Reply With QuoteFantastic news.
Just had one of the most prominent phone calls in my life - after a full day moving my eldest home after 3 years at uni- cracked open a beer and had a call from my wife
She's only got a 1st class honours degree- I'm grinning from ear to ear- so chuffed
She doesn't get it from me
Fantastic news.
Fantastic ! You must be very proud...
Cheers..

Must be catching, as this morning we learnt that our son has achieved a 2:1 in law from Newcastle University.
Proud doesnt even begin to cover our feelings .
Excellent news as you said I'm busting with prideOriginally Posted by Jega
Congratulations but as a West Ham fan you cannot imagine my diappointment at reading the thread after that title!
I'm afraid I know FA about football
That's really excellent, I bet she's worked very hard. My nephew has just received a Desmond which we are all very pleased with since he has concentrated on the extra curricular activities :)
She's a party girl but I think realised in year 2 that she could actually get a good result with some hard work
Fantastic, a great effort
I've got a geoff and a Desmond
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Congratulation
Congrats!
I always "thought" or hoped my daughter would go to Uni.........but she didn't......She recently started her first job though..........Enjoy the feeling!
Well done that girl - but isn't a Geoff Hurst a quick visit to the little boys room ?
No, thats a Gordon or a Sherman
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Sherman Tank - that's not what i was thinking of.
I had Geoff down as a quick burst as opposed to a Richard Pitt.
You could start a whole new thread on cockney rhyming slang. I was on holiday in April and met a family of Chelsea supporters: i'm off up the apples and pears if me plates of meat will support me and me mincers can see the door.
Cor blimey guv'nor leave it out - doing the Lambeth walk !!!
I usually go for an Eartha when I need a 10oz Rump...
Dont get it. Whats Geoff Hurst
Young man, Geoff Hurst played for West Ham and England and is the only player ever to score a hatrick in a world cup final for which he was eventually knighted.
However, during his playing career his name became used as cockney rhyming slang as in - going for a Geoff Hurst (a quick burst) - not sure what you kids call it these days, a number one, wee wee or a tinkle.
And in the context of the thread, a form of rhyming slang has developed for degree classifications:
A First is known as a Geoff Hurst/Damien Hirst
A 2:1 is known as an Attila the Hun
A 2:2 is known as a Desmond Tutu
A Third is known as a Douglas Hurd/Thora Hird
Thus, one can be awarded a Geoff (First), Attila (2:1), Desmond (2:2), or a Douglas (Third).
There are probably many variations.
Congrats what subject was she studying?
Thanks- psychology
Was it from the OU?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
No Twickenham Uni
Ditto.
Cheers,
Neil.

Geoff Hurst tried to chat my mum up once.
I've met him twice, I once (as a PC) escorted him off the pitch at Ayresome Park, then had a chat with him in Putney High St, when he was canvassing for the Conservatives.
Congratulations too to the OP well done!
When I was a student a Third was knoŵn as a Richard...
