One day we were visited by the Provincial Head of English that was part of the board that set National curriculum and annual tests. The teacher continued with the lesson that we had previously been through. - When she got to Reading University the children correctly pronounced it as "Redding" University and then Big Boss jumped in and said that it was reading University. I corrected him and the following sharp intake of breath was audible..... I pointed out the capital "R". I pointed out that the whole chapter was about visiting London, and then the arrogant c**t sneered and said that students go to University to "read" subjects and therefore it was reading University not Reading University! So we continued to the next Chapter ... A day in Paris. - Then a student noticed something that I had missed and asked Big Boss what it meant..At the top of the diary it was marked 1er Juin. Big Boss informed all of the children that it was a printing error to which I replied that it wasn't a mistake but that 1er was the French abbreviation for first. His fucking head almost exploded!! "This is an English class!!!" Roger Crutchley did a brilliant article on the subject several years ago in the BP. I love Thailand with all my heart and am willing to put something back into society but by f**k sometimes I despair!! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many many reasons why I should be happy with my lot in life. I wish the victim a full and speedy recovery. I wish a very slow and painful death to the perpetrator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use Accor group a lot as I get great airline discounts from them. Never had a problem yet, well so far. My favourite is the Pullman Khon Kaen, always stay there for a few days each trip.
