I think you should have handed that in at the end of term. Tu es fur librorum

I got a grade 3 O level thanks to Mr Ross, bit we never 'spoke' Latin. We learned it like a cipher.

I know post hoc ergo propter hoc thanks to the West Wing and a couple of football club mottos audere est facere and nil satis nisi optimum, after that I'm out.

No, but I know a few quotes from the likes of Billy Liar, A Taste of Honey, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner etc that can be addressed to Rees Mogg. ‘You rotten. lying, crossed-eyed git. You're nothing else’

Latin is a language
As dead, as dead can be
It killed the ancient Romans
And now it's killing me.

I have an O level in Latin but never thought I'd ever need it. That was until I was with a mate staying in German household (we were at a trade fair and because of a shortage of hotels, lots of visitors stayed at people's homes). I speak perfectly good German but my mate didn't, so rather than let me translate, the host insisted on speaking Latin.

We had a very stilted conversation over the breakfast table as we struggled to recall Winker Watson's lessons. JRM would have loved it

Grade A A-Level and an S-Level for those old enough to remember those. Didn't speak it at home though

Passed my Latin O Level 60 years ago and found it quite easy. Luckily I had a couple of good Latin teachers.
Can’t remember much these days, but then again I can’t even remember where I’ve put my glasses

I did Latin at O level in the late 70's - only got a B so pretty hopeless.
