Congratulations.

What's the next step (if you don't mind me asking)?

Im going to be starting a postgraduate certificate in play therapy, with the aim to become a child play therapist, focusing on looked after children with experiences of attachment issues, trauma and abuse. will probably work up to a masters level again (do the certificate, diploma and then a MA), do that for a few years and consider a doctorate (perhaps educational psychology)

Wow I would crumble in the face of that many years studying. Getting my BA Hons was enough. Fair play though (no pun intended).

C&H Arrived this morning.
Looks pretty good although the pictures don’t do it. justice.
V17 Fanchurian.
I’m using it tonight but unsure if i’ll like it.
Seems to have more Gel than anything iv used before & im not a fan.
Saying that i guess it will be ok

Yeah Rob did a brief heads vid when he got the v17 in saying it is the most gelled that has been made for him (think he titled it 'Jelly Knot'), he said himself that it's not really his thing so a hard pass.

On the other hand nice looking handle, you're worse than I am at this point!

You bunch of overachievers, I was pleased to graduate highschool

 

[hotmetal]

Dave to be fair I kind of fell out of school. Didn't go to uni until I was 27

 

[Dickie]

Only went to uni to play rugby, broken femur ended pro rugby career, then shattered kneecap ended pro football career so had to find a job aged 23 with only Alevels and quite poor ones at that, only allowed to stay at school to play rugby, academia was not my friend.

 

[TobyC]

Too cool for school, dropped out of high school, got a GED later. Had a job, money in my pocket, cars, guitars, and many other things to do.

 

[Paul L]

Left school on my 14th birthday - it was a Thursday.
Started work as a roofers mate the following Monday.
Fed up with teachers sending me out of the classroom at every opportunity, so hardly attended anyway.
I never once looked back or regretted it.

Oh i think we’re as bad as each other.
Yeah i seen that video.
Where do you reckon his knots come from ?
China perhaps.
You would have thought he would have an input in the amount of gel he wanted i.e none but clearly not.
That’s my last,
Don’t want the v18 when it arrives.
Think it would need to be pretty special for me to order another unless he started doing custom which i doubt but i can always go to Turn N Shave for that

 

[Crossan]

Oh i think we’re as bad as each other.

I reject that conclusion wholeheartedly on the basis that it's too accurate!

Can't be absolutely sure but to be fair it seems to be where most badger hair originates, so it's probably a fair guess.

You would have thought he would have an input in the amount of gel he wanted i.e none but clearly not.

Absolutely, but I suppose there's horses for courses. Some people love them so there'll be a market regardless. Not my cup of tea at all, at the moment I'm loving the boti offerings so I'll probably stick to them for the time being.

And yeah his selling strategy seems to work for him so I can't see him doing customs any time soon.
