He was, pupils and colleagues tell me, a very good teacher. He has a fund of knowledge such as few people I know can store up: perfect for pub quiz's. He is the perfect person to go on holiday with because he's been in every art gallery and place worth visiting and he draws people to him like a magnet so can strike up a conversation anywhere. I know. I've travelled California with him. He also eschews Twitter. He's not really like you though: he is one of the least tolerant people I know and he regards football fans as morons.

I much prefer to refer to blog followers as regular readers (I myself am a regular reader of your blog, but certainly not your Follower), and I consider some of the people I have "met" through my and/or their blog my friends, having had the privilege of meeting a very limited number in real life several times.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-49533562501655605132014-11-21T18:25:01.332+00:002014-11-21T18:25:01.332+00:00Bob Brague is not my uncle!

Michael foot was perfect. John Smith a bit of a bible basher but fine, the good Lord obviously thought otherwise and saved us from St John.<br /><br /> I did watch the Muppets. Brilliant it was. I wish I could vote for them. I will vote UKIP. I don't like them but it's what's called a spoiler. Anything to avoid all the weird, lying and paedophiliac Liberals even sitting in Westminster .<br /> <br />Now.........I could no more vote for the Tories than I could slit my throat. I look at Dithery and think Pillock. I know he is half bright but he hasn't got the bottle. Probably played Fives, Lacrosse a vicious game of Scabble or football as a child. <br /><br />Like most folk and him I'll blame his teachers but you are supposed to grow out of that.
