Here comes the summer

No slacking off just because you're (or soon to be) on holiday!

first link is in French so you'll probably like it:

Put on your cherry red shoes and dance the blues.

The post today is dedicated to one of my favourite cultural icons.



Ah! nostalgia, "Doctor Martens Doctor Martens Doctor Martens boots! retailed for only £19.99p" they cost over 100€ nowadays.

Here's a Dr M. exercise


And...

are you still working towards a paper-free office?

Summer? what summer!

Don't worry about wet weekends, just think how green your grass will be.
Of course you won't be able to appreciate your garden without wearing a K-Way and rubber boots, but, hey...

Apparently words speak louder than actions, so there!

Not quite the A to Z of English, but to come up with the A to W is a good attempt, I guess neither X-rays nor Xylophones being grammar rules means the XYZ part is a bit of a non-starter.

Seconds out, Round three

Contender N°6

Mr I love America, who is really not that bad.



Contender N°7

Miss Jennifer friendly but nasty sofa



and the last contender

Contenders N°8 & 9

Mr Berlusconi & Mr Bush

I B Free

So after 6 years of captivity Ingrid Betancourt is liberated.

A dead American billionaire has left $12M to her dog, o_O

STOP PRESS: Judge decides that $12M is too much for a fluffy little white dog, and in fact $2M is quite enough, apparently it has been estimated that this "aristodog" can only feasably spend $190,000 per year.

How smart are you?

OD got 17/20

Contender N°4
Mister Duncan in England who is also quite reasonable




by the way "pot calling the kettle black" is a not-politically-correct idiom.
So don't use it.


Contender N°5

Mister Andre the head coach, an American teacher o_O

Do you love your English teacher?

I hope you do, whether it's* Denise or myself.
When I say "Love" obviously it doesn't imply anything unprofessional, it simply means to "like a lot", or to "fully appreciate".

The reason I ask this is because there is a new breed of English teacher out there, they are YouTube English teachers.

and so, with a spirit of open competition I pit myself against these pretenders to my crown as "The World's funkiest English teacher"

Contender N° 1
Monsieur Crazy S.M. French English teacher



Contender N° 2
Mister Articulation isn't my strong point due to my adenoids



and finally...


Contender N° 3
Mister Not actually that bad but wishes he had an auto-cue







* in fact if I'm going to be grammatically perfect here one should use the subjunctive "whether it be Denise or myself"
However I reckon there are about twelve people in England who would actually talk like this, so don't bother.
