    Your editing is on point Jamie! :)))

    Jamie, I was really wanting to apply to Oxford for PPE, but I'm not doing Maths at AS/A-level.Will that basically put me straight away in the "no" pile and is it basically not even worth thinking about? I just want to know so that I should think about applying for a different subject that doesn't involve Maths at all, even though PPE would be my dream!

    The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad? Nah Jamie's and Simon's Q&A is better.

    I'm gonna be That Guy™: Skype was not founded by Estonians, but by the Dane Janus Friis and the Swede Niklas Zennström - it was the back-end that was developed by three Estonian guys.
    Good video. I hope your website is coming along nicely, Jamie! I am in the start-up world myself, running a website as well. I can imagine you must have your hands full!

      I've pinged my Estonian friend, so I'll see if he has a rebuttal, and thanks for the well-wishes. I currently have 20,000 words worth of content, so I'm on track. After that, I just need to proof read to make sure it is ready to be shared.
      What part of the start-up world do you exist in?

      We run a start-up here in Kenya called HiviSasa.com. In short it's a local newspaper that's tailored for the mobile web.
      There's very limited access to local news once you go outside Nairobi, so we provide a way for the citizens of Kenyan counties to read local news that's relevant to them.
      We believe it's very important for a society to have access to news. Personally, I am interested in seeing what impact increased access to information has on a society, both politically and economically - perhaps even philosophically. That's how I stumbled upon your channel btw - I'm applying for PPE at Oxford!

      That sounds fantastic! What made you want to start doing this in Kenya?
      And in most regional papers, e.g. China, South Asia, Japan, they have a 'media' section where academics explore the influence of media on the political process.
      The internet in China is particularly fascinating, so PPE sounds ideal for you :)

    Loved the Sburban Jungle at the start.

      I know right! It makes a great ringtone, too.

      I haven't been keeping up with your videos lately, but what are you doing at the moment with regards to careers? Are you going into a postgraduate course or are you going right into work?

    • @Jamoe

      Caleb Perelini I will be going into work. I think I will get the most benefit from not doing any more formal education. Currently, I am trying to choose between jobs. Regardless of the one I pick, it will start in January, so in the mean time I am building an educational website for you guys and an app to help you study more effectively. You can sign-up at jamiemiles.ninja to be notified about the launch.Tell me about what you do :)

      Awesome, wish best of luck in your future ventures. I've just arrived in the UK, got an interview at Christ Church for History so wish me luck :D

      I disapprove, hence me creating this channel.

    I got an offer for an interview for Music at The Queen's College, what would you say is the best way to prepare for an interview? :)

    I suppose naturally my next question is why weren't you wearing shoes?! It seemed like the kind of event where shoes could be useful

      But then we'd mess up the carpet!
