    Well, quite. I can really understand my lads hardly bothering even going to school nowadays.

    Doesn't seem to know his Arsenal either. Scarfe is one of us

    To learn proper manly subjects like physics and math? We had to take 6 subjects for entry into university back in the day. I took physics, calculus, algebra, functions and relations, chemistry and English. And I only took English because I had to.

    Men do science and engineering, women do Arts. I will make a possible exception for history which is a) vaguely manly and b) little master WES's best subject (his report said he had the potential to be a top class historian ).

    No, I'd rather they bunked off and went hunting buried treasure in the Caribees or somewhere, to be honest. I even front the score, so long as they don't finger me when their mother starts asking questions.

    School is for homos; action and adventure is what young chaps need.

    OK, so take them out of school and send them to Syria.

    No, you don't send them. The idea is to inspire them to seek out the action themselves, fully understanding that they are breaking all the rules in doing so. And being responsible for the consequences of that.

    They've already done Syria anyway.
