I feel that I'm educated enough:

12 GCSEs
4 A levels
BSc in Microbiology
PGCE
Grade 8 piano
Watched every series of X Factor!!

So of course, I'm completely educated. And I say that Olly should win :P.

And lovecat- love that you have Aqua! Me too!

[quote=lovecat86;36504891]Haha, how far back shall we go?

10 GCSES: all at Grade B except my A in German
4 A Levels: Psychology: B, Biology: C, Chemistry: C, General Studies: C
BSc degree in Human Psychology: First Class Honours
HUGE CD collection with everything from Aqua to Radiohead to Eminem to The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Watched every episode of every X Factor since it's birth.

Actually, when you put it all down like that... it's not as impressive as I thought it was. I think I'd better vacate this thread and find some uneducated ones to post in

P.S. My uneducated opinion is that Jamie is the best [/QUOTE]

Ah of course he is bless him.

I actually once met someone who had a Degree - does that count? I try to base all my posts on what I think they would say, so I really feel that I should be allowed to remain on this post.

I have a GCE Grade One in European Studies
(I know where it is and what currencies they all use..... oh hang on, did they change that bit?)

I also have an O Level in English Language, so I too also know the difference between there and their; where and were; are and our (how can anyone muddle these up?)

I listen to Terry Wogan, Chris Evans, Radcliffe & Maconie (is that musically diverse enough)

And, more importantly, I am a mum so obviously require skills including multi-tasking; infinite ingenuity; advanced cleaning and bio-warfare and how to bang head against wall without actually damaging the paintwork (sadly decorating isn't one of my skills). I also manage to get my child to school with the correct homework and dinner money each day and remember to collect him again in the afternoon.

Do I qualify?

Hmm...I've done a bit of song writing before at school. Does that count?

Nisi or Absolute?

I don't like to brag, so I won't. I am definitely supercilious enough to be in here - hell, I should stay just for using that word!

I have conversations with people who use really long words, so I think I should count as being educated enough to stay in this thread.

If that's not enough, I sometimes use long words myself too - like supercalifragilisticexpialidocius.

I also watched Music & Lyrics recently, so I know all about writing music and lyrics. I also used to go to music classes at school and I watched someone on tv play the piano once.

Am I educated enough to stay?

Hey Everyone, just spotted this thread!

Ummm, ok. Here goes:

6 B+ Highers (A Level Equivalents..ish),
HND Customer Services,
Bsc (Hons) Computing Games Technology 1st
Bsc (Hons) Audio Engineering (In Process)


All done without reading a book from front page to back too

Musical Qualifications :: .... I have had one track signed to a record label back in 2002, although at the moment I do only produce Electronica, primarily melodic trance minus any vocal input.

Don't have a particular favourite this year, but do enjoy the show more for entertainment value on a Saturday, rather than looking out for any prominent talent.

I have two CSEs, five 'O' Levels, two 'A' Levels and am currently two thirds of the way through a degree in Classical Studies, which I'm doing part time alongside working full time. Does that make me educated enough for you

My faves this year are Jamie and the twins!
