Goldcup you tw@ - in my positive, glass half full opinion it is not possible to fail any selection. It is however possible to not be selected. You can't fail something so subjective.
As for being bitter- I am about the selection process and lack of feedback yes but not about not being at Ba. How could I be? I have a great job with a great company.
To reiterate, vexed and Alexander have said it perfectly.
