      I took a university course that required a *glue stick.* I immediately made an appointment with the head of school and protested so vehemently he gave me 'advanced standing' so I didn't have to do it. It was some stupid mandatory core unit for part of my combined law degree (LL.B / Bachelor of Comm Sciences, they were so poor in communicating the school of communications forced us to select 'majors' (something you cannot do in a combined law degree) - they were truly, truly brainless.) and I was paying $2k per unit for that nonsense. I get that most universities are just people smuggling operations for rich Chinese businessmans kids these days (51% of my alma maters assets were in China even in 2003) but you'd think they'd PRETEND to be an academic institution, not day care.

    Now the only question remaining is if Mrs. Crocombe can time travel, or if we have Blackadder situation on our hands, where, no matter at which point in history you look, you will always find an Avis Crocombe.

    I’m from Japan and this story has some similarities to “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter” also known as “The Tale of Princess Kaguya”, a Japanese monogatari (fictional prose narrative) containing Japanese folklore. This story you’re telling is very interesting.

    I have seen Kathy Hipperson in clothes from the La Tène period to modern garments and in many different roles and personas, and every single one of them is just gorgeous and amazing. I know that she is mostly known for Mrs. Crocombe here on CZcams, but I hope that many people see beyond that one single (and lovely) role.

    The actress who plays this character, as well as Mrs Crocombe, is seriously one of the best actresses I’ve ever seen. Most things like this, educational stories that take in the past, the acting is usually cringy. However, SHE is the reason why we all love this channel so much. It’s incredible how she gives so much personality to these characters.
