    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.

    I'm like a good 15cm away. Always been the same. A physio told me I'm the least naturally flexible person they've seen in a 30 year career

    Yes, and I do so every day.

    I thought it was a weird question, but apparently not judging from the replies.

    Not keen on being singled out but okay. Not being fat does not equal being flexible, evidently.

    I’m about as physically active as Father Jack Hackett, so that probably lends itself to me being less athletic than Harvey Price.

    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.

    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.

    The wrong TTHer went into medicine. Lewis would have pissed it through medical school with that level of recall.

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

    For someone so cack-brained and unagile, I'm pretty good at this kind of thing. I learned I was just about able to do one specific dexterity task when I was younger, but I'm not planning on testing if I still can, as it's something that seems like a good idea until the moment you actually do it.

    Once you get the A-level results to get onto the degree, medicine requires very little academic ability tbh.

    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 polytechnic

    AAA appears to be the lowest now for a standard application. I believe there were some accepting AAB when I applied, although UEA required AAA. Cambridge is A*A*A* these days.

    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).

    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.
    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.

    I've said it before but some of the international school educated people I was at med school with were borderline retarded.
