I know most of you will think I am mad to feel such a way but I was completely gutted that it was the last ever episode of ‘Friends’ last night. Seriously, I have been watching it ever since it started 10 years ago. It’s a wonderful programme. I put it on when I need [...]
Whilst in an exam I had to break it to a year 11 that I was not allowed to explain what the word ‘ancestors’ means. What made it worse was that it was a word on the Anthology they can take into the exam – not even the exam paper. They study from the Anthology [...]

The sun was shining, the outdoor pool was calling my name, and I was being punished because some child hadn’t bothered doing his homework. Hurry up George, I want to go home.
