More dumbing down

When my niece Tasha finished taking her GCSEs a couple of months ago, she claimed she did OK in five of them but really badly in the other five. Sure enough, this was reflected in her results:

5 A stars and 5 A's.

Dumbing down

I notice that the Asymmetric Bars have been re-named as Uneven Bars, presumably because asymmetric is too difficult to spell/understand.
Next to go will be the Parallel Bars - re-branded as 'Next-to-eachother Bars'.
Pommel Horse will become 'Brown block with handles on it.

I was on the District Line yesterday. Some Polish guys were milling about in the standing area. At the next stop a teacher got on with about a dozen children, on their way home from a school trip to the theatre. There weren't enough seats for all of them so the teacher offered some helpful advice: "Those of you who can't find a seat, make sure you hang onto a Pole".

Boo Hoo

I assume he's crying because one of his fellow competitors accidentally (or otherwise) shot him in the kneecap.
