definitely recommended for the kleenex brigade!, 2 October 2002
1/10
Author: MIKEHILL38 (MIKEHILL38@HOTMAIL.COM) from manchester, england

this is a heartfelt drama about this bloke who beds aload of birds while working as a teacher. theres alot of tasty crumpet in abundance along with loads of sex scenes. if you forget about all the arty stuff you should find all the dirty bits enjoyable!
