If you could change an event in your life what would it be ?

[Robbod]

Hi all if you could change an even in your life what would it be and what would the consequences be ?

I would have made sure my sister failed her 11 plus. This would have mean`t she didn't get to go to grammar school and in all likelihood would have gone to the crappy secondary school i went to.

Secondly following this is 99% certain that she would not have done as well at school and wouldn't have had the grades to do A-levels and would not have been able to go into 6th form.

Thirdly this would have mean`t that she would have had to go to Boston College and probably have had to do something along the lines of nvq, gnvq etc which everyone looks down on.

Fourthly with less pressure on me and seeing that she can fail at things i would have been able to be more successful.

So as you can see I would not be denying my sister any opportunities just giving her crappy opportunities which lead to a dead end.

Are you twins?

Seems a bit harsh no?

She is 5 years older than me.

 

[Robbod]

You are jealous, sad and bitter and blaming someone else for your own failings.

Grow up.

Why am i been bitter ? just having a discussion

 

[Robbod]

It’s not a discussion, it’s a woe is me whinge.

Why didn’t you pass your 11 plus, why didn’t you go to grammar school?

It was over 20 years ago i can`t remember.

 

[Robbod]

Worst 'my sister isn't a failure like I am' thread ever.

I wonder whose second account this is.

I`m not a total failure

 

[Robbod]

Do you get along with your sister now OP and have you told her about how you wish she was a failure, probably like yourself?

I get on ok with her, i have said something along that line yes it upset her.

 

[Robbod]

Why do you consider yourself a failure and her a success?

She has a better job than me, more expensive house.

my youngest daughter didn't pass her grammar school test (my oldest was in already) she went to secondary ,then Warwick unI then UCL now a doctor of science ,working with (not for) the government ,so dosnt always figure (although my eldest also has an awesome job in heritage)

That`s good did she go to 6th form or college after ?

 

[Robbod]

Is it too late to redeem yourself?

I kind of know what you mean though, I have a sister who did quite well.

I`m to old now

 

[Robbod]

yeh missed that bit out 6th form ironically the school was called free grammar but was a normal but good secondary

I see.

 

[Robbod]

It's never too old?

I`m 33, have a mortgage to pay, no chance of changing jobs in the current climate

 

[Robbod]

resume of a natural born loser

Maby your right

 

[Robbod]

You seem to be a bitter person who blames others for your own downfall, your sister took the chances she got, you didn't. You don't even remember why you didn't pass.

You probably didn't pass because you didn't care and possibly thought somehow, someone, maybe parents, will sort it all out for you.

Life is not easy but blaming others doesn't help but shows your own ignorance.

You have a home, that is an achievement. Stop comparing yourself to others and be content with what you have, a lot of people will envy to be in your situation.

Just like to see her fail once.

What was wrong with Boston College?

When i was growing up if after you had completed your GCSE`s if you were clever you went to 6th form (Alford, Horncastle or Skegness grammar) where as if you were not you went to Boston College.

 

[Robbod]

I'm obviously not clever enough then (I attended Boston College and acquired a BSc as a result)

You must be the one who slipped through the net.

 

[Robbod]

You're trash, no really you are complete trash.

Regardless, if she failed her 11+ and had to go to a "crappy secondary school" then she still would have been a success because she would have done well enough to go to 6th form then Uni. You can't stop people being a success

I`m not trash, i still think things would be different.

I hope OP isn't real. Comes across like a right bitter weirdo. Who the hell joins a computer forum to wish misery on their sister?

Good grief!

I`m aloud to join and say what i like.

 

[Robbod]

And the day she does may well be the day you wish she hadn't.

Give me one good reason.

 

[Robbod]

Something else that does make me wonder how things would have turned out is what would have happened if my parents had decided to move from Lincolnshire in 1997 or 1998 instead of 2003.

If they had moved in 1997 my sister would have just finished her GCSE`s and in 1998 she would have been half way through her A levels and i would have been in the final 2 years of junior school.

Moving at this time would have undoubtedly have had a negative effect on herself with moving away from friends at that age and having to change schools or maby having to go to college instead.

Whereas for myself i would have been able to learn from her mistakes and improve and overtake her.

 

[Robbod]

What the **** is wrong with you? Are seriously still blaming your Sister for you being as thick as pig ****?

I am not thick as pig sh!t as you so eloquently put it.

 

[Robbod]

lmao that your sister is better than you in every conceivable way

Feels that way sometimes.

 

[Robbod]

Especially in the sack!

Don`t say things like that
