And frankly, it's something I don't shout about!

How spooky's that - all of this applies to me. I think I've only used the letters "Bsc(Hons)" after my name once

I'm just enjoying it for a couple of days. then i'll stop going on about ti

I use my BA(hons) on my CV but that's about it

This is getting weird!

A colleague at work said exactly the same... his certs are in a brown stiff-back envelope which he assumes his mom still has hold of!

:O

Is there something of a connection going on here?

Oddly, during the ardous slog of academia, it's a little dream to get those letters after your name... but upon achievement, it's almost inconsequential.

Congrats mate, id buy you a drink on Saturday but not sure if I can make it.. it depends how cheap I can get a train ticket for.. if I make it.. ill shout you first round..

Btw.. I have letters after my name.. 4 of them.. they spell my last name.. I dont use them much.. they aint much cop.. some people put letters after my name.. usually they spell a word too.. but not my last name.. i cant really repeat them here..

Congratulations.
Being a Yorkshireman I'll let YOU celebrate by buying me a pint on Saturday!
Enjoy showing off your letters while you can. A few years down the line and you may find it a dyslexics nightmare to get them all in the right order... actually if you are a proper student you should have already encountered that problem using a different method!

Really spooky this Mum and brown envelope stuff. My Mum died earlier this year and amongst the accumulated stuff was a brown hard-backed envelope with all of my certificates, diplomas, cycling proficiency and 25 yards etc. How do they manage to magic it all into their possession and disappear it like that???

Congrats LTBSc!

Congratulations Lawrence, you should party like its 1999.

I've also got letters after my name they're- ars... only joking its just BSc(Hons) and only use them in work on my business cards.

Like a lot of other people I think my grad papers are in my mums house in a similar stiff brown envelope.

Which I find funny as everyone thinks you get a rolled up scroll.

Well done that man ....

Ye still going on about that L-dawg? Well done my son. Me I dont even have a decent gcse nothing higher then a D.....

Congratulations, apologies for the delay, but haven't had time to catch up with you guys for ages.

Well done, you should be really proud of yourself, you all should, I've never been to uni, but do hope that one day, some how, I will also get some letters after my name, if not through study, then through depoll, or through crime (e.g. Anaryn (wanted)).
