It's not nice to make fun of pupils work, but some of the things they come out with are rather amusing. During registration yesterday I showed them pictures of twenty famous people. After this had finished they had to write down all the ones they could remember. There were countless misspellings, which is understandable: I think each pupil spelt Rihanna differently.
However what really tickled me was that it was as though they were living in some strange parallel universe where:
We could be on the verge of the first Irish US President: Barack O'Barma
There are super-WAGs, formed by mixing two footballers' wives: Colleen Cole.
X-Factor was created by a man named Simpon Coel.
Mr Potato was a prolific England striker who went on to advertise 'crips'.
The British number one tennis player is conveniently named Tennis Guy.
Hannah Montana is a plastic Roman teenage star: Mylus Styrus.
Louis Hamilton is a talented racing driver.
Rolnowdo plays for Manchester United.
David Tennit is Doctor Who.
Big Brother is presented by a psychic: Diviner McCoil
