At 17 you really don't know how lucky you are or what free time really is. If I could go back now I really would, maybe drink a bit less, read the signals but that 's all.

I'm smelling Troll.

Sorry, I think that's my aftershave. Eau de Rumplestiltskin.

If you want money, you bIoody well work for it you lazy sack of shit!

I had a job when I did my A-levels as I'm sure did most other people on here.

I worked in a restaurant/bar 2 Weeknights from 6-9 and then 4-12 on sat and 10-2 on Sunday. Still managed to go drinking, shagging, riding and somehow managed to fit in the time to do my a-levels (and get good grades) too. Birds were hot, tips were awesome, there were lockins AND I learned how to cook. Best job I've ever had!

MAN I wish I could afford to go back there! Being a "grown-up" sucks ass

Stop being such a whiney little scrote and MTFU!

i think you some it up quite well.
i worked from the age of 13, infact i did 2 paper rounds and ran my own skate business from 13 - 17 before getting a appreticeship and earing £35 a week till i was 20!

I used to love sunday peper rounds. Remember having to take every part of the sunday times apart to get it into the letterbox that was about an inch wide. Then there was the joy of putting the wrong one through the letterbox and having to wake the poor sod up to get it back.......

I did paper round, pub and gift shop. And still had time to spend all i earnt in the arcades. No wonder my A levels were so good.......

Get a job, sponge of parents or quit moaning.

Does that help you sleep like rohypnol

Jeez, doing A levels and having no time, next you'll be telling us you're going to uni and will have no time there too! When I did my A-levels I got in at least a couple of hours a day riding in and working for some pocket money a couple of times a week. You need to learn to work smart not hard

When you guys work out how to make money out of doing sod all, do let me know, I too would like to ride my bike more and make loads of money! For now I'll stick with contracting so I can take some holiday and not be skint or be on the dole.

I'm Studying my A-Levels now. I work every single day of the week to earn my money. Either you're prepared to find the time to work or you don't want the money that much!!

I did 4 A levels, and none of this poncy stuff, were sciences and maths. Was up at 630 every day to do an hour long round, then on to college. Back home at 6pm most days, except Fridays where we finished early and I'd do one of those free papers, 250 to deliver. Then afternoon rounds in the holidays, and of course sat and sunday rounds. Living with my Dad, did all my own washing, cooking and cleaning too. Still had time!

97th choice

I worked in an Asda warehouse from 8-11 3 nights a week, loading stock to go out onto the shop floor, alongside assorted shenanigans such as jumping of high tracking onto stacks of toilet rolls, or chugging cans of beer and then stamping flat the empties and hiding in cracks in the concrete floor.

pallet track races were the best though, happy days 'sigh'

Is this going to turn into the Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen sketch............?

You can't make money easily, you have to work hard in some way to earn it (unless you a fireman)

if you're studying for a levels then you're over 16, then so are the girls in your school, drug them with rohypnol and pimp them out...job done

i congratulate CWNT for having such a blaze of a time as a youth, although I would like to ask you to explain how I am whining and the whole point of this question is to find out what to do, to avoid being a sack of shoot. for a person who apparently got 'good' a-levels, you're not too good at putting two and two together. spongey, i'd just like to say that I work from 730am to 8pm during the weekdays.

thank you to anyone who contributed to answering my question.

Seriously....you need to grow up and pretty damn quickly.

How do you think the rest of us on here manage to get by?
I'm guessing that most of us work full time, probably in the region of 8-10 hours a day and still manage to find time to fit in family lives, social lives, any extra studying for work related things and then still manage to find time to go out and ride.

Maybe you should ask some of your school buddies and see how they manage? I'll guess that they do there school work then go out and do some kind of part time job to make money rather than searching the internet for ways of getting paid for doing sweet FA.

another idea:

sell your body to mental researchers for testing.

that's a bit harsh, I am sure all Firemen work hard in their 2nd and 3rd Jobs




Kids eh, and this is the future FFS :roll:

Reading stuff like this p!sses me right off.

I've been working since i was 14 (as i'm sure many have on here), as well as school work, social life, having the occasional sh!t etc. I did well in my GCSE's

I got a 'proper' part time job at 16 (which i am still doing 4 years later). I did it whilst doing 4 A Levels. Still had time for college work, social life, having the occasional sh!t etc. I did well in my A Levels.

Off to uni. Kept up the working 2 nights a week, Uni work, social life, having the occasional sh!t etc.

Im doing well so far. See the pattern?

MTFU, stop being so lazy and get a job. It teaches you valuable stuff (such as time management, discipline etc.) I bet your the sort who moans when your on a 6 week break saying your 'bored'. You have a lot to learn.

P.S apologies if it seems as though im blowing my own trumpet, but as i said before, lazy little cnuts p!ss me right off.

On a different note ;-)

Go to Paul's Cycles. Buy a bargain bike. Split it and sell parts.

Laurence25

Have you turned a profit on that yet?

Hahaha oh dear. I've worked 8 1/2 hours every saturday since I was 14, I'm now in the middle of doing 5 A levels (I did 6 AS last year), I go to the gym twice a week, 2 rides a week, 2 hours of kickboxing on sundays, CCF and I STILL have a huge amount of free time. A levels do not require 11 hours work a day.
