Tom Clarkson is a kind and caring (and really fit) teacher. He was never scared to help the pupils and as a result fell off the roof of the school :(. Everyone liked him and he had his eyes on every female member of staff, like whenever someone new came into the staff room he was in their knickers before you could say “hello”. Overall definitely the fittest teacher to walk the halls of Waterloo Road!

Person 1: “Guess what, I’ve only gone and slept with that new girl!”
Person 2: “Mate your turning into Tom Clarkson”

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
