Minister for Education

22 December 2004 by Tim

I still don’t understand how this guy got to be the Minister of Education, and you would never believe he had given birth to four children., would you.

Well, I’m impressed, definitely an improvement on Plunk It.

and so much for the P.M. – back from beyond the grave and looking pale…

Anthony BLAIR, Colored. Hung for Murder of Stepdaughter. News from Morristown, Tennessee. The Wheeling Register, Wheeling, West Virginia, September 27, 1879

The newspaper cutting is American and they probably meant to say that he was hanged.

    When I was 10 we used to have a lesson at school called ‘Narration’ where the teacher would read something aloud and we had to write it down, complete with correct spelling and punctuation.
    One day the story was about someone being hanged and I thought I was being clever by correcting it gramatically to hung. Oh the shame of being marked down for getting it wrong 🙂
    This will make even more sense when you see my NY resolutions.
