Picture the scene – I was told today by one of my sixth-form students that an English lecturer at a university taster was ‘really funny’ …

It’s in the nature of the job to infer, which I duly did. When I responded that I would have to ‘up my game’, I was told that my student was unaware that I even HAD a game …

So I’ve knocked this up for my classroom, with a quotation from the recent BBC series, ‘Upstart Crow’. That’ll teach ’em, obviously!
