Cockney brat grabs points for swear words

The Irish Times on-line might be nice and free now, but it still can't compete with our cousins across the water for dynamite news stories.

Oh the Old Lady What Used to Live on D'Olier street may have the scoop on Mugabe's landslide victory (congrats Rob!) or that Sophie Toscan du Plantier's body is going to be dug up, but could it tell you that a British student was awarded marks for writing an expletive on his English language paper?

I f***ing thought not.
