Hello!

Alright, it’s Ant, I’ve got my results-will you tell Mum and Dad.

DECLAN WRITES DOWN THE GRADES ON THE PIECE OF PAPER AS ANT READS THEM OUT

ANT
Right, I got a D for Geography, a U for Biology, an N for Physics, on a more positive note, I got a C for General studies and an E for Maths. I’ve just gotta go and see if I got into any uni’s. See ya!

The weakest of this bunch I'm afraid. Easily telegraphed and a bit unbelievable.

Teary Sorry, mate, but he's right.
Still, we've seen some nice work from you so, over all, well done :P

Well I liked this one. You get a F U N N and a Y from me.

Hey-thanks for the feedback guys! A few people I have shown this to have said that they can see whats coming because it is being read, however, they think they wouldn't perhaps have realised if they were watching it-maybe they were just being kind Teary :D

I might try and see if there is another way in which I can go with this one.

Thanks again! Q!

Mm, I agree that it doesn't really work, it just seems a bit pointless really... it might have worked a bit better if it had finished:
