Teachers from Kenton Bar School old days – Mrs. Usher
Not much to say about her as she never taught me directly except when another teacher was off sick. She was like a small version of The Queen – same hair, same round face. She did have terribly bad breath though unlike our gracious Queen who smells of Palma violets I am told.
Factoid about Mrs. Usher:-
- Saddam Hussein contracted her as a source of poison gas after she retired from teaching. She was connected up to a processing plant that distilled her breath and loaded the distilled essence directly into artillery shells for use against the Kurds amongst others. She married Gerald Bull of super gun fame and died at the hands of a Ninja assassin sent by Hussein after the first Gulf war
One horrible commenter made the comparison between Mrs. Usher and Susan Boyle pictured to the right here. I have to disagree with this poster. Mrs. Usher was in FACT The Queen, who often moonlighted as a freelance primary school teacher in order to get some extra Dubonnet money. In order to disguise the sweet smell of Palma violets she would chew on some corgi shit – hence the bad breath issue
nonsense...Usher looked more like that scottish one who won the xfactor a couple of years back...Susan Boyle...(google image and change this Mr El Patron please)
ReplyDeleteevery art lesson when usher announced it was time to tidy up young swines would immediatly put powder paint on the end of rulers and put that end of the ruler half under the newpaper that had been put on the tables for the art lesson, with half the ruler(without the powder paint on the end)sticking out...when the 'monitor'came to tidy up he/she would pull the ruler causing powder paint to go everwhere, causing a right mess :)
