Sandy McManus - Speak Out Now!

I would like all EFL teachers to voice their support for Sandy McManus (founder of The TEFL Blacklist) by sending messages to the blogger who is responsible for attempting to silence him. Sandy has done more than anyone to expose the charlatans at work in EFL
Tell the swine to back off. He is at:

http://sandymcmanus.blogspot.com

You need to speak out and NOW.............. otherwise (muttering incoherently) I'm next in line.

BTW. Anyone spotted Paul Lowe?

The TEFL Tradesman - Trouble at t'mill

It seems that Sandy McManus' blog The TEFL Tradesman has gone for good as a consequence of some vendetta carried out, probably by one of the usual suspects mentioned at http://sandymcmanus.blogspot.com.
If anyone has any idea who could be behind this attack please let your noble sleuth know.
The recent sequence of articles on the blog about the risks to children from pedofiles were very good.
Just let me know Sandy, if you want them preserved, and I'll post them on The TEFL Blacklist as they deserve a wide audience. (leave them in the third left-luggage locker from the left at Victoria station, number 999).

Sandy McManus Needs You

Sandy McManus, seems to be under attack from some nutter intent on mischief making. Your beloved sleuth is often the recipient of threats of an unseemly nature and feels that any attack on Sandy is an attack on himself. Tis true that Sandy doesn't take prisoners, but then one might well argue , why should he?

The TEFL industry is riddled with charlatans that need exposing and thank goodness there are ways for teachers to warn others of unscrupulous employers.

This is what Sandy has to say:

"WARNING!! Nutter on the Loose!

Look out!! There's a right dickhead over there in France (IP 213.41.241.# - Nerim) who thinks he's got me rumbled. Fortunately, for me anyway, he's barking up the wrong palm tree. However, in order to protect the innocent party that is persistently being named as the REAL Sandy McAnus, I've temporarily switched off the comments section for all blog postings.

If you really want to contact me (no, not you, Mr Dickhead in France), e-mail me on teflsandy@yahoo.ie. Or you can slag off Monsieur Tete de Coq over on...


I reckon he'll be needing a lawyer soon, once David K. gets wind of what he's up to.

BTW, what IS the French for dick?"

I am sure that Sandy would agree with me that the bugger needs seeing off and a few well chosen messages to that effect posted on his site might just be what the doctor ordered.

Who Killed Sandy McManus?

I suspect foul play. Last year Sandy was blackmailed by the "Headmaster" in Japan and handed over the keys to the TEFL Blacklist to your noble sleuth. Now suddenly and unexpectedly he has abruptly ceased his Tefltrade blog.

His list of enemies it must be confessed was rather long. I have a suspicion that someone has finally tracked him down.

I notice that someone has nominated Paul Lowe for an Oscar. He's certainly been after Sandy for some time.

Old Sandy used to let rip. Now alas it's R.I.P.

A Death in The Family ?

"I hate to spread rumours, but what else can one do with them?"
Amanda Lear

" Or perhaps the word 'suicide' would be more accurate? No, no - it has to be a case of ... fratricide.
You see, I've done a dirty deed - a deed most foul, by any standards. I've killed off Sandy's World-Wide TEFL Blog. Where once there was, well, another of my 'works in progress', now there is a blissful silence - or rather, a 404 error message.
In fact, all that remains of the old blog is this. But don't worry - Sandy's UK Tefl Blog is displaying no tendencies towards self-annihilation, and fully intends to grow old disgracefully.
What's more, Inspector McHammered of The Lard appears to have resurfaced (just don't ask what he's been up to!) in Korea, of all places. Let's wish him well, and encourage more of his investigatory travellings, eh?"


If true "The Headmaster" who forced Sandy to hand over the keys of the Tefl-Blacklist to your noble sleuth might well, make the nominations for the Blacklist Oscars in time.

Long live The Tefl-Trade Blog.

TEFL-trade and Sandy McManus are on the move!

Sandy McManus has gone. It is looking omininously as if his cover has been blown. It's an occupational hazard for those of us who operate behind enemy lines. Paul Lowe who has figured in many an article on The TEFL Blacklist is number one suspect behind the attack on Sandy. The Sandy McManus blog at http://sandymcmanus.blogspot.com is an attempt to stop Sandy exposing his less savoury business ventures such as the fake Trinity scam.
For all those readers who are unaware of the fact, Sandy created the TEFL Blacklist, although he has since moved on to pastures new (or shall we say, less dangerous grazing), so all threats of litigation, and leg breaking regarding the various postings on The TEFL Blacklist should be directed to Inspector McHammered of the Lard.
As a consequence your noble sleuth may well be on the move himself!
Sandy will no doubt reappear in good time. You simply can't keep a good man down.

The TEFL Market has Bottomed Out


Disgusting! I'm sure that is what you are thinking. What on Earth is Inpector Mchammered of the Lard thinking of and to what depths has he now descended to publish such a photo?? Calm down dear readers. This is the first authentic sighting of SandyM, that well known TEFL benefactor, perhaps taken from a strange angle, but nevertheless, he was caught on camera whilst caning a DOS.

I apologise for the offence this image might cause to "shocked of Worthing" but as this is such a rare sighting I feel it my duty to expose the blighter for the shameless bounder that he is.

A complaint has beeen received that a more dashing pair of buttocks has been censored. My granny objected so I leave you, the readers and undoubted connoisseurs of what actually elevates your ordinary buttock to star buttock status, to be the judges by clicking on the section "A Poem to a Colleague" here. No raspberries please, though I would advise the model in question to get his lawnmower out of the shed a little earlier this spring as it could be put to other uses.

The Headmaster's Study

Once upon a time, in the Land of the Rising Bum, there lived a flatulent frog. He liked nothing better than to boast a bit about how nice he was, but really he was a bit of a bully boss who had the amazing ability to speak through his bottom.

If this naughty frog ever dares threaten Inspector McHammered of the Lard again, the magical thread woven on the web about his expoits (and now safely archived) and telling all sorts of tales about him will instantly reappear with a quick wave of my wand and I'll have no option but to cane him in front of the whole school.

Be warned and keep well away from The Tefl Blacklist Monsieur/Mr. Jean-Guy and keep out of trouble in Japan .

Stick to watching your Black Adder videos, it's safer.

Sandy has been forced into early retirement and has absolutely NO control over this blog. I will however immediately and without warning repost the entire thread (you blackmailed him into removing) about your school, if I ever hear from (or about) you again.

P.S. The thread for the moment is still in Google's cache so if you do a google search for "Jean-Guy Japan" you'll find it in "Cached" at about number 25. The cache will soon enough disappear though and you will be out on parole.

I personally doubt you'll be able to resist annoying me (unfortunately for you "annoying me" includes any attempt to contact me) so I think the chances of the posting reappearing are quite high.
