Well I've just qualified as an English teacher, so I'm bound to be biased! But seriously, unless you're considering doing Law at uni, I think you should do English. Is there any chance of doing combined language and literature? That's what I did at A Level and what unis and employers prefer, I believe. Just looks a bit better. My English A' Level has helped me a lot, both in my further education and subsequent employment.

They do offer a joint language and literature course, but I decided on language because a) I might need the spare space to re-take GCSE Maths if I fail to get a C and because it interested me more than literature.

For those of you that don't know, I'm all geared up to start college in September. I have to choose 4 subjects to take at A-Level. I have settled on 3 so far, PE, Media Studies and Psychology. For my 4th choice, it is between English Language and Law.

For the record, over the 2 years I would be studying, in English Language:

Analysis of texts,

Relations between how males and females use language differently,

Editorial Writing,

How children learn to talk and where the EL comes from,

2 coursework pieces,

Plus a total of 4 assessments.

In Law, I would by studying:

Sources of Law - how laws are made by parliament and judges,

The English Legal System - study of the courts and alternatives to settle civil cases, the legal profession and the role of everyday people (juries and magistrates) in making legal decisions,

Criminal Law - Property offences, offences against people and defences,

Criminal Law Special Study - General defences of duress and necessity.

There are also lots of one off activities and lessons, such as the writing of defences, the consideration of cases from a jury's perspective (guilt or innocence), handling of recent and past cases, handling of legislation, and visits to local criminal courts. A select few of us will attend presentations by the College of Law.

My thinking at the moment is that Law will provide me with an alternative career choice should opportunities in my first choice prove difficult to come by, which is a possibility.

I know that there are a lot of college and uni students on this board, and that is why I have chosen to ask the question. If anyone has had direct experience of either, or both, subjects, please let me know.

Thanks.

But then I've got curves...I wouldn't wanna be a stick... 36DDs is a bonus..

Watch out for some of the older perverts on here now you've said that. :winkold:

I'm a young perv, so I've got an excuse.

I'd hardly say irrelevant. You don't want to spend your life looking at your missus going "ffs, wish she'd lay off the cake" while watching the bulges of fat ripple as she waddles along..

That really made me

Hmm, difficult one for me this.

While I'll be the first to admit that curvy is better than stick thin, the middle ground amongst the majority of girls in my age group (16 for those who don't know how old I am) seems to have been lost. There is, bluntly, either thin or fat.

I haven't voted in the poll, but as a rule, 10 is good for me.

Just to play devil's advocate, what if MON didn't want him but was just holding out for the highest bid?

MON is the man that has the right to be the most pissed off at this, and if he can forgive Barry and continue to play him, I'm sure we can forgive him.

Agree totally.

Considering what has happened, only if he issued a grovelling apology at a press conference.

Can't see it as hhe'd still want to go to Liverpool.

Yes, but if it turns out that he has to stay with the club because nobody bids for him, I think he should be made to apologise to the fans, players, manager...the whole club really, i front of the media.

I think he has to do something to show that he has thought better of his actions and comments, but something involving public humiliation isn't realistic or necessary.

Maybe, but MON does strike as having a ruthless streak in him, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was made to do something publically as an apology.

Tom was invited to his friends' house for dinner. He found that his buddy called his wife every cute name in the book: honey, darling, sweetheart, pumpkin and baby.

When she was in the kitchen, he leaned over to his friend and said, "I think its nice you still call your wife all those pet names."

"To tell you the truth," his friend said, "I forgot her name about three years ago."

Can You Feel It - The Jacksons

A man is standing in the kitchen and he shouts to his wife "Come and have a look at this clock", the wife comes in to find her naked husband stood in the middle of the kitchen looking at his erect manhood. She says to him, "Thats not a clock." To which he replies "It will be with 2 hands and a face on it."

I'm sick and tired of people making fun of other people with erectile dysfunctions!

Don't you think things aren't hard enough for them already!?

What does a clitoris and the Antarctic have in common?

Men know its down there somewhere but really don't care.

Thats a womans joke, shame on you!

Sue me - it made me laugh.

Lots of criticism at the moment is being targetted at "Lad's Mags" such as Zoo, Nuts and Loaded. People are saying they are immoral and degrading to women. Conservative MPs have even stated that they are willing to be interviewed in such magazines to elaborate on why they are a bad thing.

But, trust me, thats never going to happen. You never see a word removed in a Lads Mag.

Halfway through a book called "Pointless", which goes through what an average season with Scottish Third Division side East Stirlingshire - the worst team in Britain.

Bloody hell, that sounds gripping... :|

It is actually, because they're bloody awful.

Kevin Keegan is the only good thing about Newcastle, and he's not even that good - he's just a likeable bloke. So no.

This one might sit uncomfortably with some, but it is a parody of an advert.

Eighteen year old Virgin.

No recollection from the victim.

No witnesses.

Carlsberg don't do rapes.......

Current Lincoln manager Peter Jackson.
