In other news, remember that kid I complained about last week, the one I wanted to say to her mother, 'Your kid's a fucking brat.'?  Actually got some high praise!:

Hoy Sofía recibió su nota en Inglés y fué muy buena, de hecho, la mejor nota de prueba del año, un 6.0. Me llamó muy feliz desde el colegio por su resultado y recobró su confianza y su ánimo. Te debo agradecer el apoyo que le brindaste y la paciencia que le tuviste... eso hizo la diferencia. Ella no se dió cuenta de que estaba aprendiendo, pero si lo hacía en cada clase un poco mas.

'Today Sofia received her mark in English and it was very good; in fact, the best mark in the exam in the whole year, a 6.0.  She phoned me very happily from her school with her result and she's recovered [got back] her confidence and her [...? I understand it in Spanish, not sure how to translate it!  'Animation' doesn't work!] motivation.  I need to thank you for the support that you gave and the patience you had... it made all the difference.  She [Sofia] didn't realise that she was learning [?? what the hell else was I doing with her?], but she was doing it every lesson a little bit more.'

And for light relief, some jokes!:

"Take me back to your place and fuck me up the arse!" Some fat girl demanded last night. "I would but I don't have any lubricant," I said. "Oh you won't need any, I'm very loose," she winked. "Maybe so," I replied, "but my door frame is very narrow." TOO AWFUL TO PUT ON FACEBOOK!!: What's the difference between a practical joke and a temperature? Nurses can take a temperature. Some bloke walked up to the counter and said, "Burger and chips, please." "Certainly, Sir," I replied. "Are you eating in or taking out?" "Fuck off you cunt," he snapped, before walking off with his food. I love working in the prison canteen. Lady: Do you smoke? Man: Yes Lady: How many packs a day? Man: 3 packs Lady: How much per pack Man: £10.00 Lady: And how long have you been smoking? Man: 15 years Lady: So if 1 pack costs £10.00 and you have 3 packs a day which puts your spending each month at £900. In one year, it would be £10,800 correct? Man: Correct Lady: If in 1 year you spend £10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending at £162,000 correct? Man: Correct Lady: Do you know that if you hadn't smoked, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari? Man: Do you smoke? Lady: No Man: Where's your fucking Ferrari then? My Jimmy Savile advent calendar is shit. The flaps only open from 1-16. So Tulisa's new album has flopped... She must have tried to suck it off. "Children in Need" is on the BBC today. Given their history of employing paedophiles, I don't think the BBC are the best judges of what children need.
