Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

A-Levelsi was a skiving little shit who still liked/managed to get a's. my friend vi worked her arse off and also liked to get a's.
just before our history a-level mock, i had done no work whatsoever. vi had just met her first serious true love (first of many as it turned out!) and had also, most uncharacteristically, done no work.
i drove a 1970s beetle which was beautiful but also very unreliable. so on the morning of our history mock, i spent ages persuading vi that we needed more time before this exam. eventually she cracked and we rang the school, said we were stuck at the side of the road, and went to the pub. three more days to revise. bargain.
both of us blitzed the mock as a result and we forgot all about it.
until the morning of the real thing.
when we got in vi's brand new 3 day old micra...... and it wouldn't start. now there's karma for you! we got there by the literal skin of our teeth, sweaty, tearful, verging on the hysterical and swearing never to lie again...
