AFTERNOON! WC HERE! I’VE JUST POPPED UP TO KNOCK OUT A QUICK YARN ABOUT OPERATION CLEARING. IT WAS LAST AUGUST, AND TWO INCOMING PLANES WERE MERRILY FLYING INTO UNIVERSITY! EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL UNTIL...

“I’M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT,” I HEARD CHARLIE SAY OVER THE RADIO. “I’M COMING IN 20 TARIFF POINTS SHORT OF THE RUNWAY.” “I’VE GOT THE REVERSE PROBLEM,” PILOT SQUIFFY EXCLAIMED. “I’M GOING TO OVERSHOOT BY 10 TARIFF POINTS!”

“WE’D BETTER INFORM THE WING COMMANDER OF OUR SITUATION,” SAID CHARLIE, LEVELHEADED AS EVER!

“KEEP CALM CHAPS,” I ADVISED. “HELP IS AT HAND.” I TURNED TO OUR WARTIME SWEETHEART, ROSE GARDEN. “PULL YOUR FINGER OUT ROSE AND SCRAMBLE THE BOYS!” I COMMANDED.

QUICK AS A FLASH, ROSE SOUNDED THE ALARM AND OUR EXPERT TEAM WERE ON THEIR WAY!

THE CHAPS HAD COME DOWN SLIGHTLY OFF COURSE, BUT I WAS THERE, TO GUIDE WITH MY FIRM HAND! “SQUIFFY, WITH YOUR EXTRA POINTS YOU CAN REASSESS THE DIRECTION YOU TAKE”

“CHECK OUT THE UCAS INTERWEBSITE ON THIS MOBILE COMPUTATOR FOR INFO ON UNIS AND COURSES IN CLEARING.” BUT CHARLIE HAD FEWER TARIFF POINTS THAN EXPECTED, SO I SAID -

“CHARLIE, SEARCH FOR UNIS IN CLEARING ON THE INTERWEB. SEE WHAT SUITS YOU!.

REMEMBER! DON’T PANIC AND MAKE A HASTY CHOICE! YOU’LL BE THERE FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS AT LEAST.”

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT - HOW I SAVED THE DAY!.

LOOK OUT! HERE COMES EVEN MORE ASSISTANCE THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. DOWNLOAD A CLEARING TOOLKIT FROM THOSE WONDERFUL CHAPS AT THE BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY. SCAN THIS QR CODE WITH YOUR MOBILECONFLABULATOR, RIGHT NOW! TATA AND SEE YOU AGAIN, VERY SOON! ART BY DEAN AT WWW.TITANMARY.WORDPRESS.COM
