My estate was full of old people when I was growing up, it's changing a bit now id say the majority are still over 65.

outnumbered

I wonder how accurate are all these passing comments that we hear about how we will have done much better in the exams than we think? I think when you know it didn't go good, you just know.
Right up to the Biology exam I was expecting ~580 points. Now, 535 is what i'm estimating.

When you bombed in an exam, you know. Sometimes you can do better than you expected but generally, for me anyway if I thought I failed then I did.

Of course you know!! It would be all over the news and the Gardaí would be looking for you.

And Id say they are pretty accurate depending on your level of work since its a standard marking system based on a bell curve where it does reward hard workers.

Yeah I've seen places like that, they're mostly in the inner city though. I used to live on a street that was full of old people. The estate I live in now is fairly new so most of the people bought there are still young.

Every single soul living around my school is either in the cemetery or should be in the cemetery..

God watching Vsauce on youtube is fascinating.

I have plenty of druggies around the corner from me, my little estate is like an island of non scumbags, but we're totally surrounded by them.

Anybody here skimboard?

Its a sealed government letter is it not? I would assume they arnt allowed tamper with them at all.

AFAIK, they come in one sealed envelope, but it's up to the school then to sort them individually to give to students. I think there may be an overall record sheet for the school to keep as well. If spurious is around some day, ask her, she explained it before; I've never been involved in that side of things.

After they got them in the morning , my school put our names on our own envelope to hand them out. One of my teachers asked me what i got, she said oh i only get a sheet which says ex 5 A's , 6 b's ..etc with the exam numbers beside them but she doesn't know our exam number , i think just the principal/who ever is sorting the results will look up exam numbers to match your name

SO I was just walking uptown to collect my heels for the debs. There's this psycho old lady who lives in my estate and she's on the footpath with a pillow and blanket beside the "no ball playing" sign protesting against kids kicking around a ball :pac:

In previous years she has chained herself to the local goalposts to stop soccer being played in the grass :P

The advantages of living in the middle of the country :cool:

Does anyone know if we will see CJ in GTA V? I'd be delighted to know if he is

Corvo Attano

Unlikely if they keep in line with IV which basically a new universe. However I have no doubt that there will be countless refeences to SA.

They might make a brief appearance of one of the previous protagonists or a main character. Like Salvatore Leone was in III, SA and LCS. But the chances of CJ appearing are low.

Kind of sounds like my estate to be honest :P
Except two years ago a drug dealer lived in one of the houses and he got raided by police. Doors smashed down and everything. The housewives were gossiping for weeks :P

Well if you think about, Grove Street is still there as in it will be in V so maybe an appearance but no missions or anything. It's possible right?

It's at 5729 now. Must be a temporary glitch on your end unless you're on your mobile?
