  • Ok a real life hero?

    What did your teachers think of you at school/university/college - any?

    One Tutor at University voted me the one who would be most likely to lead a revolution..he also said i was the one who he would like to go on a pub crawl with..( but he was also a bit of a one)he said i was a gobby sod, but loved me in his tutorials, as he never got work done and we laughed to much...

    Those were the days eh?:rotfl: I also got a first in most things, but ended up with a 2:1

    It was a regressive tax, the whole concept of the community charge was mean. Taxing the poor to subsidise the rich. Did you mind it Beanie?

    English Literature :)

    One essay was almost completely pornographic( no rude words though) I wrote about Wilfred Owen's poem- Dulce et Decorum est and went into details which i won't on here. The lecturer couldn't argue my points and said they were very valid. I achieved 82 for that essay.:D

    When it first came out i was pregnant with my first child and was £172 a month. That was nearly a third of Mr.B's wage at the time. The mortgage was another £160 and we were left with £160 for everything else. Including petrol etc as my job didn't give me any maternity leave..we qualified for no other benefits and i couldn't work through extreme morning sickness was sacked and was completely !!!!ed off with them..That's why.
