blogging it real

Have I got a great short story for Friday!

A true story from a colleague today.

He (Englishman) was working in Dubai with a South African, both as teachers. The South African man has shaggy hair and a beard.

They both decide to come and live and work in NZ as teachers. The South African who has a plain English sounding name winds up teaching in Gore and is in the middle of class about a month into the job (earlier this year) when two police officers come into his classroom, ask him if he has just come from the middle east and then take him away. He is then kept in a police cell for 3 hours before they can find out enough to know that he is not connected to Osama Bin Laden and so they let him go.

Is this how fucken pathetic we are?

For the record he was not all that keen on how the boys at this particular school used the tools in woodwork as throwing knives which were to be embedded in walls and left the school not long after.

Have a nice weekend.

I'm going to get drunk at somebody's 30th!
