LC2010HIS

UpTheSlashers

Last year they started on the 27th of may, so probably within the next two weeks.

Will they be called 609 this year seeing as it's starting on the 9th of June?

Awh, shame shes not doing it, I like to hear her voice, it made me think..'oooh the exams are coming' even if it wasn't my year, she was really good..ahwel!

Do they go into detail or is it just general tips? (e.g. for english would they talk about texts?)

Do they make predictions?

LC2010HIS

ya it was recommended to me. They said the english guy predicts all poets correctly. Worth a listen.
