?

And this
Gary Lineker, the BBC football presenter, has attacked Charterhouse school for failing to get his son into university.

That made me chuckle, he thought perhaps money would buy his son some brains. His son should have worked hard not partying hard. :roll:
But friends accused him of simply enjoying his social life too much when he should have been revising.

One said of his rant on the social networking site: ‘Just because your father is a celebrity it doesn’t mean you go [to university] automatically’.

In the past six months, the teenager has often been spotted partying at London nightspots such as celebrity favourite Mahiki – and stumbling out in the early hours.

He flew out to on a week-long holiday to Tenerife just weeks before his exams and enjoyed a fling with glamour model and ex-Big Brother contestant Sophie Reade, 22

I found the whole thing quite amusing too. Isn't Charterhouse particularly choosey about its intake? Thought there were enough wealthy people around without having to take this boy in.

aaahh, university. OK, hadn't thought to look there.
Yes, poor George Lineker. How rotten; you pay all that money, go off partying all the time and mess up your exams. Outrageous.
