Mr Lamb

Mr Lamb is an outspoken history teacher and popular culture critic, who lives in Lancashire. Despite humbly working as a teacher, he has earned international acclaim for his corduroy evening wear and paralysing one-liners. He has also earned a place in the hypothetical 'House of Goddesses' in Hogwarts.

Life

It is not known when or where Mr Lamb was born, or where he lives, though some say with much conviction - 'The Sky'. However, he has been teaching in Lancashire for at least eight years following an undoubtably successful childhood and early adult life. Born a demi-god, he has not been approached in marriage nor in partnership. However, he does have a colourful history with 'fancypants' Jonathan Philips and the dreaded 'Vampyra' (who has been likened in some ways to 'Balafalafa'). He takes a keen interest in serial killers and the Eurovision Song Contest.
