Subject: RE: BS: Your former odd jobs
Jennie, libraries are my heaven! I've spent many happy hours lurking in local libraries browsing. Ours now lets one have eight books, and we have a mobile library which visits our village. That's a job I'd have relished (apart from the spoiled princesses of course - little madams!)
Tee hee Steve, that's about the measure of bloody Latin. I have to say I disliked it. I was studying for French and German A levels at the same time, plus English literature A level, when it became evident that to study in the Faculty of Arts in a Scottish Uni one needed O Level Latin. This gave me two years to get it. A very posh teacher called Miss Bailey-Reynolds (Oxford First and Rowing Blue) got me through.
We were a small group, and spent the time giggling at virgins running through woods and what Marcus got up to in the forum. Luckily there was no oral exam. Both Latin and German have far too many conjugations and declensions. Give me French any day!
