If you’re referring to the ratio of whiskey to water then it typically takes about 15 minutes to see the results. ---

I’m not sure how Baby 2.1 works, booting it up is not allowed. ---

Well, I thought that 2:0 was better, but 2:1 was still a good score. Especially after coming back from 0:1 down at the half. The game had all of the drama you could ask for, and that strike from Feilhaber was incredible! ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] Congratulations? But could you explain a little? [/QUOTE] In the UK, degrees are classed according to the mark you got. Best is first class, then second, then third. Second is divided into ‘upper’ and ‘lower’, hence 2:1 = ‘upper second’ = pretty damn good. Congrats **RT**!! (I got a third) ---

Congrats on the results Rev! Degrees are the same here in Ireland, 1, 2:1, 2:2, pass and fail. A Masters is slightly dfferent, there just 1, 2, pass and fail. I got my results last week, am sitting on a 2, but if I write a killer thesis I’ll get a 1. But thats not going to happen! ---

Congrats, **RT**! Well, if we are sharing our UK degree results, I have ‘satisfied the examiners for the degree of Master of Studies in Greek and/or Roman History’! Yay! Yes, ‘and/or’ is included in the name of my degree. Silly buggers. 🙂 ---
