How ironic is this?

Some of you followed my redundancy woes last year and some know that I ended up in a top job.
Basically made redundant after 27 years, asked to go on a Ready To Go Course in Clinical Support by the Jobcentre and ended up being taken on in a top job dealing with all 14-19 year old students (not patients) who pass through the hospital.
Up to yet I have been wheeled out 3 times to give a speech to top brass about what the NHS has done for me and regulary mix with Doctors, Consultants, Professors etc.
This morning I have received a letter from College telling me I haven't passed my Ready To Go Course :eek:

Am I in breach of contract

It would depend on what your contract says and whether you put on your CV that you'd actually passed it.

Also congrats on the epic fail.

I regret to inform you that you have FAILED

R.O.S.S.I · 12 Jul 2008 at 12:34

You lose.

Well then yes the contract is voidable due to mistake (due to your misrepresentation).

I still don't understand the question you were asking?

I've been given a chance to go into College on August 4th to redo work, I'd better keep schtum until then.

Can't you do the course again?

Were you drunk when you put this thread up?

I'm failing to see any irony here.

I wasn't but I'll ask one now, why would you say you'd completed a course when you clearly hadn't?

Sorry lads but I fail to see what you're not understanding.
I'll put it in very simple words that chavs can understand.

1 - In January I went on a course at the hospital
2 - I ended up in a really good job because of that course and was told I walked it (anybody could)
3 - I've just received a letter saying that I failed it.
4 - It is ironic because I got the job because of a course that I failed.
5 - It is also ironic that 3 times I've given speeches to top brass about the course and what it did for me.
6 - I am worried

Just keep quiet about it and see how the retake goes.

Thats more ironic than anything so far

But yeah, find out why you failed it, redo it, then forget all about it.
