Well I didn't, but the dog did and woke me up with incessant barking around 4 am. HYN to all. What does HYN stand for? Hush your noise.

The Daily Mail source for this story is the National Enquirer; that's about as reliable as the National Enquirer sourcing its stories from the Daily Mail.

Giant knobheads you mean?

Only the eight years off then...

Possibly. How many teachers does the UK have? To quote Shaw: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. regards, Hein

Clearly not.

If you weren't alive in the UK back in the late 90s, you wouldn't know how famous this guy was at the time. He was on the fucking news every third episode, he was the kind of guy mediocre satirists would do gags about in their TV shows. RT this if you're a 90s baby.

Bound to have woodworm by now...

You are absolutely right. But in 2011 Luise Rainer is honoured with a spot on the "Boulevard of Stars" in Berlin; you can call it the tiny German equivalent to the Walk of Fame. Unfortunately she is not well-known in Germany, that's for sure. http://www.thelocal.de/20110826/37155

I'm not sure if it counts as a 'crass generalisation' to base ones assumptions based solely on an individual's experience, but every teacher I know personally is the kind of social, financial and general fuck up that I wouldn't let mind my dog, let alone a child. One in particular (who is considered something of a 'rising star' in her profession) was recently interviewed by the police after meeting a spanish barman while on holiday, inviting him to live with her in the UK after a two week whirlwind romance and then allowing him to stay with her while he embarked on a series of armed robberies. And this person spends 6/7 hours a day teaching primary school children how to succeed in life. I think we need to return to a time when teaching was considered a prestige employment, rather than the default setting for the wet and unambitious which it now seems to have become.

15,000 is probably an underestimate

My 50 year old sister-in-law has had Lupus for over 20 years. No reason to think Selena Gomez has any immediate major life issues just because of this condition.
