Stop you make me sad! I'll miss drama. The teachers were..well I was going to say witty but that dosent realy say it. They where down to earth and funny. The 'kick Laim' teacher would often be in the middle of a really funy lesson when he was making us laugh with his dumb jokes and werid tie and say 'Excuse me' to us. He would walk out the door and shout really loud and angrily at some people out side that where being to loud. We where all sitting inside scared. he would return just as placid and we just sat there.
All the drama teachers treated us cool.
Ill miss all the non-essential lessons now I'm in year 10. I liked the fact in many us and the teacher knew we had no interest in the subject and this lesson was a waste of time. We would all have a laugh and I liked the teachers that where slighty mad and told people they bwhere idiots casually. Food technology was an example.

Stop you make me sad! I'll miss drama. You didn't take GCSE Drama then? One of my English teachers (he also teaches Drama) this year was fantastic. There would be numerous occasions when he'd start singing in the class - usually an Elvis song. I remember him singing the first few lines of Are you Lonesome Tonight. And he'd often give us witty anecdotes about his time at university. Good old Mr Spencer. He's the best teacher I've ever had.

The drama teachers are indeed fandiddly. But I won't miss all my lost lessons. The geography teachers for example, as I've said countless times before, are the complete opposite of fandiddly. They're... diddlyfan. Yes.
My geography teacher, at the beginning of the school year: "And remember, don't be afraid to put your hand up. Nobody's going to laugh at you for getting an answer wrong. That's what you're at school for — to learn!"
My geography teacher, after every wrong answer given at every other point of the year: "NO! What are you ON ABOUT? That's something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!"

One of my few teachers' quote which isn't censurable (not much of a quote but a situation):
It was morning, dark, and the power was down. Our teacher was telling us we had to study and blah blah because he couldn't just give the grades away...
Teacher: I teach, I can't make miracles!
At that very same moment, the power came back up. Needless to say, after 2-3 seconds of amazement, we all burst out laughing.

Some quotes from Cheers:
Sam: Are you crazy? Did I hear you just turn down a date with that girl? Come on, man, reel her in.
Frasier: Oh, Sam, you don't seem to understand. Look, I just came off a seven year marriage. It's hard to think of replacing Lilith.
Carla: Just go to the morgue and open any drawer.
Rebecca: So did you get a chance to see Carla's babies?
Sam: We sure did. They are two of the cutest little guys you have ever seen.
Rebecca: Who do they look like, Carla or Eddie?
Woody: Well, they're twins. They kind of look like each other.
Cliff: What a pathetic display. I'm ashamed God made me a man.
Carla: I don't think God's doing a lot of bragging either.
Cliff: Uh-oh, looks like Woody's babes are coming to blows.
Sam/Norm/Cliff/Frasier: CAT FIGHT, CAT FIGHT.
Kelly: You get out of my way right now, or so help me God, I'll - I'll hurt your feelings!
Emily: You do that, and I'll hurt yours right back!
Frasier: Kitten fight.
Rebecca: You guys, I have my new wedding dress. And now all I need is something old, borrowed, and something blue.
Carla: How about Norm's liver?
Norm: I am almost finished with it.
Frasier: Oh, dear God.
Sam: What? What is it?
Frasier: Lilith is carrying a dead rat in her purse. Why would she be carrying a dead rat in her purse?
Carla: Just a wild guess: a snack?
Diane: One murder does not a murderer make.

From Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps:
Jonny: I'm writing down everything I like about carpets. So far, I've got: "They are nice".

...and if I dug it up again, it would be excavation (and I don't want a warning.) MC would never give you a warning - if he did, he'd have a mutiny on his hands . psst, HailStorm, FoolNoMore, I may need you to give Gideon a warning A favourite Shakespeare quote of mine, from Macbeth: "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. ...I remember that from Wishbone I only mentioned Bush to take the mickey. huh? That's not the censor, is it?

I only mentioned Bush to take the mickey. huh? That's not the censor, is it? No - "taking the mickey" is a British term. It just means to "make fun of." Sometimes people say "taking the michael" as well (since Mickey can be short for Michael.)

