I really wish Google language translator had existed when I was at school
I hated German, but I got a 'B' at GCSE in 1993. Mummy was so proud.

my parents would have banned me from the internet anyway
they were really really keen on things like exams, i was forever getting detention and then being grounded because of the detention.

now look what they've done to me, see where i ended up, weeping into my pile of 6 month bills that my clients won't want to pay...

I don't know why
But I imagined you as a goodie-two-shoes who'd never had been put in detention in your life.

haha good god no
i was dreadful. i got good grades but appalling effort grades. to be fair though it was all very very middle-class stuff - wearing make-up to school, sneaking out to the stockport mcdonald's instead of school slop, skiving lessons, snogging boys in the quad etc. it just felt rebellious at the time!

MAKE THEM PAY! *bangs desk with fist*
A client who has outstanding fees phoned me today, I really had to fight the urge tell them to phone back when they had paid their sodding bill.

yes i get this a LOT
i have one guy in particular who insists on really stingy tiny fixed fees, then calls me every 5 minutes and emails me 15 times a day. then he wonders why his bill is £3,500 not £350. but then if you ignore them, or say what you very rightly suggest, you are negligent!
