    school doesnt start before 2pm! kids go to main school in the morning and we get them in the afternoon so the mothers can go out with friends! --i would never teach with a hangover and i know no parent would like an alcohol fuelled teacher-i am not dumb.

    If school doesn't start before 2pm then why did you post this and many other posts implying that you were in school working in the morning?

    my wife and i are as genuine as its gets! we live a very down to earth life-one day my wife will inherit masses of homes and businesses and basically she doesnt concern herself about the value of money--my ex wife was extremely wealthy and for her money was never an object--she jst didnt like sharing it with me(she liked leaning on me!)

    Yup, I agree with Person 1.

    Entertaining set-up, believable persona, badly marred by inconsistencies and implausibilities in backstory. I give this troll fifty eight per cent.

    pmsl at this thread - you are pure class Greg! Alcohol, drink driving manic depressive who thinks all he needs to teach are white teeth and hair implants, whilst his independantly wealthy wife isn't allowed to spend her own money on hair cuts....

    In the troll stakes I'd say a 7.5 of artisitic merit but a lowly 3.5 for credibility
    People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

    i do like to wind up and see the people go off on one's! my wife does wind me up for her ability to spend on the frivilous but she supports me in my projects--she says she was sent to look after me!--its 9,10 and nearly time for me to watch eastenders and my wife is still wrangling at our business!

    Yep, this thread has certainly confirmed all my suspicions, over the months, about the OP being a WUM.

    High marks, though, for the length of time he has been accepted at face value - joined in December 2008, has over 2,000 posts and is recognised and welcomed as a 'regular'. That does deserve a special mention.

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
  • I can't believe the OP runs an ENGLISH LANGUAGE school and teaches there!:rotfl:

    Is there a link to the hair transpant, anyone?:eek:
  • Perhaps OP needs to spend more time on para-tasarrufu-uzmanı.com :D

    Got to laugh at the thought that parents and students would prefer to have Wayne Rooney with his hair transplant than a totally bald Patrick Stewart teaching them/their children English.
