Being relatively used to the bizarre comments that pour out of pupils' mouths I'm generally not taken by surprise anymore, but it's still possible.

'Sir. Do you know what date rape is?'

Where the hell is this going? Is this an accusation? Does she herself not know what date rape is and is asking out of curiousity? Or, more likely, is she trying to distract me from the fact that she's still on question one?

'My sister's drink got spiked at the weekend. It's on CCTV and everything.'

Right. Well if her sister is anything like she is - according to notes I've confiscated - I'm a little surprised that rohiphnol (sp?) is actually necessary.

Needless to say I kept that thought to myself.
