Today,i took 2 exams one very hard and one very easy.But at least i got rid of the hard one,physics.Tomorrow i have grammar exam which is an easy one so i dont care at all.

Oh I loved grammar exams! To me, they were the easiest thing ever! Also, similarly, I found the sciences much more difficult...

Hope the exams go well!

This doesn't require a thread of its own but this is an odd question that is annoying me. There is a chap that I occasionally see venturing into my territory (the warehouse and yard) at work who has a tendancy to say "Potato" with a hint of an Irish accent as some form of greeting. I'm told he is a bit of a tit but I am wondering if there is some sort of cultural significance amoungst todays youth in this greeting or is it just mindless twaddle? Anyhoo, whenever I am met with an Oirish Potato greeting I have taken to mentioning random forms of vegetables. I'll throw him a curve ball one day and reply with Tomato.

No significance I know of.....

Maybe the nightmares of the Irish potato famine still haunt and terrorise his family... to the extent he just blurts out "potato" all the time.... Clearly moving to Scotland hasn't alleviated those memories.....

I think he is local as he doesn't speak with an Oirish accent normally though I do try to avoid them. Every workplace has its odd-balls.

Oh tell me about it!!! I used to work part time in a shop while I did my A-Levels, and there were some real characters there!

Great fun though.

They were kinda good Like you,i love grammar and literature lessons English,Turkish and German.I enjoy when i answer the questions,and never get low grades.In maths and science i enjoy them if i know the subject but if i dont know at all then i feel everything i write can be wrong.

Spent an undesired amount of time in a frigging posh school somewhere in Bedfordshire. Don't know who these little lords and ladies think they are, but if they carry on like this in life, someone NORMAL will hit them very hard, and they'll wonder why.

I've experienced a wide range of schools in my time, and I only have time for the normal state school. Your average school. I have time for them, because you feel you're socially on the same level as them, and with a few exceptions, they generally have time for you.

However, contrast this with the monstrous hell-holes that are the private schools, the prep-schools and all the other "middle" schools and god-knows-what. A stinking, festering cesspit of middle-class arrogance and snobbery is what they are. F*** them forever more, the posh $£%"£¬!"£¬!"$$^%&^%£$.



Phew. It's been a bad day.

Well, how about you tell us how you REALLY feel?

Probably this:

I'm an actor, and sometimes, to earn your bread and milk, you have to take educational plays around schools. They are often plagued by bad writing and mediocre jokes, but they have to be done unfortunately. I can't wait to move on to another project.

Isn't it bread and butter? Or is it so bad in the UK that they hand you a pint of milk and you have to churn it yourself?

Nope, I have missed out on this cultural masterpiece aired on ITV - wait, I've contradited myself there.

The same guy was telling everyone who came within range that he was a criminal mastermind because he had to run from the police one Saturday night. His crime - taking a slash in a bus stop and a passing police car (I assume it had a couple officers in it) saw him. Hardly something you mention to folk at work that you hardly know. Until that point the longest conversation I'd had with the guy was saying hi in passing or him mentioning his favourite vegetable. I think neep would be more appropriate for him!
