I can assure you that Bartholemew is far fuller of shit than you, Stu. You wrote a good response to that silly article with far more patience than I could have mustered. You won't get a riposte from the usual demurrers here that will contain substance other than the aforementioned brown stuff.

Am I older than you? I did two teaching practices in crappy comps on the outskirts of Brum. Knocked whatever fanciful notions I might have been harbouring about the romance of the classroom out of my head, I can tell you.
