Mary:
You know what's it like. Every lecture the teacher would be asking loads of questions and there'd be that long silence, it'd just drive me absolutely mental. So, of course, I would answer all the questions just to keep the ball rolling. You know what it's like, it feeds on itself. You know, because I answer all the questions, after a while the teachers would always come to me for the answers.

Jim:
They'd only ask you. Yeah, I noticed that.

Mary:
Yeah. And after a while it felt like I was having private tutorial lessons and everyone else was just there to watch.

Jim:
Well, I enjoyed watching, if that's any consolation.

Mary:
Yeah, but you know those idiots in the back, they didn't have to do any of the work. And everyone looks at me with the evil eye as if I'm Martin f***ing Prince.

Jim:
"Pick me, teacher. I'm ever so smart."

Mary:
Exactly! But I'm not! I don't think I'm smarter than they are. I just do the homework. If they just did the homework they could answer the questions and I could have had a break.

Jim:
Well, on behalf of everyone who didn't always do the work, we're sorry.
