Are you serious?

If I have to wait over the weekend I seriously don't know how I'm going to manage.

Hey all. I'm new to the forums and everything but just wanted to wish all of you the best of luck. Also I've been distracting myself with youtube so here are some of the best worst one liners/puns/pieces of acting in case anyone's like me and needs an alternative to sitting there and freaking out. :wink:

Haha it's a brilliant vid. And that is one freaky baby :lol: My favourite is around the 3.08 mark - ' I iced that guy.. to cone a phrase'. Pure genius :) To think that a man can get elected to public office on a platform consisting solely of these films and his ability to lift heavy things..

Wow this is getting tedious now. It was easier when no one knew but now it's just unfair! How do we know Tokyo doesn't have the results yet? Have people been calling? (Not that I disbelieve anyone...) x

They [UK jet desk] will probably have the results now, it's just when Ottawa received them, the UK was out of office hours (around 6pm).

So they could either be really mega on the ball and get the results out by the evening post, meaning we might get results tomorrow, or we might not see results until Friday.

I just phoned the JET UK desk and they *still* haven't heard from Tokyo, but they hope to soon. And we should know before the end of the week.
I feel for them, they must be getting so many impatient calls!
I need to stop checking this forum... It's hard (but exciting!) to see the US get their results, and surprising that New Zealand and Jamaica have received their results before us. (Ok the UK isn't the centre of the world...but still! lol :wink: )

Aaah... Why is it that the last stretch is always the hardest..? :oops:

Wow, I'm surprised that they still haven't got the results since quite a few other countries have even if they haven't sent them out yet. Unless they come today and they manage to post them today as well, I guess Friday the 13th it is!
