Just Remembered...

the little short-arsed English teacher who threw me out of English Lit (As in banned, do not attend class, do not sit GSE) for reading Noddy In Toyland rather than Chaucer's Prologue To The Canterbury Tales, did actually manage to teach me something.

We had an exercise where we had to look at a series of photographs and the write about what we'd seen. As I recall, it was a French beach scene.

One sentence of mine ran..

"Men with bulging muscles looked down from a balcony..."

He changed it to:

"Men with muscles looked down from a balcony"


"Don't over-egg the pudding laddie.."


You know what? He was right.

Cheers


Edit: Seeing that, no matter what I post, I get my own horde of special little followers from /talk a-hooting and a gibbering in the replies, I thought I'd be kind to them and give them something to do while breathlessly awaiting the next witless reply from one of their brethren.




They you go lads - get licking.....

Cheers

Do you think it makes Legless sad that, after all this time,
even something as nondescript and feasible as this has a massive shadow of doubt cast over it, purely because he posted it?

Oh sweet merciful zombie jesus.
That's not even remotely challenging to prove to be lies.

I very much suspect that he doesn't give a shit.
At least I hope not. That would be awful.

I dunno, this seems to be a very important part of his life.
He has a massive, longwinded, difficult-to-believe-all-these-things-could-happen-to-one-person story every week.

this,
In fact it would be awesome for someone to collect all his stories and put them into some kind of chronological order.

I did that with my brothers lies once, made for hilarious reading.

D: You seem to be suggesting that b3ta's very own legless is simply a serial fantasist, and not a very good one at that
All of his tales are still shockingly dull

most liars are shockingly dull
My own brother tells the most mundane lies which hint at awesomeness but never really reach far. Like the time he was a session guitarist for Aerosmith but still living at home, with his mum, driving a delivery van and having my mum make his packed lunch every day.

So dull....
I am writing this from the coma it induced

Amazing coincidence. One of my teachers once made a small correction to something I did.
(does GSE stand for "generul sertificut of ejucation"?)
