    Congratulations, Virgil - well done!!

    Recently gave a speech in front of all of my classmates, and it actually went alarmingly well. I feel proud of myself. I guess ending with "May the Force be with you" was a good idea, after all.

    Yes, Scher a check up never hurts. Just because you don't know what is wrong does not mean it will not get worse. It's best to know and take appropriate action.

    And I can't say enough that exercise is good.

    Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths and English Literature. I have to drop one but can't decide between Further Maths and English.

    Very good Lioness. What type of career would you like? If it involved sciences then I recommend you keep the math.

    I want to study physics at uni, but to do that i only need 3 subjects anyway. I know maths would be way more useful, but part of me just can't bear to give up english...

    lioness, my cousin is studying Physics. As much as you love English you are probably better off keeping math. Physics is though!

    Here's my boast:
    My hubsand was the first person to break the story that Elvis had died.
    He was working in radio news in Memphis at the time and received a tip
    from a nurse at Baptist Hospital that Elvis had died. It wasn't a story he
    really enjoyed breaking, but it sure made a name for him in 70's radio news circles. Got a lot of big job offers but declined them so he could move his family back to Arkansas.
