We can all do whatever we like

My eldest failed the 11+ and got a first at Oxford
The systems certainly a bit odd

The planning system also says you can't object to noise/disturbance, which in some cases is the only reason to complain
Six months of building work can be torture for everyone on the area

We had a Mr H (I assume he’s dead and in hell but can’t be sure), a grotesquely overweight fat f*** who took first years into his stationary cupboard
We’d scream and bang on the door, just to make his sexual assaults more difficult but, you know
What an evil bastard he was

Written before today's attack on a Manchester synagogue. It's the kind of piece I never thought I'd write.
