What job do you do Alf?
I know this isn't 'the Student Room' but please Page 3
Quote: The Rook @ March 31 2010, 9:33 AM BSTWell actually, I'm working towards an English & Creative Writing degree, the MA is in Victorian Studies. Then if I can get the grades needed I shall be going on to study for my PhD at the University of Minnesota where I shall be working towards being a lecturer at said university. So that kind of quashes your 'over qualified and unemployable' quip doesn't it.
Will you be qualified to wear a stove pipe hat, be a hypocrite and tease John Merrick?

Do you also believe that children are our future, Stott? Teach them well and let them lead the way?

Come now, that's hardly an essential job pandering to upmarket gentlemen smokers.

Not all. The sight of my Games teachers' hairy muscular legs always put me off competitive sport.

You can get creams, Dolly. For the hair, at least.
