<HTML>I had lots of teachers who told me I was a worthless, lazy, irresponsible, jumped-up little smartarse who would never amount to anything, and wouldn't I just like to get them all in one room and say "well, seems like you were right."
I wish somebody had told me at age 10 I would never understand maths. I would have said "can I have that in writing?" and bunked off every maths class afterward on the strength of it.</HTML>

<HTML>My biggest laugh at school was being predicted 2 E's and a D for my A levels (exams you take at about age 18 for non brits) and getting three B's. Kind of the biggest @!#$ You I would ever need to say to my old school without ever having to say any thing, course I got an E in maths the year after...</HTML>

<HTML>In case anyone's interested... an integral sign looks like an elongated 'S.'
In fact, it's elongated script 'f' for fluxions which is what Newton called them
when he invented integration. Integration is just a grown-up form of adding up.
It's all pretty straight forward...</HTML>

<HTML>that's what you used to say about my rent. It usually involved some kind of advanced maths which took lots of sums to work out that I owed you more each time.

<HTML>It's tenants that are the real problem.
It's a very simple calculation to work out that I deserve more money
to put up with you living in my house ;-)</HTML>

<HTML>Paul changed it to 'Everything looks better in black and white' because he had a row with Kodak. They wanted him to put a (c) copyright sign or a tm or something after the name of the song. Paul thought this was really stupid, and refused, and Kodak got all hetup about it. So he changed the words to 'everything looks better in black and white to p*ss them off.
