Now that I got your attention.

Lyn got me Vinnie Jones' autobiography when she was in England. For those of you who do not know, Vinnie Jones used to be a professional soccer player (or if you are outside of North America footballer) and now is an actor. I finally started reading it recently (I had to get through about 6 other books I had not read yet first). It is a little difficult to understand sometimes because of all of the British slang but he is good story teller.

Well, yesterday when I was subbing there were two classes who wrote exams. There is intern who was teaching those classes so I was really just there to support her. These were her exams so I didn't really have to supervise. I sat at the front of the class and read my book. During the afternoon exam I was reading about Vinnie's first professional appearance as a footballer and the story behind the above picture. The other player is Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne. The students must have thought I was pretty strange. The class is dead silent except for the occasional giggle from the sub. I had a hard time not laughing and plus everything is funnier when you are supposed to be quiet.
