And I don't think I deserve the degree I got, as it involved very little work on my part, but you should still put it down. If it gets you the foot in the door doing the degree will have served it's purpose.
Ha! I'd never lie on a CV. I also don't think I'll ever apply for a job where I need one. But the principle's still there; it creates an expectation which I can't meet.

This is true. I wouldn't even acknowledge it if it were lower. (Of course it still may be, I've had no official notification.)

Charles did, akturlee.
To change the tone entirely, 4th anniversary of the London bombings today. It resulted in the first series-best-of Mock The Week episode. Looks like there was a nice service on today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8137265.stm
Congratulations, Aaron. That's a great achievement. 
Yeah, well done Aaron.

Poor zooo.
Yeah, cheers Azza!
Eh?
Recently.... the down sides of life are colossal..?
Ahem.
The down sides of a first.
Abort Abort!
Haha!
Where did you get the "life" bit from? Are you living in chipolata's bizzar-o world?
