Two Es And A Fail Please

I am sat at my mundane job
surrounded by the mundane people
when I hear the words

"Oh yes but he's always been more artistic and sporty
Whereas I'm more academic"

Its A-Level result day and all I can gather from
overhearing these twits is that
the speaker's brother has got an A, B and C.
The O.T.T voice does not come from around here
Oh no - to admit to being a Northerner would be
like admitting contracting an STD from a rottweiler

She is so up herself that it must hurt
She really believes that A Level results
can distinguish one person from another
My God, is that why I feel so insignificant in this huge horrible world.

The A Level result

My two E's and a fail obviously condemned me to a life
of carnage and misery
