Bowers Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 An absolute disgrace of a Paper. My school studies the USA, and they gave us 3 questions, all of them on the Civil Rights Movement which is absolutely horrendous. Thankfully I did one of them as an Extended Essay so I was covered. My teacher was literally on the verge of tears. How was it horrendous ? I remember doing the civil rights movement in higher history and it was as easy as the other units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingapar Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 This was absolute heaven. I am in your debt. Summer would kill me without it. Itchy feet/legs get the same treatment. In the bath though. The wife thinks i'm mental, she doesn't know the relief she's missing out on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR96 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 How was it horrendous ? I remember doing the civil rights movement in higher history and it was as easy as the other units. It's just difficult to add argument into it as there's so much you need to talk about. You just end up rambling a load of shite about what happened - like a big story. For this reason the teachers advised us not to do Civil Rights unless it was absolutely neccesary. Of course, when they said this the pupils misinterpreted it as "don't even bother learning it". They usually have a question on Immigrant Groups in the USA and/or 1920s boom/bust. It was really shite how all the questions were on the Civil Rights Movement. There will be people who were well prepared for that and failed. The general concensus amongst the History teachers was that it was exceptionally easy! Does your school do the USA? I spoke to a girl from another school who did the Crusades and she said it was really easy. The other topic I did, Britain (1851-1951) was really easy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the word 'litter' without thinking of Anchorman... the video for Afternoon Delight where they're just walking through the park throwing litter and kicking over bins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 On Football Manager I signed the wrong player for £53M FML. This begs the question: who was the right player and who did you accidentally get instead? Note: if they were regens with names like Archibald Mpungu Fernandez Puff I reserve the right not to give a f**k. But if they were real players, enquiring minds want to know. Legend has it Morton signed Marc McCulloch in a case of mistaken identity with Mark McCulloch but I think that's been debunked already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They are both regens. The man I wanted was basically the reincarnation of Pele. The guy I got was a very reasonable European level striker come winger. Fuck you Carlos Cas*****nos! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing it's the namesake of former Twente starlet Luc, in which case there is a dreaded sectarian word therein. edit: Feyenoord, not Twente.
