Quote Advent Calendar: Day 25

"Whatta year!"
- J.C.

Story behind quote:
When Master was discussing, with ANT and Wicks, what this final quote in this year's Advent Calendar should be, they just couldn't think of a single word to sum up the year. It's just been so incredibly amazing, so I thought it would be most suitable for this to be The Quote.

Merry Christmas!!! :)

Just wishing everyone a very merry Christmas! I hope you've all had a wonderful day :)

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 24

"It has so much personality."
- A.T.

Story behind quote:
One lunchtime, Wadz drew a character on her hand and decided that she would try her hand (pun intended) at being a ventriloquist. When ANT saw the character, she exclaimed, "It has so much personality." And from then on, ANT has continued to use it to describe many other objects, e.g. bright orange benches, etc.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 23

Yesterday: "Das Rollercoaster war wunderbar, weil es sehr quick."
Today: "Will I get marked down for that?"
- M.E.

[Translation (well, vaguely): "The rollercoaster was wonderful, because it was very quick."]

Story behind quote:
In the German exam, one guy wrote, 'sehr quick' because he forgot what the German word for 'quick' was. Ok, if you're doing a language exam and you don't know how to say something, just scrap the sentence and say something that you do know.
When everyone first heard about this, we all burst out into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Meanwhile, the guy asked if he would get marked down for it. That didn't help with the laughing.
The best part was that he was genuinely not finding it very funny. In fact, he was vaguely angry about the whole thing and decided to ask, "Ok, I know it was a stupid thing to write, but what is so funny about all this?!" Everyone else carried on laughing, it pretty much made everyone's week ;p
