This desire to do the same thing again and again and again.

Yes, expecting the same result.

Quite right.

Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong.

I got into big trouble once.

When I was a teacher, there was this demon French teacher, James, and he was one of those colleagues who kind of messages you sort of near the end of the week being like, do you think you could sort of fit me in for one drink tonight?

We went out, immediately had like six or seven glasses of wine.

And then he said, right, it's a school night.

We've got to do the right thing.

And I said, you're absolutely right.

We've got to text the deputy head now.

I say we're not gonna be in tomorrow, so this can carry on.

And you've got the kind of pretending to be sick.

I love that thing of trailing to be sick, James, that's huge.

Sometimes I'll send like a drunk text the night before.

People think a drunk text is like a slurry affair, but it's not, right?

The drunk text is conspicuous by its over punctuation.

And it's taken you so long to write.

James, I fired off this masterpiece.
