    Me doing my A-levels, Deciding not to go uni, but worked quite hard at school, now earn about 17k per annum, (peanuts), nobhead i used to know leaves school at 16, with 2 GCSE's, Uncle says no worries lad, heres a job at my carpentry firm, pays 40k a year, oh and by the way im giving up in 2 years, then the business is yours. (few years ago now, but people who don't deserve to land on their feet, but do, really ruins life for me).

    Just keep plugging away. I left school with only GCSE's and I am now a Java Developer making decent money ... had to start in the helpdesk and work my way up for 4 years to get here!

    Agree with this....

    I got A-Levels but had no idea what i wanted to do. Buggered about with a few different things then took a pay cut to get into IT as an apprentice. 5 years later and i'm deputy team leader looking after 1200+ servers on a national estate of some 180,000 computers. With the added on call work, my salary from starting has almost trippled....

    Radio 5. Was never beautiful but now ruined by the likes of Robbie Savage on the sports shows and things like discussion about strictly come dancing and the death of Micheal Jackson.

    The Millenium Stadium. It's a fantastic sports ground but with the old National Stadium you only had a capacity of 40,000ish which meant tickets were like gold dust and went to regular rugby supporters. We now have a capacity of 73,000 and it is filled up by people there to try to get on TV. Up and down to the bar all match, hardly watching the game and when they do they haven't got a clue what is happening :x

    Ditto Lansdown Road (although the old stadium was a bit of a dump!).

    Ditto Murrayfield. Mind you it's not usually more than half full anyway......

    I saw Wales v Scotland at Cardiff Arms Park twenty years ago - the Welsh fans at full voice singing Land of My Fathers (I think) was something to behold.

    Which leads me onto Rugby itself. I played for town and county during the late 80s and into the 90s, and find the modern game a bit dull now. I can't honestly recall the last time I saw any team bother with a set piece from a penalty... always kick kick kick the damn thing. Similarly, decent mauls have gone out of fashion - the famous All Blacks rolling maul of the 90s being the last time I saw that happen.

    Indeed, Union is now not so very different from League - which is a bit of a shame for both versions of the game.
