Schadenfruede

Some years ago in a moment of madness I became a life member of my old boys school club. I get the school magazine. It gets less interesting now but I did chuckle over the obituary page of old masters.

Re: Schadenfruede

Do you mean schadenfreude - a feeling of enjoyment that comes from seeing or hearing about the troubles of other people?
