They've been quoting from boards for the past few days now. They had a page of 'expert' tips & advice and then student's opinions. I just remember reading bythewoods' advice on here then reading it in The Irish Times the next day!

Yes, I'm an internet superstar.

I bought the Irish Times yesterday- not only did they quote a loadddd of my amazing boards advice, but in the same little pocket of the paper they quoted my blog (See signature if you fancy reading it.)

What can I say, I'm amazing.

Congratulations on becoming a superstar!!!!!

bythewoods

Thanks very much.

It's quite hard being so damn amazing- the paparazzi won't leave me alone. Outside snapping away as we speak.

Njoy your moment in the sun - or should I say The Times!

Lets not get too big for our boots now, it is I who had created the epic thread with just under 100k views, cited by several sources to be the first post about it on the interwebs, AND, just today I was contacted by PrimeTime asking about it :ppp

Now who's amazing?

ps. in the message from PrimeTime I was told this; 'Boards have passed the unedited version of your post where you saw a friend text you telling you the story' .... Thanks boards

ahh but I didn't
I said I got a text about the upcoming paper and the questions on it, and not once said what they were..

If anything, it was RTE.ie that alerted everybody, considering we all thought it was waffle until they actually confirmed it...

Thanks, Nope hes not, he has taught in the institute before, ashfield day and grind school, teaches in belvedere at the moment - the main classics teacher in the institute is a past pupil of his. He comes into our school once a week for a couple of hours to teach it - absolute hero!

Banter, you gave the exact same predictions as someone I know who like does classics outside school

lorna100

could easily be one of his students, guy who teaches in the institutes name is paul I think. either way both sets of predictions they give are the same, always are.

I look like a fool though, saying the leak isn't true!
