I can tolerate some kids. Which doesn't mean the quiet ones, just the clever ones. But that's part of who I am. As the world dumbs down, I've become more ensconced in my ivory tower. I prefer the company of the clever and well-educated, almost none of whom seem to exist before the age of about 30 or so, which is not to say there are none, nor that they spring, fully-formed in some mythical self-creation. I know I'm in danger of disappearing up my own arsehole, but sooner or later we all revert to type: and I suppose I'm a bit like a sort-of-straight, not traitorous, Anthony Blunt type. I try to be kind, and wit matters more than just about anything, but I do 'lose it' with both the unformed and uninformed: especially when they are vehement in their unformed and uninformed opinions. Something about fools, gladly, inability to deal therewith. I'm dead good a teaching masterclasses in guitar, however (when I can be bothered, and I think the pupil is doing the work, or is especially talented). Everyone has their level. Mine is dictated by the limits of my patience and my leaning towards irrascability, if that's the word. But I shall have to learn better. So I will.
