200 years...

Maho! Fan #1 here! My internet died recently so I've not benn able to contribute, but it's suddenly decided to work on my laptop today!!!
To celebrate, I'm giving out cookies!...Or I would be, except that I ATE the cookies....ahem.

Instead I'll tell another McLaughlin incident which I remembered recently:

At our school, the students sometimes do a form assembly in front of the rest of the school, but for once it seemed that the teachers were doing one. Mr McLaughlin told us about this and decided to give us a small part in the assembly. (We were...thrilled *note the sarcasam*)

"Now folks, all I want you to do is: when I ask how long I've lived in Holland, I want you all to say '200 Years!' I think it's safe to say that NONE of us were really listening to him much, so we agreed.

So we went down to assembly while Mr McLaughlin went to get ready. It turned out that the assembly was about different cultures, so one of the French teachers was stood at the front, gabbering on about god knows what in French, when he asks Mr McLaughlin to come in.

My first thought when I saw him was: "He looks like Tony The Bloody Tiger." He was dressed in orange biking gear with a orange and black stripy cycling helmet on.

He then started to go on about Holland, and then he said: "And how long have I lived in Holland?"

The response was about 7 people of the 32 in our form giving a half-hearted "200 years....." murmering off into silence.

Needless to say, we felt stoopid, Mr McLaughlin was annoyed and the rest of the school got a good laugh at our expense.

Well thats all from me for now. Pray that my net connection lives on! Maho!! XD

Oh, I should probably put in a disclaimer, Tony the Tiger is the property of Kellogs. Not Us.
