    1. My A-Levels results story: Sky News were filming at my sixth form and they wanted some students they could be reasonably sure had good grades to open their results in front of the cameras. One of the students they chose was me.

    I'm not the most emotionally expressive human so, when it came time to open the results, I opened my envelope, was pleased with my results, looked into the camera and said "Yeah, a lot of As. It's good."

      When they showed the segment on Sky News later, they showed the expressive and weepy jubilance of the student next to me and, as the camera started to pan to me, they cut the segment. Teenage Simon: too cold for TV.
