Ed, really sorry to hear you were unsuccessful this time around. My words will do little to console you so i'll just say I laughed hard, out loud, several times reading your post (not at the bit about failing). Please re-apply because you sound like the kind of bloke who, when not browsing penile enlargement implements, (they apparently do nothing I hasten to add........apparently. I couldn't say for sure of course) is a good laugh to work with!
Whitelighter, starting in Jan huh? Me too. Have you started looking into digs yet? Did you get the ammended 4th Jan start date email?
