Thassophobia is the fear of sitting. Papyrophobia is the fear of paper. Ecophobia is the fear of home. Euphobia is the fear of hearing good news.

If a man harbors any sort of fear, it makes him landlord to a ghost. LLOYD DOUGLAS

Ahh....... GCE's & O'levels, I remember those. Ask the kids now & they'll ask you what songs have they done ? or what computer game's it from. I don't know the loss of a generation.
