Good news

My eldest grandchild who is 18 and suffers from Asperger syndrome which affects his physical co-ordination as well as causing a few other problems has got a place at Oxford.

So I am pleased that his future may be a little less uncertain ( not guaranteed of course )

That is great news - well done to him.

And you have proved that Good News and sirearl in one sentence is possible!

 

[CRichardson]

That's great news, and also a great motivator for many.

I have plenty of good news,its the rest of the world that is in trouble.

Hence why my posts are never about my own situation but generally on behalf of the less fortunate..:|

Congrats to the grandson - Oxford is a beautiful place full of beautful people, mind I would say that - both of my male brats are from there!!

Will admit finding it hard though to reconcile Earl with such an imperialist symbol as Oxford .... <wanders off shaking head!>

The clues in the name,most sober people might have noticed.

Thats great news Earl and an inspiring story behind it no doubt.

Worth bearing in mind when we all moan about trivial things (well I know I do before I stop myself!)

Yup the kids are like rabbits on steriods.

I suspect they are trying to make up for the 50% of the family wiped out by a nasty little bloke with a funny moustache when his laddies visited .

Why is this good news? You want your grandchild to mix with public school boys including Old Etonians, and rub shoulders with the rich and privileged?

You want him to get a first class education and probably go into banking? To use the upward mobility this country has to become part of the elite?

Just like the Labour cabinet ministers who send their kids to public school: 'do as I say not as I do'.

The good news is that he gets away from you.

Pure projection laddie.

Disatisfaction with the way society treats its less fortunate members is hardly anything to do with genus Vitis.

That's great, congratulations too him

 

[internetspaceships]

Good luck to him. I do hope you don't subject him to the same twaddle you subject us to about people who get on and achieve though.

I wish him all the very best.

Oh I suspect his mum has already taught him how societies mainly run on graft and corruption.

would we have had this thread had the Grandson got in at a much lesser University than Oxford??

I hope so

You mean Cambridge.:|

Certainly would,or maybe you have not read any of my previous posts.

I am pleased that he has been able to achieve as much considering his handicap.

 

[Matt1959]

You mean Cambridge.:|

no I mean lesser places perhaps University of Glamorgan for example (no slur on Glamorgan but Oxford it aint) Would we have had a thread entitled grandson got into Glamorgan? Oxford - I thought you hated anything elitest:| strange thread title thats all...in your shoes I would be praising the guys acheivement in getting into Uni...
