Thats very good old bean. Shame there isn't an English accent exam. Now that would be wizard and gives you an important skill for life.

An american novel for English. Good god, what is wrong with schools today. Don't they know that its English literature and not american-English. One is shocked.
indeed, and one hopes to rectify the matter one day, once one has rised through society sufficently to have that sort of power.

Indeed. As they say if you want something done you have yourself. What novel was it old bean?
it was 'of mice and men', a fine novel in itself but thouroughly american. One would do essays for it, or read it for leisure but it is most definately infair to set it for ones exams, still, so long as one can get the A* in the end it does not matter i suppose, but one will not stand by to allow future generations to face the same fate.

Ah....you would think they would have stopped using that now. One covered that in ones first year at High school. One did one of Orwells novels for the exam. One prefered the final study, schindlers list. Thats was done really well and had some fine acting talent in it.

High school? one is afraid one does not really know what that is? and you studied a movie? what level of examination was that, surely not GCSE?

Of course GCSE old bean. The course work was one film, novel and play from fool.
I was more as study of light and angles in the film to the film plot itself.
one does not do a film, two novels, a play and poetry.

Unluck chap. One couldn't stand poetry, people should keep their own mental problems to themselves. After one does.

Well, for one's English GCSE exam, all those years ago, the course was 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding, 'Death of a Salesman' by Arthur Miller and a selection of WWI poetry.
We had the TV mini series of Lorf of the Flies to give us extra research and the Film of Death of a Salesman, with Dustin Hoffman, no less playing the lead. Most boring, if you ask one.
One does regret not taking English all the way to A level. Instead, one was duped into doing Maths.
And now, the final score in the cricket.
Fourth Test, Johannesburg
England 411-8 dec & 332-9 dec
South Africa 419 & 247
England won by 77 runs
England's day got off to a bright start, Marcus Trescothick moved up to 180, with support for Gerraint Jones (13), Ashley Giles (31) Matt Hoggard (0) and Steve Harmison (3*) With the score on 332-9, England declared, as soon as Trescothick left the scene. A lead of 324. South Africa needed 325 to win, with just over 2 sessions to play.
Enter Matt Hoggard, the bowler. He returned figures of 7-61, (12-205 in the match) in his one man demolition of the South African attack. He took the wickets of de Villiers (3), Rudolph (2), Kallis (0), Dippenaar (14), Boucher (0), Boje (18) and Steyn (8) to cap an excellent day for the tourists. Andrew Flintoff chipped in with the wickets of Pollock (4) and Ntini (13), while Ashley Giles took the key wicket of Herschelle Gibbs, England's tormentor during this test, for 98.
Hoggard was later voted man of the match for his efforts.
England not take a 2-1 series lead into the final test and are looking to win their first series over the South Africans on South African soil in over 40 years.
Good luck, chaps.

This brings us nicely onto a new topic. What was or is your favorite subject and why? One always enjoyed history and anything to do with combat. One found it most interesting, but they is not many jobs that you can use it in.
Oh English of course old boy, what else. one finds the english language to be a wonderful thing but most of all one loves stories, reading them, writing them, everything from english lang one enjoys doing, thats why one is best at it in ones school.

One was never like English. One could speak it, read it and write it. That seem fine for one, but at least English was better than maths or French. One really hated those.

Maths? Who needs to know what pi is, all one needs to know is how to make a good steak and kidney one. It took me ages to get Jeeves to make one for me. And French? One won't be going to their country, I assure you. Who needs the Eiffel Tower when we have the Blackpool Tower. Honestly.

French can be useful old bean. Its always good to insult people in their native tongue. One is still mad about the channel tunnel. Why would we want easy to get to the island. Thats right you hear one right, Great Britain is the mainland the rest of europe is the island. Jeeves more brandy.

Yes, but europe thinks that we are and we have to be nice to them because if we don't they will cut off all our trade to over there. One has only been across the channel once of twice and one has found the best place across the channel in the channel island.
