You: "Very well, thank you."

Them (not giving up): "No, really! Tell me how you did it!"

You: "Can you keep a secret?"

Them (falling for your trap): "Sure!"

You: "Well, so can I!"

that reminds me of those teacher replies

Pupil: Can I ask a question?
Teacher: Can you?

Very good!

even your mum can let you down!!

And regularly does, years ago mine found my TT as I had carelessly left it lying around and asked me what it was for. I didn't think and vanished a hank with it. For ages afterwards she would ask me to do the thumb trick for her friends and didn't seem to understand that this would give the game away a little!

When I was a teacher, my response to "Can I ask you a question?" was this: "You just did, and without asking my permission!"

That one makes them think harder.

That one makes them think harder.

I only wish it did that these days. Educational standards are becoming so PC that thinking is now optional. On the radio yesterday I heard the news that some UK Exam boards are considering no longer using the words 'Fail' or 'Failure' in connection with exam results. Instead, the phrase 'Deferred Success' would be used. So if ever my heart has a Deferred Success, I'll be very reassured that it's not actually failing or anything nasty like that.

Ahh... the old "kids & schools" thing was bound to come up, sooner or later.

I must be getting old. Anyone else notice the rise and rise of "ASBO" bearing brats? I'm not saying all kids are little ****'s , majority are not. I just see more and more kids who have absolutely no respect for teachers, their parents and even police. And now MAGIC! =o/

I give it a decade before we see "Battle Royale" become a reality! Hehe...

I tend to agree with you.

check out http://www.chavscum.com if you haven't already for all of the latest on Chavs, Neds, Townies, Kevs, Charvers, Steeks, Spides, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Kappa Slappers, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs, Scallies and Hood Rats.

It's a wickedly amusing site.

ahh this is certainly annoying, i was at a party a few weeks ago doing some impromptu spoon bending. there were about 15 people round me and all were impressed by one quiet woman who i could tell had worked out what i was doing.
Anyhoo, after i'd finished, she told everyone how i did it and a friend of mine (you'll all have one, its the one who gets really annoyed when they can't work out how you do something, and is really impressed with themselves when they do) came up to me thinking they were amazing because they knew how i did it, despite the fact they were told how i did it and didn't work it out for themselves.
to the point though, every now and then you are going to get busted, sometimes people will find out how you do things, either by rummaging through your things when you aren't looking or by working it out for themselves. what you should then do it show them something even better. when i see my friend again I'm going to bend plastic spoons and pens for them, something which can't be done by the same method.
it sucks being found out but its fun wiping that smile off their faces again..

"Sorry if I am aking a question without any permission but may I ask a question after the question that I am currently asking?"

What would you do if some clever person asked that?

Did they change Life to Life studies once because it sounded silly when you say "You Failed Life"?
