Sorry, nick, Perpugwilliam Brown every time.

 

No wonder it was shortened to "Peri"

She was the only person that made the fifth and sixth Doctors worth watching, awfully fond of wearing skimpy tops and leaning forward!

 

More intellectual (The thinking mans Dr Who assistant?), and accompanying the previous two timelords, I have fond memories of Sarah Jane Smith.

 

There you go.

I thought it better not to appear partisan.

I will tell you why... I have of late—but wherefore I know not—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises.

 

As an aside, more being-spied-on-by-internet-businesses, I watched the film Inception on Netflix last night.  Just now, went onto the Bay of Fleas and this, never-seen-before ad popped up ....

I had a sense of humour failure just now, I was thinking about a pleasant afternoon muddling in the loft, after fulfilling G word duties this morning. But, SWMBO wanted me to order a replacement tap for one that’s dripping (ceramic, of course) soo, rang round, tap obsolete six years ago, order modern replacement unit on line, order cancelled, visa transaction subject to security, ring bank, pillar to post, customer satisfaction, (they’re having a laugh), security happy, off to reorder, transaction cleared, check email, etc. Sod it, let’s have an ice cream.

Same here. just couldn't get access for a couple of days. Then it appeared, then disappeared again. Now it is back (obviously)

Remember that I characterised the present government as very much the second eleven?

 

Exam results. Need I say more?

 

My own view is that anyone downgrading my son's mock or predicted results (i.e. his future) for the sake of achieving some abstract goal of desired overall statistics deserves to be hunted down and tortured to death. HMG asked Ofqual for a model that produced just such an outcome.  It was a difficult issue to navigate, but just like Covid, the quality of decision-making and time lag in doing what became obviously necessary exposes, once again, the hapless amateurishness of the present administration. Today's attempt by those of Her Majesty's Ministers responsible to blame Ofqual for the debacle is as egregious as it is dishonest. God rot them.

 

We are governed by knaves and fools.

 

I feel better for that.  Tomorrow, if I remember, I'll order some fishplates.

 

God bless and keep you all.

A good Conservative understands that it is people as individuals who matter, not the abstract mass. I trust your son has indeed got what he needs for the next phase of his education.
