I can touch my toes.
Yeah, sure.
Nope. Couldn't even do it when I was a lithe child.
I can.
Despite my massive girth I'm fairly flexible.
Yes, but we're risking a fart slipping out these days.
Yep. Had to check there now though.
Same here, never been able to get anywhere near it.Quote:

Not even close. No chance.
Nope. The slightest knee bend and I can though.
The weirdest thing being that a good 75% of them are TTH tabs.Quote:

That's one for the top 1% thread @randomlegend.
Yes, and I do so every day.
I thought it was a weird question, but apparently not judging from the replies.
It was a follow up question.Quote:

How the fuck can you not touch your toes @Baz? You’re like a twig.
Not keen on being singled out but okay. Not being fat does not equal being flexible, evidently.Quote:

Not keen on being singled out? I’d hardly call it singling out, rather more surprised, but you have posted here before haven’t you?
As a fellow twig, I'm nowhere close.
I cannot, but it only takes me about a week of stretching to be able to. I have no need to, so I don't bother.
I can, but it's definitely a fair bit tougher than it used to be.
Im short so I can still touch the ground with my palms.
Just, but my hamstrings protested loudly.
Stretching is utterly key to health, both physical and mental.
Also, is that tabs for Ashkan Dejagah I see before me?
Nah I was having an argument with mates about what the equivalent of ‘Bloods vs Crips but for Jews’ was and didn’t know how to spell it.Quote:

Scrap that. I just tried and I did it easily.Quote:

Lewis could have pissed it through anything, but his level of intelligence came with the high price of weird interests.Quote:

Sucking your own dick?
Yep, has got to be that.
Not really.Quote:

What's the worst a level results you could still get into a medicine course with? I assume the nature of the subject and future career means you couldn't get CCC and do it at Swindon polytechnicQuote:

Some places appear to do a Widening Access to Medicine scheme where if you fulfil certain eligibility criteria you can potentially get an offer with grades as low as ABB. Also UEA do a medicine course with a foundation year which has BBB as the requirement currently, but it was extremely competitive in terms of applications per place when I was there (way more so than the standard course).
I assumed the WAMS courses would only be open to people who were from properly impoverished backgrounds but those criteria for the Ruskin (as if Anglia Ruskin has a med school wot) course look pretty lax. Wouldn't be surprised if I'd have qualified under one of the ones based on going to a shit school.Quote:
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be considered for eligibility for WAMS, you need to meet at least one of the following eligibility criteria:
⦁ You are entitled to free school meals, Pupil Premium funding and/or discretionary school/college payments, which are directly linked to financial hardship.
⦁ You receive a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) at the 'enhanced' rate in either the 'daily living' and 'mobility' components, or the 'standard' rate in both components.
⦁ You have experienced local authority care for a period of longer than three months.
⦁ Your annual household income is below £42,875.
⦁ You are a person who has sole responsibility for the care, unpaid, of a person because they are ill, they have a disability, they are experiencing mental distress or they are affected by substance abuse.
⦁ You are a young person who is estranged from your family and you do not expect this situation to be reconciled.
⦁ You live in a neighbourhood which has a low progression rate to higher education (as determined by individual home postcode).
⦁ You attended a school at 16 where the percentage of 5 or more GCSE grades A-C (9-4) including English and Maths was below 35%.
⦁ You currently attend a school where the average points score per A Level entry is 20 or less.
⦁ You received a UCAT bursary.
"Are you crippled? Welcome to Med School."
I've said it before but some of the international school educated people I was at med school with were borderline retarded.
