Yes

or whatever?

That clarifies that then

Precisely.

Talking of school teachers, do they still have the gung ho PE teachers who
assume all children want to do and must be good at a sport. We had one at
our school, Me falling off a bar, getting a javelin in my leg and Throwing
up over the teacher on the trampoline convinced him in the end though. Brian

We had a Pervy Gym teacher. There was a hatch between the boys and girls
dressing rooms. He would regularly open the hatch (girly screams) to
speak to his female counterpart.

I remember a bloke in my class doing a somersault over the wooden horse
and shouting out in pain as he landed. The PE teacher told him to get up
and not be such a wimp - when he couldn't the sod made him go and sit in
the changing room until the end of the period. Half an hour later the
bloke was carted off in an ambulance with a broken leg.
Leith Academy?

Almost as good as the kid in Hull who broke a leg recently and was
told by her GP to get out and walk the pain away.

I recently overheard a girl tell a friend that she had a painful knee.
She had looked at Google before going to see her doctor and had come up
with her own diagnosis.
She was appalled when when after giving her symptoms to the doctor he
turned to Google.
Funny my GP uses Wikipedia then turns the screen round to show me his
diagnosis.

Are you confusing it with Waterloo Road? :-)

Waterloo Road is not a reality show either.
My wife watches it and I just see snatches of it. Strange School that
moves from Waterloo Road to Greenock.
Will Eastenders soon be merging with River City?

I've had something similar, but not because the doctor was ignorant,
but because Wiki explained something better with diagrams than he
could verbally. He also had some links to Youtube videos on the
subject.

My one usually tells me that he had someone else in with the same
problem earlier and still has a book on the subject open on his shelf.
When the urologist started to explain the Thulium Laser procedure he was
going to on my prostate I told him that I had watched him demonstrate
the procedure to a group of surgeons in Germany.
That was a small prostate he said, yours will be more of a challenge.
He later told me that crouching with his head between my legs for two
and a half hours (lucky him) had given him a backache.

Not with that moustache! Unless he has shaved it off since I last saw him?

Watch the very first episode of OFAH and compare it to either episode
of Big School and one sees exactly what is wrong with Big School. The
script is terrible.

Thank you for the invitation, but it is clearly not the sort of
programme that I would watch.
Perhaps I might look at an episode out of technical interest, if it is
still running when I have cleared the 68% (and increasing) of a 1TB
TiVo that still remains to be seen.
