Sandy MacManus, who turned 72 on Friday and will be confirmed this week as the oldest first-time TEFL World President nominee in history, has shot himself in the foot while attempting to inject some youth and a feminine touch into his flagging presidential campaign by choosing some 23 year old random posh bird, a self-confessed “jolly hockey-sticks, like my Mum” with a degree in Women’s Studies from Exeter University as his running mate. A source as close to Sandy as anyone could bear to get said that in private he gave his reason as “I’ve been out of the country too long and don’t know how to deal with those scary English women anymore, so I didn’t know how to say no.”

This is a historic day, however, as for the first time it is certain that there will be a female or a carrot top in the TEFL Presidential Office (”the White Room”)* next year
TEFL World Presidents through history: 

W D Minor
Wilfrid Owen
Rex Harrison
Dick Van Dyke- for his amazing ability with accents
Sean Connery- ditto
Mario Rinvolucri’s beard (he was in a delicate time in therapy at the time, and not talking to the rest of his face)
Sandy MacManus (disputed/ retired)
