Stereophonics are the best band out there.

 

B for English - A for Latin.

 

Bob's your mother-in-laws stepdaughter twice removed 

Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatus. amant

Amabo, amabis, amabit, amabimus, amabitus, amabunt

The one and only bit of Latin I can remember, I was rubbish at it.

I love, you love, he/she/it loves etc etc 

It was the first thing we were taught in Latin class.

I am one of the experimented kids who was taught Latin 'as a foreign language', whereby teaching grammar was decidedly unfashionable.  So I remember 'Caecilus est pater, Matella est mater, Cerberus est canis' etc. Read Catullus' poems which could often be pretty scandalous!  

 

I did manage to scrape an A-level out of it though.

Ta Yogi. It was no mean feat I tell ya! My Latin teacher was about 104 years old and clearly unsuited for teaching teenagers. She also tried to get me through Ancient Greek. I flunked that in style!
