I’d like to be thought of as: 1. The ‘fungi’! Not mushroom for anyone as funny in my classes. 2. The little bronzed Adonis – small but perfectly formed, though less hirsute than most! 3. Firm but fair – the uniform and gum police. Dr. Tilbrook's Jokes & Stories: Let me leave you with a couple of jokes for the road: 1. Two peanuts were walking down the road – one was assaulted! 2. A ham sandwich walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender apologises but says, ‘no, we don’t serve food in here’. 3. A termite walks into the same bar and asks, ‘is the bar tender here? Finally, true story. I used to have a pet spider that came when I called it. Lovely little thing it was. Brown and hairy, fly eater. But even at a young age I was fascinated by science and nature, lapping up all the natural history programmes available. In one I saw that spiders hear through their feet. Brilliant I thought, I can test this. So, I got my little spider friend and pulled his legs off and it appears they were right. He never came when I called again! Dr. Tilbrook's Final Statement: Gents, work hard. Make good decisions. And remember NEMO – Never Ever Miss an Opportunity. Grab life by the scruff of the neck and enjoy the ride. My excessive age is a privilege not metered out to everyone so make the most of the time you have. No Regrets! It’s been emotional! "A legendary teacher and a hilarious man. Biology Lessons were the best when he was around to teach us. We all had fun and that's what made us and him happy. I guarantee that everyone will miss him." "Dr. Tilbrook is a really entertaining and lively teacher who always makes his lessons interactive and never boring. I enjoy every moment and I hope he has a great time at his next school."
