We did a bit of ''Shakespeare at school and ive no strong feelings about his work either way..........However whenever the subject comes up i always think about our drama teacher Mr Price......he was a fanatic on him...and used to love standing and reading it to us.......and one day in the school Hall he was reading it from the stage with all the actions.......well he lost his footing on the edge of the stage...fell onto the school 'Piano'' broke wind and rolled off onto the floor''''''''''''
so so funny...........
Hahaha so funny Ben , Gone with the wind.. frankly Ben I don't give a damn !!!!!

Best way I ever cut our overgrown jungle , was when I was a young horse groom in the racing stables ,
One evening I put on the chip pan to heat up and I got interested what was on the telly , it was Emmerdale farm , and something Seth Armstrong was saying made me giggle until I saw an orange flicker on the kitchen door , I ran in the kitchen and I saw the chip pan was well lit up in flames , so I open the door of the kitchen and threw the pan out there , the dead grass which was 3 foot high instantly caught alight , I was hoping it did reach the corn field that backed on to our cottage back garden , when a little old lady from next door popped her head over the garden fence and said " what on earth are you doing "
Cooking home made chips I replied and asked what is the telephone number of the local fire brigade , I thought she was German because she kept saying " nine nine nine "

Do you remember a comedy sketch show called Smith & Jones , Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith ?
I used to look after a racehorse owned by Mel Smith whilst I worked for Toby Balding , my nearest claim to fame !

@Annesley Red I used to cut them cardboard cornflakes boxes in little strips , and write racehorse names on them and race them on the carpet, or better still on lino they used to move abit faster , we didn't have Playstation 3 in them days , had to make your own fun using your noddle , also them Mr Kipling vienesse whirls cardboard boxes made good for cutting up and creating my own racing games , I used an old biro pen as a steeple chase for them to jump over and if they landed cornflakes or vienesse side up they were class as horses that had fell over and were out the game , happy days as a nipper !!!

Most embarrassing story as a naive little lad of 16 green behind the ears went to work in the horseracing stables , that was me and I regularly got pranked for it ,
One day one of the lads sent me down the village post office and told me to get a packet of durex, I said what is that ? Do you mean the chewing gum dentine ?
No durex just ask for that .
Now the post master was a trifle deaf , and if you wanted a tin of peas , he'd say what sort of cheese ?
As I enter the shop there was a girl abit shy just like me , she asked me to go first to the counter , but I insisted saying Ladies first, not forgetting my gentleman manners as I'd seen David niven on the telly say it , very cool and handsome film actor , anyway back to the post office , the girl reluctantly shuffled to the counter and the mutton Jeff post master she whispered to him a packet of Doctor whites please , when the post master bellowed at the top of his voice DR WHOO ??? the poor girl was mortified and wish she had a Tardis to dissappear into ,
Then it was my turn and I requested the said Durex , he boomed How old are you ?
I said it's alright mister I only want to chew it !!!!

I worked in customer services for a local council for a year. I actually loved dealing with complaints and it was always a challenge to turn the complaint round for a positive outcome. Some people do think that punctuating their speech with bad language helps their cause and disregard the fact that you are actually trying to help them. Interesting times.
Kudos to you working in the front line of attack and taking all the flak , and flannel , you deserve a medal !

Alpha, the word “those” doesn’t feature in my husband’s vocabulary at all and it infuriates me. I never comment though as it stems back to his dreadful education, he has dyslexia which wasn’t recognised then and his parents never picked him up on grammar like I did with my own children. My father was an absolute stickler for grammar so we were corrected too which was a little annoying at the time but it worked! He has so many other great attributes that I’ve got past caring whether his grammar is correct or not. I’m lucky to have him.
My boss had dyslexia, and often wrote the word broken as Borken , dyslexia is akin to reading words in the mirror , they look like they are spelt backwards, I don't know if this is a fact , just what I have been told.
