Did you spell dyslexia wrong on purpose? If so, whoosh to me!

Why is dyslexia so hard to spell?

Why is there only one monopolies commission?

What were Barn Owls called before barns?

I can't help you there, but why is syllable a three syllable word?

If you had her at school( not in the biblical sense) for physics
Brian cox for geography and music
Dara Obrein for mathematics

You would not fail to be inspired. Certainly all our science teachers were wierdos with terrible dress sense and no idea how to inspire!

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac?

He lies awake at night pondering the existence of dog.

That has been my all-time favourite joke for about 20 years. Not heard it for ages, needed another airing.

Back to the subject, she's very good in ber field, and likable to watch. What else do you need for one of the most interesting subjects we have.

Female, black, and has dislexia.

Ticks all the boxes for the BBC at one go then.

Not a surprising post at all coming from you.

I suppose it never occurred to you that she has got the job based on her knowledge of the subject?

Why would Brian Cox (a physicist) teach Geography?

I see, and totally agree with, your point though. All three would be fantastic as teachers.

Just imagine if she has a regional accent as well ... one of those really hard-to-understand ones ... another BBC box ticked.

She was interviewed on Star Gazing a month or so back and she even talks fast like PM used to do.

I reckon if the S@N was on the radio, Goldstone would not be aware of his prejudices' to this presenter.
