27th March 2009Is It Ok For My Christian Daughter To ‘M’?This is one of the funniest articles that I've read in a long time. Read it. "When I reached in her [my daughter's] undergarment drawer and I will be frank, my heart dropped as I found one of those electronic phallic objects in it.

18th March 2009Advanced Higher French Speaking ExamNOTE: FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN TIPS AND ADVICE ABOUT ADVANCED HIGHER FRENCH, CLICK HERE. It's a date that I've been thinking about for a long time - and now it's over: the day of my Advanced Higher French speaking exam. Ever since I chose to take Advanced Higher French (over a year ago now), I knew that one of these days I was going to have to sit in front of an external examiner, and talk. In French. For 20 long, stressful minutes. Well, it turned out to be not so bad after all. My examiner was a native French speaker who ...

About Wilf's Blog
I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
