>> Your worst year..

[Disco Potato]

2004 or 2005

[Slade]

1999. Started high school and it sucked. The whole year just felt wrong.

[Dr. Acula]

Last year sucked, but this year sucks cause a) my grades this year actually matter and b) my friend moved to Australia, so not as much entertainment for me this year.

[Levian]

I'd say 2002, but I kinda like how you can write it both ways and it won't matter. I guess 2001 is kinda lame since all the lame members joined then. :mog:

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

2007. But I can't say I'm all too familiar with activities in the late 80's

[Jess]

The beginning of this year was really rubbish and things are just starting to look up.

I'll go with 2003.

[Firo Volondé]

Uh... 2000 or 2001, can't remember which.

[Cloudane]

Hmmm.

Probably 2001, the year that I sat on my backside sponging off the state and my parents and being absolutely hopeless at applying for jobs. Getting put on New Deal (a school-like government scheme for bums, idiots and criminals claiming jobseekers allowance to try and coerce them into getting a job) was also highly humiliating - getting treated like a naughty schoolkid when you're 19 is not good.

Plus of course the world changing for the worse on 9/11, if you were to factor world events into it.

[Jowy]

2005 was pretty crappy.

[Meat Puppet]

Although saying my worst year was 2000–2003 is kind of cheating, they really were like just one long, horrible year.

I know exactly where you're coming from! I'm on that, though I desperately want to come off it, because the people at A4E (the company that did our Gateway to Work course) are so patronising! Or stoned... allegedly!

Anyway, 1997 was a bit of a crap year for me. My mum got made redundant, our tumble dryer gutted our kitchen and smoke-damaged the rest of the house (well actually we lived in a multi-floored maisonette), I got beaten up at school and went through two court cases to try and prosecute the guy who did it, but he got off when he admitted he punched me (he had been saying he slapped me).

My years from 2003-present have all been up and down really.

[Resha]

This one. year. things. I am angry now. I want it to go away already!

[Polaris]

Last year was horrible to me! This one is not the worst but it's not the bad either!

Rathbone did ours. I don't think they were stoned (some of the other clients, maybe! We had some right characters!) They were exactly like teachers though *shudder*

Still got my Gateway to Work certificate It's hardly something I'd put in my CV though, it'd surely put employers off rather than attracting them haha

Soz, I've gone off topic. Do continue.
