It's good fun.
So it's interesting that as a paleontologist, as a kid loving dinosaurs, who'd have thought you'd be working like Kinder in the future.
No, which is outrageous.
So I guess the main lesson that I probably did enjoy, the main subject that I really enjoyed was probably art, even though I was a terrible artist.
My teacher, Mr. Cox, who's actually a scouser, which I'm a Liverpool fan, as you say.
So he and I used to just chat about Liverpool, to be honest.
That was the main thing.
But he was really a good teacher.
And every opportunity I had would be, if it was in art, I'd be illustrating dinosaurs.
If it was in English, I'd be writing a short story about dinosaurs.
It was all like living and breathing there.
And you'd think kind of I'd be more into science, like science would have been the lesson for me.
But the one...
time that we had a lesson, at least in secondary school, that we had a lesson on fossils, the teacher, the previous lesson, he ended it and he's like, so yeah, tomorrow class we're talking about a really boring subject, fossils.
And I was like, what?
Are you joking me?
So I took advantage of it and brought some fossils in for like to talk about them and all this sort of stuff.
Yeah, literally.
Yeah, literally.
And I was like, holy shit, the science teacher's saying this is boring.
