I just finished all my GCSE's and had my school prom last night (v. good fun-got a limo) :D
I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who said good luck in my exams and share the fact that I now have 2 months of freedom before I start college :D :D

wtf? gcse's, proms?
Well done Liam. I trust your enjoyment of the school prom was enhanced by the result from Lisbon, no?
For GCSEs, read Inter-Cert. As for proms, not a scooby, I'm afraid. :DQuote:

The prom is known as the "Debs" in the Rebel County( or at least in Cobh anyway :D ). End of school dance etc.
In England the schooling system is a wee bit different. We have 11 compulsury years of schooling divided into Primary (first 6 years) and secondary (next 5 years).Quote:

which is what I've just finished :D
Next bit is simpler-once all the exam have finished we have a big dance at school called a prom. Everyone hires limo's, the boy's wear suits, the girls wear dresses and afterwards we go back to one of the various parties going on and get very drunk :D
Hehe ya posted just as I was typing out ma post :DQuote:

:D Sounds Class!
Aye (unfortunatley) I'm not growing up in Cobh or Tipperary but sunny Surrey instead :rolleyes:
It's not to bad; the main problems are we're pretty deprived in the way of Gaelic games and some people don't take kindly to Irish shirts ;)
I'm thinking of heading up to London to watch some GAA sometime because it only takes me about an hour to get to Waterloo but I'm not sure where the stadium is or anything-anyone able to help me out?
well done on finishing your exams!! hope you get the results you want.
enjoy your break :cool:
