Hi Maggie

For me, Queenie made Latin bearable (OK, so maybe I'm a masochist). I still remember hearing her reading from the Iliad - couldn't understand a word she was saying, but the passion in her voice kept me hooked.

Then there were the unseens - Ferdinand The Bull, Peter Rabbit. The Latin Teacher at St Martin's was normal (non-eccentric), never once told me to throw myself out of a window, and turned Latin into something dead as dead can be

She must have mellowed as she got older-some of us do, some get more bolshie.

I don't think so, she mellowed as WE got older.

And Whether I did get a Hug from Josh is indeed between the two of us ( I didn't, he's all the way in Havant )

I love Latin so much!!!. It's an amazing language and subject, might honestly turn out to be my second favourite subject. Under History which is just handsdown my fave.

From what I've seen and heard the Latin teaching currently is excellent. I'm so happy about that.

..... and last heard, screaming, Rock School style, "I HAVANT GOT A CHANCE !!"

John, I add Bad Jokes to your list of Kingships. Just for that one - it's the worst of them all.

You are still young - there is far far worse to come so don't shake your head off - you might need it

Quite, Gemma. You know, I don't think that sleeping with a collie/staffie cross dog has been very helpful for JR.

It's not from choice, I can assure you !

It's a complete lunatic !

Very loveable (NO ! Not in that way), but very destructive !

Are we sure it's not in that way? You know what they say about a man and his dog.............

Sleeping with a dog?! I didn't think even you were into that, JR!

And remember that the dog is now on JR's medication!
