He took it with a pinch of salt and i think he accepted how naive the lad was. The Station Warrant Officer had plenty to say (shout) afterwards :-)

Me: "Mrs XXXX tells me that you want some extra maths lessons."
Girl: "Yeah. I've needed them since September."
Me: "When did you discover that you needed them since September?"
Girl: "September."
Me: "September!! Why didn't you do anything about it?"
Girl: "I didn't think that it was up to me to ask for them."
Me: "So why are you asking for them now?"
Girl: "I've got a maths re-sit after the holidays"
Me: "Have you done any revision?"
Girl: "Nobody told me that I had to revise."
Me: "I've got a spare one hour slot this week and two in the first week back."
Girl: "That's no farking good to me! I need to pass maths to get into college."
Me: "That's my best offer. "
Girl: "Thanks for nothing!" Exits stage right.

I couldn't give a fark. I'm bullet proof. I teach for 32 hours per week compared with the normal 19 hours. I cannot be asked to take on extra hours as there aren't any more available my offer of three hours was an act of kindness and not of obligation.
The girl's last minute request was beaten by a country mile by the boy who turned up two hours before his biology exam and asked for a revision session having truanted from seventy hours of timetabled science rescue lessons.
I felt no guilt when I declined his request as I had other kids to teach in his requested time slot. I asked him to attend his next scheduled slot the day after the biology exam where I could give him a revision list of activities for his chemistry exam. I've not seen him since. Neither has the exam officer taking the exam registers.
All of the kids that I've had since December were given exam revision schedules for their science and maths exams and suggested online resources that they could use telling them that they'd get the grade that they deserve. Some have blossomed some have bottomed out.

ColinJ: Change of plan ... I like the 2 seater sofa where I was going to put the kitchen table so I think I will keep that there, and buy another sofa for the TV room. I'll keep a folding dining table in reserve for special occasions, but eat at the breakfast bar most of the time. I can use the freed floor space for working on my bikes when the weather is too bad to be out in the back yard. All I need to do now is to buy a couple of bar stools. I saw some nice gas lift stools in the Indian takeaway the other night. That's the kind of thing I would like, but they probably cost £40 or £50 each and money is tight ...
(At that moment, we were walking past a stall at Todmorden's flea market.)
Stepdaughter, pointing to the end of the stall: What, like those stools?
ColinJ, rushing over to take a look: Ha ha - EXACTLY like those!
£8 each, but the stall holder sold me the pair for £15! (RRP £40 each)

One of the guys who retired from our place pops in now and aging to say hello. He came in today and he had just got back from a month in Benidorm with his wife. He was telling us about the food poisoning he had on the second week, how bad he was and what colour it was when he sat on the loo
Me: It is nearly lunch time, thanks for that mate

Dad, his new girlfriend and I are out for dinner last night.
Dad's new girlfriend says, "So, how many women has your Dad brought to this restaurant?"
Me: "To *this* restaurant? Or..."
Dad throws a napkin at me.
Dad: "You see that bus? (There's a bus passing by the restaurant) You've just thrown me under that..."

Stepdaughter on phone: Have you got a bucket?
ColinJ: Er, why?
SD: I am out on the hills on a walk round to yours and Jeff*** needs a wash.
CJ: Why - did he roll around in mud or cow pats again?
SD: No, much worse than that - he caught the scent of something exciting and ran off. When I caught up with him he was rolling about inside the rotting remains of a dead sheep!
CJ:

CJ (Lying!): Er, no - I do not have a bucket. Take him back to your mum's [my ex] and wash him in her bath () and I'll call round for a cuppa on the way back from a bike ride.
Despite the dog-bathing and all the windows being open, the house still stank of rotten sheep when I got there a couple of hours later!

My sister's dog found, and rolled in, a rotting seal at the beach near where they live in Scotland. As her husband works for a rail company, he gets free travel and they had gone to the beach by train rather than driving.
I think they got a compartment all to themselves on the way home....

When does your father get rid of you on your trans-Canada bike ride?
