The inability of English teachers to explain how Shakespeare or Chaucer could possibly be useful reading material is matched only by the pupils’ inability to explain, in terms that English teachers accept, why it isn’t. An impossible situation that will continue as long as there is oil in the earth.

So, you’ve been taken to see some Shakespeare play, and whilst you’re trying to be polite and enjoy the thing as best you can, given that it’s all in Stupidish. But there’s your fucking English Teacher next to you, guffawing too fucking loud at every damn joke and pun.

Watch the actors closely - you can see the spear carriers mouthing ‘wanker’ at each other.
