Oh, maybe I was subtle enough after all.

Well I didn't do any lecturing Bob but the extra curricular activities were a blast

Want to try for an extra diploma? Lifelong learning is quite the thing now.

Re: the University of Life, will my vocational dipolma in flash mob dancing, still count as an equivalent to a pass in maths O-level?

Na I'll give it a miss Bob, the thing is if I carried on learning I can't put out I learn into practice these days

No, you'll need extra credits in 'Knitting and tatting for profit and pleasure'

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to put my teaching equipment back into storage then.

I'm far more used to giving the Needle than using them

Must have been all that excitement about the Market Hall Rindi

As that nice Mr Gove pointed out this morning, people have been getting away with these sham courses for far too long. It is all, of course, the fault of the last government.

I think the thing you should really be asking yourself is 'Do I really need a maths 'O'Level?'
Would you not be better off going for something a little more creative. 'Belly dancing for the over forties' perhaps? Or, I am doing a special this month on 'tart and sarky comments'

They're not all arty-community-farty.

I swear, it said on Breakfast news this morning, that one of the dropped vocational diplomas was in 'counting'!

'If a pitbull bit one kiddy, and then another, how many kiddies did Tyson bite?'

'Three's near enough.'

'Congratulations, you've graduated, and here's your diploma in counting, which equates to a Masters in Advanced Mathematics.'

'Well done you.'

Everyone's a winner.
