"Mediocrity, I discovered, was the great camouflage, the great protective colouring. Those boys who did not fail, yet did not excel, were left alone, free from the demands of the master who might wish to groom them for glory and of the school bully who might make them his scapegoat. That simple fact was the first great discovery of my life."
Alan Bradley, "The sweetness at the bottom of the pie".
Abovementioned quote to be used mercillessly during my two week army reservist stint. Ah, the pleasures and woes of wearing green.
