‘Oh crumbs,’ thought Professor Darryl Fishborne, realising he never gave his 2008 Contracts A class back their 30% mid-sem research assignment marks.

It’s been a long wait for students of LAWS9000: The Law of the Rings, Two Towers.

Despite many a polite, smiley, after-class query from the likes of Emily Ruth (20), former All Hallows School Prefect, Professor Darryl Fishborn (37) just won’t budge.

‘Yeah, sorry folks, I’ve just had a few things come up in my personal life recently’, announced Professor Fishbone at the start of class, hoping that might throw off the scent for at least another fortnight.

Truthfully, Professor Fishborne has a complete lack of interest in touching his students’ research papers, and had spent the weekend playing DnD with his old barbershop quartet crew.

One LAWS9000 student, Harry Hopper (22) was penalised 115% of his total grade by Professor Fishborne because he was in an induced coma in the week that the assignment was due and so couldn’t submit his assignment until 10 minutes after the strictly imposed 2pm deadline.

‘Yeah, no, maybe it is double standards, not too sure, mate,’ Harry told one of our reporters. ‘Darryl seems like a nice guy though so no hard feelings’.

More to come.
