August Intake

PapaYankeeGirl

Well I couldn't resist making an August thread. Does anyone else reckon calls will start this week or next? I wonder who will be the first to get the call? Oooh its so exciting.

PEGGYSUE'S MAMA

oooohhhhh i really want the call to come in my direction... coming into work and banging my head on the same spot on my desk is really starting to take it's toll.... losing the will to live every day.... who'd work in the public sector....... me, but only if it's the polis!:D

PapaYankeeGirl

Tell me about it. Hate hate hate my job. Need out before I go insane! When you tick 'no mental illness' on the MHQ by the blooming time the call comes you do have a mental illness.

Willing to bet my left gonad that calls will start this thursday.
Good luck to all those waiting

PapaYankeeGirl

I was reckoning thursday as well. Fits exactly with the time frame of the July calls:)

my STD test came back all clear which is good though

1979SD

If its early knock off today are we taking it as no calls going out then?
Suppose there's a very good chance no-one from the boards got in the Aug intake and it may be a case of waiting until October.
A friend of mine has a sisiter who has her dates for Aug SID etc - no idea if its a deferral or they just had the call this week but the dates match with what i would expect - i only speak to them once in a blue moon though.
Is it time to put this one to bed and settle down for a nice long wait again???

bc84

i think your probably right. time to forget about it for another 8 weeks? jeez. i would have thought there'd be maybe one or two who got the call from here for august. definately wasnt expecting it myself, not even sure if i'll get the october call lol

smyff

no point in giving up hope yet. theres still loads of time left for the calls, if theyve started. i reckon the person youre talking about defered. 8 weeks for the calls for oct? i dont think its that far away is it. its most likely that theyll be out in about 6-7 weeks! if even.

bc84

well was looking that the calls for each intake are usually every 4 weeks or so, so once the august calls are done you'd be looking another 4 for the september intake if there was one, then another 4 for the octobe intake? either way, we're all used to the waiting lol im just struggling to put it out of my head now

1979SD

I'm pretty sure there isnt a september course, due to the way there spaced out - you may get a course right at the end of a month then miss a month anf get the next course at the beginning of the following one if you get my drift.
The courses will still be spaced apart the same its just that a start date won't fall in one particular month of the year

I hope so mate; just have another 'wee' formality to pass and don't think it'll be in time for the Aug calls.

I didn't think calls would go out this week anyways, with the festivities etc.; I'm off all week!:cool:

Will be my last week off in July if I ever do get in!lol

PapaYankeeGirl

Maybe they will start next week. Though by the boards masterminds calculations they should have started last week. My star sign for July says that I will receive a job offer on the 20th (monday). Would make a nice wee pressy for my birthday this month. LOL

You might not get the letter till Saturday or Tuesday if that was 'the call' (im sooooooo hoping it was). Dont think they ring back. Maybe you could ring them and play dumb- Say you are going on hols to Louisiana!! LOL

Awww man,no call backs?? Shikake. That's even worse eh. Yeah i was thinking of phoning them & saying summit, though i don't think they'd go, oh yeah we were trying to phone you!

Anyways, ah well, just goes to show that i shouldn't drive with the music so goddamn loud lol!!!

Woulda been worse had you answered the phone whilst driving. Im pretty sure thats against del law. You good upstanding law abiding citizen you. Hardy har har!!!!!! No call backs sweetie. Sit it out. Youve come this far. Whats another few days. (Lifetime). As long as you werent listening to the Vengaboys its like a wheelbarrow. All in front a ye.

bc84

i reckon lou should fone appointments on everyones behalf, find out if it was them, then we at least know if it was the call.

all those in favour say AYE




AYE

Louisiana 1927

Aint heard owt, reckon it was a false alarm:(.

Louisiana 1927

So seriously, do you peeps reckon that the calls for Aug have gone already & we haven't heard anything at all?? I mean surely someone on here would've heard something even if it were that someone else got a call????

Just thinking that somehow we wouldve heard if they'd defo went out either through someone posting or through word of mouth.

Well i s'pose it's possible that they went out & nobody on here was amongst the lucky chosen few, though i find it a bit hard to believe given that there are such a range of peeps (from late 200's right through to us knocking around in the 300's) on here & if a call came we'd surely hear about it some way.

bc84

i feel the same lou. i sometimes forget that its not guaranteed that someone on here will actually get the call in a specific intake. it seems unlikely though that there wouldnt have been even one person but theyd be leaving it quite late in the day to start fonecalls next week instead. who knows...

well done Testarossa!!!

Brilliant news!!

Cheers folks!

I'm absolutely delighted, but being a 'the glass is half empty and is going to be empty soon' kind of guy I am I'm sad that I will have to grow my hair for another substance test, I look a bit simple any time my hair gets longer than an inch!

Still, I think the positives outweigh the negative, huh?

Don't think my work will be happy with me, and are very unlikely to give me time off for the induction day.... wait a sec, what's this??? *cough cough* suspected swine flu? Better stay off that day.... :P

How many intakes are there left this year after August, 3? Things are looking very good for everyone else I'd say! With my GCSE in additional mathematics, and literally seconds of careful calculation I'd say that I'd expect at the very least 50 more non RCs in before end of the year.
