Don't let students flirt with you, even if you do nothing to encourage it.

What was his name Matt?

There's intriguing. How do you get to learn that? And vulnerable to what?
That said, I don't expect, or really want, you to explain: it's just that it's a simple declarative statement that has a koan*-like ability to foment questions the longer you let it lie in your mind. And I, as a Romantic, prefer provocative questions to 'definitive' answers.

My eldest is selling mail-order clothes around our village to raise money for a school outing. I am now in possession of SO much more information than I needed about the underwear choices of our exclusively pension-age neighbours. :o :|

If I was being picky and I am. It's not in Glasgow. It's in Renfrew and has a Renfrewshire post code. They have included Glasgow in their address for some reason.

Its about a 3 minute drive from me.

… the very common practice during the first Cold War of condemning the Soviet Union for taking over much of Eastern Europe after the Second World War. This takeover is certainly based on fact. But the condemnation is very much misapplied if no mention is made of the fact that Eastern Europe became communist because Hitler, with the approval of the West, used it as a highway to reach the Soviet Union to wipe out Bolshevism once and for all; the Russians in World Wars I and II lost about 40 million people because the West had twice used this highway to invade Russia. It should not be surprising that after World War II the Soviets were determined to close down the highway. It was not simply “communist expansion”.
