To be honest i don't know but i'm back on the 'yeah i'm off to uni'
track at the mo so i'm not thinking about it.
Great that you've passed. As you were at Oxford the
degree's 'worth' more than say one from the University of Glocester
(i kid you not it exists -even though its main campus is in
Cheltenham)

Congrats again
