this has been making me smile for the last 45 minutes. it's the best modern Christmas songs i've heard, and would love to still be listening to it in 20 years time.

This has to be my favourite Tim Minchin song. I'm sure it takes some talent to be able to sing that badly deliberately. Have to admire him.

Almost up to date with all my tasks on here! Fulfilled all the sound requests I can, just the last of Dave's Christmas countdown raps to put up now, and a couple of Tedious Links to do. Just as well as they're back on Monday.

In my experience on the other end of the examination paper, neither do examiners.....

EDIT: Anyway, the 11 minute one was multiple choice so it just gets scanned through a computer.


I wasn't meaning the person who marks the paper, as you say, that can be anything from a computer to a monkey. But I know that when I set an exam for a group of people, and I say it should take an hour, it will take about an hour. I accept that some people will do it somewhat quicker, and some would prefer to have a little longer - but realistically, if anyone did one of my one hour tests in 11 minutes I can guarantee you that they have * up mightily without realising it.

Hopefully whoever set your test wasn't as careful as me!

Well tbf the test was 30 questions and we had a pool of about 100 questions given to us before the test and probably just over 20 of the questions in the real thing were what we had seen before so it was a bit of a stupid exam really, but it still counts.

How could anyone make 30 multi choice questions last an hour?!

My sister's boyfriend (and friend of mine from years ago) got his PhD. Still not clever enough to realise she's a pain in the arse though....

Maybe he does, but she's dynamite in the sack...?
