During the day one of my friends from my former workplace sent me some photographs of the presentation that was made to me ... and I thought that I would share them with you/bore you to death with them (Please delete as appropriate).
The Principal begins her speech, whilst I look on. (I am the one of the right, whose trousers have not had an argument with their feet.)
I look suitably bemused when the Principal mentions the arrival of the student deputation that demanded that I not be allowed to leave. (I am bemused more by her surprise that this happened than I am by the fact that it did.)
I share my words of wisdom about teaching with the appreciative crowd. I was brief (not something that I usually manage!) and at least I did not take up the stance recommended by the two actors in the 'Sense and Senility' episode in the 'Blackadder the Third' series.
Stout fellow!
ReplyDeleteArthur,
ReplyDeleteSteady on!
I am described by my tailor as being 'Country Gentleman-size' ... which is a somewhat more flattering way of saying the same thing!
All the best,
Bob
Thank you for not pointing out a case of the pot calling the kettle black!
ReplyDeleteRegards
Arthur,
ReplyDeleteMaking such a comment never entered my mind!
'Country Gentleman-sized' sounds so much nicer than one alternative that I have been called ... which was 'big, fat b*st*rd', although the 'person' who called me that did end up regretting their comment ... rather painfully!
All the best,
Bob
well that was boring lol
