I am the best (or how I am what I am)

 
My name is : <Alex Gough>

I live somewhere in Christminster, near Beersheba and somewhere in Albrickham
I was born in August 1980 in Northhamptonshire at my parents home
I am of varied descent, English, Scottish and Irish in roughly equal parts
To tell you the truth though, I'm a southern pansy through and through
I went to St. Peter's primary school in a district of Albrickham where I was persecuted by some teachers, misunderstood by others and ignored by some, the headmaster was good though. While at St. Peter's I went to Minehead and to France on school trips, winning the prodigious "Monk of the Week" award of which I am proud.

For various reasons that I have never really understood myself, despite what I have told other people, I became a boarder at Aldbrickham school. I was able to live in West Wing House the entire time although it did require some intrigue and dodgy deals to achieve this. Eventually I enjoyed myself there so I suppose it was worth it in the end. I was always good at sciences and maths but bad at languages, for this reason I was placed in bottom set maths and top set french for one year, don't ask me, I didn't make the rules. Eventually I was able to make my true abilities known and I was demoted to bottom set for french. I took Key stage three exams and found them to be utterly pointless, a view which I have maintained in the face of no evidence whatsoever to the contrary. After that came the arduous task of choosing which GCSEs to take. I opted for german, technology and history as additions to the compulsory choices. 

German was a silly move as I have about as much talent for languages as a cucumber, technology was fun but doomed from the start by a teacher who was far too nice for his own good and never made us do our work. History was entirely excellent and I almost took it for A-level, I remain interested in it today, especially the long term history of humanity and the history of technology. I also took the exam in Religious Studies, which was pointless as I wasn't half as nice as I should have been when I took it, oh well. I mostly liked all of the other subjects (other than french) and I had plenty of fun during the rest of the time. Roofs and squirrels come strongly to my mind.

Anyway, this is what I got in my GCSEs:

  • A - Additional Maths
  • A* Maths
  • A* Physics
  • A* Chemistry
  • A* Biology
  • A History
  • A English
  • A English Literature
  • B Technology
  • B French
  • B German
  • B Religious Studies
After this came my A-levels and some silly camping holidays, I became a lifeguard, working at school and at Bulmershe Leisure Centre and I got in everyone else's way. For some undivined reason I was made a house prefect and house captain for badminton and chess, I also gate-crashed the elocution competition and arranged the choral piece, causing us to win (I can't take all the credit though, HB ES RB BK and others did more than me). I came to dominate West Wing and disagree with East Wing on reasonable grounds. I also got a gold award in the British Physics Olympiad but I did not get through to the final practical round, I did get a job though which was possibly much more useful.

I took my A-levels, was sick everywhere during the party after my last exam then spent the summer working for AEA-Technology at near Alfredston, where they let me play with lasers, which was nice.

In my A-levels I got:

  • A - Maths
  • A - Further Maths
  • A - Physics
  • A - Chemistry
  • 1 - Physics Special Paper
Because of all those As I'm now studying physics as an undergraduate at Barney McGrew's College, Christminster. I do lots of stuff now, just look in Paper for more details.
