    I left school with 2 O levels. English and French.

    Hated school - and they hated me.

    For those who found the starter test a bit easy, here's a sample of the full 50 questions.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Well I got the swimming one wrong, but I was being a bit slap dash towards the end - when are we going to standardise on the 24 hr clock? (my watch is set to the 24 hr clock). Why is the boy being discriminated against?

    The cube with black quarters on some faces was a struggle - and I thought I had good spatial awareness.

    There is a lot more to hepatitis B than the trivial argument - it is only a fiver so just do it?
    I can see a lot of objection to compulsion and without it the UK would continue to be re-infected from the third world.

    As of 2004, there are an estimated 350 million HBV infected individuals worldwide. National and regional prevalence ranges from over 10% in Asia to under 0.5% in the United States and northern Europe. Routes of infection include vertical transmission (such as through childbirth), early life horizontal transmission (bites, lesions, and sanitary habits), and adult horizontal transmission (sexual contact, intravenous drug use).[58] The primary method of transmission reflects the prevalence of chronic HBV infection in a given area. In low prevalence areas such as the continental United States and Western Europe, injection drug abuse and unprotected sex are the primary methods, although other factors may also be important.[59] In moderate prevalence areas, which include Eastern Europe, Russia, and Japan, where 2–7% of the population is chronically infected, the disease is predominantly spread among children. In high prevalence areas such as China and South East Asia, transmission during childbirth is most common, although in other areas of high endemicity such as Africa, transmission during childhood is a significant factor.[60] The prevalence of chronic HBV infection in areas of high endemicity is at least 8%.

    wageslave <--loves mumsnet, hpc not so much

    Probably something to do with being a mother

    The brat is leaving home, a fact I am immensely grateful for. She lives like a pig and is dreadfully jealous of the girls.

    You have no idea how many nights she has stood at the top of the stairs screaming you love them more than me and stay out of my room you little monsters

    She is taking her hamster. Well if she doesn't I am throwing it into the garden with the cat.

    She is going to study law, she got straight "a"s. She is that kind of child. Obnoxious little show off

    I will not miss her. Not one little bit
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    She'll be back - if only to spite you.

    And ... it's not big OR clever to threaten poor fluffy hammy hamsters :(

    Are your girls with you ATM?
    Thinking of you (and them).
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I enjoyed that. Thanks GDB.
    Pity it only gives you a % and doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong or what the right answers to those ones are, though.
