And the Oscar Goes To...
The Eurocrat emailed me this joke this morning. Apologies to non-South African readers, who might not appreciate the subtle cultural humour:
Every morning when the English teacher came to the Afrikaans students to
give them an English lecture she greeted them as follows; "Good morning
class!" and every time only one boy would get up out of the whole class
to greet the teacher in return.
This happened time and again until she decided to call him up to her
desk and ask him loud enough for everyone to hear:
"Why is it that every time I greet the whole class, only you stand up to
greet me?"
He replied to the teacher in English:
"It are 'cause I are the only person here what's name are Klaas!"
I finally saw Hot Fuzz over the weekend, then had an enjoyable weekend visiting parks and restaurants and the theatre with bigHair and a visiting friend of his from Nottingham. It's deer culling season in Richmond Park at the moment, and there are big signs everywhere warning that the park will be closed early, and "firearms will be in use."
