And is it in the same way?"

I find it incredible that I can identify so easily with the school
references in B&S especially as I've not been in one for 21 years. I
can't say that they remind me of my own school days which were pretty
boring and certainly didn't involve "kissing girls in English at the
back of the stairs". It's more like they're an idealised version of what
I would have liked school to be like if I could have ordered the world
differently.

I'd write about this some more but I'm so busy I've lost the plot. Time
for another cup of rose pouchong.
