  1. Ahh thanks, I was thinking about the snake who swallows its own tail *facepalm*
  2. Wouldn't this imply that all the hard work waster put in his quotes of the day were a waste of time/fake if yours was "real"? Otherwise this is an excellent quote, although I don't understand it. Could Papito provide further explanation?
  3. Lucky lucky Uhh let's see. GCSEs were a bit low, around 10As, 4Cs and an A*, under extenuating circumstance. AS were Maths, Further Maths, Engl. Lit, Chemistry, Biology. Dropped Eng Lit, took up an EPQ~ So AS: AAAAC + EPQ (ongoing, probably A) A2 predictions: A*A*AA Applied for biochemistry @ Imperial, KCL, UCL, Warwick & Oxf. (re-applying at 1st year) Firming ICL, Insurance Warwick (although they're the same entrance req.) Personally, I see medicine as an over-rated poofed up vocation course, bit like being an anorexic model. Imo, most people want to be doctors because they get to help people, etc, etc which soothes their egos and presumably makes them popular with the ladies & pay, etc, etc. However, what you must remember is that the med. degree is 5+1+1 with incalculated year and found. year and you will be 25-26 when you're done, the salary for a junior doctor is pretty crap (ca. 25k depending on source) and you will be spending those J.Dr years (+clinical years) at a G.P looking at haemoroids and prescribing contraception. Unless you decide to go straight into specialisation which will be a further 2-3 years. Although if you want the quick way in and the quick way out, its 4 years if you do Biochem first, therefore 3+4, which is still seven, and you only get the benefit to two Bachelors. Additionally, medics are realistically only required imo, in the public healthcare sector, most of the supply and logistics are done by the under-rated biochemists and research doctorates in the private sector who have to put up with medical students during one of their years as part of their degree. I may be very very biased in this regard, but what pisses me off the most is that the researchers and doctorates make the medicine and test and invent them. All the medics do is diagnose and dish them out as needed (barring surgeons, etc), and they get paid 20k-ish by medical charities to shadow a researcher whilst the researcher themselves only get paid 6k from the charity as part of their D.Res. [/rant] If you want some more guidance on Biochemistry, it might be worth reading this book: http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/0199226717 I read it in full from the library and it's great knowledge to have (you need A2 knowledge for some parts) but essentially, if you try to understand it, it's a mind-tester for A-level students. Have you considered what universities you are applying for?
  4. That's a very very long debate to have, remember 9k tuiton + you will not get another student loan for 2nd degrees. Biochemistry is a good start for doing medicine A101, but I assume you are still doing AS-levels? Remember a few things about post-graduate. 1.) You are predicting something 5+ years in the future. 2.) Depending on your university, not only should you have decent A-levels (A*AA or AAA), you will need a 2:1 to match. I've applied to do biochemistry, ideally in London, the grim place of the UK, and going research post-grad. And additionally, Biochemistry and Medicine lead to very different outcomes in the workforce spectrum, if you are leaning towards the biomedical technologies (it might be more useful to do biomedical sciences) Out of sincere curiousity, what A-levels are you doing?
  5. Ahh a prospective medicine applicant for the meatgrinder eh? Good luck! Welcome to our forums and have fun
  6. I'm on Joker's bench here, size doesn't matter. It's how you use it that counts . can I have that last quarter Joker? Om nom nom
  7. 2nd one is creepy... *shudders*
  8. Fortunately for me, there was a local organisation who writes CV/work xp, etc, etc. I gave them my details, and they churned one out. It was around average, made it a little better with some tweaks. So you might wanna check out for that. But otherwise, you may have to do it the long way and start from scratch!
  9. Wth. That kitty must be photoshopped in! +First one needs to be slapped on the face.
  10. Wish I clicked on the ******* thing sooner....

  14. I'm still believing this Only I'm a whisperer, not a broadcaster so I'm safe.
  15. I want these dogs on my hunting team! Those foxes have no chance!
  16. Sunlight will have an essay on this! But the first things are you looking for in a suspect will be: 1.) Unexplainable strong jerky movements. 2.) Headshots or high percentage kills. 3.) Predictive timing/ability
  17. When you copy from one person, it is called plagiarism, when you copy from many people, it is called research. :P

  19. 3rd one was funniest ;P
  20. To be honest, I kinda enjoyed using adren spam on that server, the increased power rate + two thompsons makes it similar to J3 but more relaxed imo.
  21. ^ I lol'd 3rd one is an epic failure. How is it even level?!
  22. MBAM FTW! Free and has found malware/adware that McAfee consistently fails to find.
  23. Happy Valentines! Now someone send me one
  24. I killed a man.
  25. Meh. There was a similar video on the internet where a cop beat up this arrested drunk at a station, unfortunately it was caught on camera and the cop was fired. He got a job at another station not too far away not too long after.
