Somebody mentioned GCSE languages, so I'll drop this one in
GCSE French, 2003. We were told to revise a couple of topics for an oral (hurr hurr) exam. Me, being a clever cunt, decided not to revise, and I'd just go in there and speak. I was quite good at French then.

I got asked the basics; my name, where I'm from, what I want to do in the future. All went well.

Then I was asked the question:
Qu'avez-vous fait le week-end dernier*? (what did you do last weekend?)

By this point, I couldn't be arsed answering any more questions, so I said 'La week-end dernier, j'ai couché'.

I should have said 'La week-end dernier, j'ai dormir'.

My French teacher sniggered. Of course, I'd just told her that the previous weekend, I slept around.


*badly translated, I cant remember

The people called romans they go the house?
j'ai couché
j'ai dormi

I think.

God, I hope that's right, lest I look an utter pillock.

You're right
J'ai couché. I used the past tense.

I didn't in the exam; I also sat contemplating the right ones for about 10 minutes :s

Tiredness does not a good French speaker make.

Hate French
He he, I hated french at school, so every lesson when you were asked what you did at the weekend I had my carefully prepared statement - Je suis reste dans la maison - every single lesson without fail.
