Indefinitely agreed.

Quiet, you! I had to leave that 'restaurant' with something other than severe indigestion.

That's one of the most ridiculous theories to have been spun around this highly entertaining forum. I have impeccably high standards, but after finishing the exam to the best of my ability and doing what I feel was a very good job of it, upon coming to this forum I and others were bombarded...

He's not one of those 'I love myself' people. There is a small community of us on this board who adequately prepared for this exam, and were taught ALL SIX poems. I don't know what yours said, but my trial said "At least two poems", which, to me, says 'Do three poems'. If you want...

Well think about it... They've taught chickens to count... taught horses to clop the times table.... but has anyone taught a chimpanzee to write a sentence? It is the concept of literature that separates us from the animals. Memorisation is a ridiculous gamble to take... look at all...

Hear! Hear! It's exactly your kind of person who are responsible for the deaths of: Mufasa JFK Julius Caesar Communism Gandhi and Bambi's Mum
