i'm glad i do such an enclosed subject, such that i can't be thrown by obscure questions about the past. "who made the pen that archduke franz ferdinand was clutching when he was shot?" erm...well, it's history, Elliot...come on!
whereas all the Maths questions are pretty much obviously easier than that, since there's the stigma that maths is hard. I realised this when I started getting the Maths questions at A-level. I'm certainly not boasting, just saying that UC makes maths questions easier than the rest.

you said that DELIBERATELY to wind me up.
Then again, I know the answer to that question, so it's not an entirely bad proposition. I don't know anything about transnationalism out of China.

How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
That's social anthropology isn't it?

We sang songs that dealt with life, the universe and everything. One listed all the animals and concluded that everyone and everything's as important as everything else. Then there was one about new days bringing new hope...there was one about hibernation, one about pirates...and GIANT FIN.

there was a great hymn in primary school i remember, number 39 in come and praise 1, and i can't for the life of me remember how it went. but even at that age i noticed the complex musical structure, or something. it was top ace. dead mournful as well.
did anyone else have 'from the tiny ant (from the tiny ant) to the elephant (to the elephant)'? or GIVE ME OIL IN MY LAMP omg that was great. all the little twatty kids in the infants would ALWAYS echo the last bit at the end of chorus when you WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO. my god that used to wind me up.
or that really depressing easter song which had the lines 'bleeding.... dying.... bleeding... dying!!! HE'S ALIVE HE'S ALIVE HE HAS RISEN!!!' that was my first venture into s&m and i loved it.

Yeah, assemblies would take place in the morning and the afternoon. We'd often, over the course of a day, sing Physical Graffiti in its entirety. We had immense difficulty remembering the lyrics so we'd often just go "derrdadadaderrmmm" or, of course, substitute completely innocent words with rude ones. We've all been there.

Sing Hosanna Sing Hosanna Sing Hosanna to the king OF kings...
That was the chorus was it not?
Also...
...from the tiny ant...MY GOD.
This is yet another thing that links us all, another notch on the bedpost of the "Small world after all" LOSTALIKE nature of our lives.

we have to make an adult version of that song! elliot, appearing on songs of praise is no reason for a high five. you should be ashamed of yourself.
