Just one work

[Dave2002]

Hmmmm....
I REALLY DO WONDER whether this was DAVE 2002's 'original intention'..?
Over to you, Dave 2002!

Does it really matter if some of us are having fun?

I'm just amazed at how many people are coming up with obscure material - which was perhaps part of my intention. You can never tell how these things are going to turn out.

I'll get round to my own list(s) eventually.

[MrGongGong]

I refuse to play the alphabet game.

Is that why you quit teaching?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Is that why you quit teaching?

Since you ask -

The truth is, they cut our music service contracts down to 90%, in order to "save" money. (Their savings - our losses.) I worked out I would be better off claiming my teacher's pension (having already worked for 40 years by that time) and going back to work on a temporary part-time contract until I was old enough to be eligible for my state pension. (I do feel sorry for those who will be forced to work for up to 3 extra years.)