I only mentioned Bush to take the mickey. huh? That's not the censor, is it? HA! It's ages since we've had a 'lost-in-translation'! You're not seriously telling me you've never heard of taking the Mickey?

HA! It's ages since we've had a 'lost-in-translation'! You're not seriously telling me you've never heard of taking the Mickey? It's not a term that's used in America. And to be honest, even though it's a British term, I rarely hear people here use it either. There are so many more terms one can use - many of them much ruder - that innocent little ones like "taking the mickey" seem to be dying out. Some quotes from Arrested Development (here's one to do with the Blue Man Group, Islander. (Tobias is covered in blue paint and walking across a road at dusk) Narrator: Tobias went to a tryout for the Blue Man Group, hoping to be seen. (Tobias is hit by the Bluth family's lawyer, Barry Zuckerkorn) Narrator: Unfortunately, it was dusk, and he wasn't seen. Narrator: So the speech was disturbing, the food was inedible, the service lousy, especially after Gob found out he wasn't going to get any tips, and that old racist woman choked on Buster's thumb. All in all, it was one of the Bluths' better parties. Gob's Wife: I'm in love with your brother-in-law. Gob: You're in love with your own brother? The one in the army? Gob's Wife: No. Your sister's husband. Gob: Michael? Michael! Gob's Wife: No. That's your sister's brother. Gob: No, I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with me? Me. Gob's Wife: I'm in love with Tobias. Gob: My brother-in-law? Gob's Wife: I know it can never be, so I'm leaving. I'm enlisting in the army. Gob: To be with your brother? Gob's Wife: No! Michael: You want to be in charge? Gob: Yeah. Michael: You want to deal with that I deal with? A sister who takes your money and throws it away. A mother who you can't trust. A company whose founder may be on trial for treason. Is that what you want? Gob: What kind of vacation time does it offer?

I only mentioned Bush to take the mickey. huh? That's not the censor, is it? What do you mean 'thats not the censor'? You're not seriously telling me you've never heard of taking the Mickey? I thought that.
This isnt realy a quote but it is rather funny. My English teacher calls us into class and we take regester and she te;ls us to take out our books. When we are ready we find her looking around curiosly. We are like WTH? She looks around the desk and even in the cupboard. She moves her eyes up on top of the cupboard and sees a clock and says "Oh its a clock". We are all laughing. We found out that she had heard a loud ticking and wondered what it was. It was a new clock. Another insident with the ol' English teacher was when she was doing her "You are very bright but waste your time talking" speaches. You must understand that she is an oldish woman, middle ages at least. Whist doing one of those speaches she said "When I am tryuing to teach you just go 'Blah blah blah blah blah!'". She was even doing hand actions. She was making her hands look like mouths talking. She just kept saying 'blah blah' for ages. People even joined in. When she had finished she just acted as she had done nothing funny. She is usually a very dull teacher. Whilst watching a Macbeth video soem peope actually fell asleep in class! She rewads with no expression in her voice, even in action scenes in books. She just sometimes comes out with realy funny stuff. She says it very casually and dry. When explaining to someone what a juggernaught was to someone (a large force she said) she asked someone who wasnt quite listening what it was. He said "A large horse!". We where all alughing and the kid didnt realise. I think Miss even smiled. A few days later she asked the kid a differnent question and she said "I asked you as I wanted a cheap laugh".

Paul Simon, on his song, I Am a Rock:
"The loneliest people in the world are those that cannot share their loneliness, through fear, pride or anger. And the ache builds walls, fear populates their dreams and pride is then the jailer of the soul."
Ha. He's a laugh, that Simon.
On a more serious note, Dave Gorman:
"All I want is to live in a world where everyone knows what a Venn Diagram is."

Paul Simon, on his song, I Am a RockI love that song! I also like Sound of Silence, Mrs Robinson and Scarborough Fair a lot too. Paul Simon's song Bodyguard is very good too.
