English Lit
.
Despite it being one of my best subjects I was banned, for life, from English Literature and wasn't allowed to take my 'O' Level.

You see, what happened was.....

I was sitting in English Lit, bored out of my skull. The teacher had us reading Chaucer's Prologue To The Canterbury Tales and it was one of those lessons where he was asking various people to read out sections and then asking questions about it.

So, seeing that I was sitting next to a book shelf, I grabbed a book, when the teacher wasn't looking, and put it inside my Chaucer book and read that instead.

It was much more interesting. It had plot, interesting characters and, at the end of every chapter, a twist in the tale.

So I was engrossed, happy, and was ignoring the rest of the class. Then...

"Legless" he boomed "Read from paragraph three!"

So I stood up (with my book still inside my Chaucer) and said in my best narrators voice.

"So Noddy said to Big-Ears........"


"OUT!!!" he screamed
