"For he's a jolly good fellow!
For he's a jolly good fellow!
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny!"
That's how that song goes here in the U.S. That final clause is meant to add a sense of absolute certainty to the assertion the 'he' is indeed a jolly good fellow. But in England, the final clause is sung as "And so say all of us", which is much more of a qualifier. It's basically equivalent to saying "As far as we can tell."
But what if your belief that someone is jolly good falls somewhere between mere opinion and absolute truth? I'd like to propose the ending "And wikipedia agrees." This would require that the person have a wikipedia entry. Should we start listing jolly good fellows at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_good_fellows ?

I made these earlier today and put them in the fdigre to chill. When my partner came home I just popped four into the oven. Baked for 12 minutes and they were perfect! So moist and chewy. Will bake some for the kids tomorrow! Thanks

Just a little code creceotrn, the right syntax is:Teacher.objects.filter(subjects__in=teacherA.subjects.all())If .all() is skipped the expression returns TypeError: ManyRelatedManager' object is not iterable P.S. Do you have to add distinct() to the expression above if you want to avoid duplicated values n the result.Thanks, its really simpler now.
