You couldn’t make it up!

Lovely cartoon from Matt today. Convict talking to prison officer. ' we had planned a mass breakout, but the others were released accidentally'

Art imitates life.

I was kicked out of the top French group at school because of  terrifying French teacher .
It was a good move the next teacher was kind and suddenly French wasn't bad at all .
A good teacher makes a world of difference .
And when in France I thank that man .

I speak fluent Spanish and a smattering of other languages as wherever I have lived on the world I have always tried to learn something of the language .

I agree... I didn't like my maths teacher and he had great pleasure in picking me up in class..
I am rubbish at the subject.. I lived near him when I first married.. He recognised me .. smiled and asked how I was.. He knew that I did not like him.. That was plainly obvious from my false smile..
 
You have done well with your languages Muddy.. and I have done well with the little bit of talent that I posses..   I guess we all have something that we excel in..
Making others smile... brightening up a room.. being kind... serving our country.. doing voluntary work, nursing and working in the Co-op...
We all contribute..

I didn't even care when my maths teacher died.. How sad is that..!!
I would just like to add that my daughter is a chartered accountant.. Where did that come from.. !!

Just about every public service is a joke there days. If this was the private sector the dole queue would be getting a lot longer then it already is. Public sector there might be a report. Possibly in triplicate. Then an in depth investigation. Then another report. By the time it's all done nobody involved will even have had a note on their record, several will have retired early on full pension and others promoted. That's what always happens with useless sods in the public sector.

There seems to be less encouragement for people to improve and advance now in this country.
I can imagine what it will be like in a few years if nothing is done to turn things around, sadly.

Ah, but lessons will be learned!
