  4. Whilst on the way back from Bristol (having collected younger brother from college), Mr Brinkly saw a mini-bus fully of some of the fittest girls I have ever seen going on a hen night, frankly I'm surprised I didn't have a crash! ;-)

      @Craig - if her parents had gnomes in the garden it was probably a good thing he screwed up at that point.

  5. Despite being made in 1967, You Only Live Twice remains my favourite Bond film! 'It's another space craft! The Front is opening up!' Amazing!

      Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.' 'Yes, this is my second life.' You only live Twice Mr Bond!' Love that paragraph!

  8. Is travelling on one of the new GWR Hitachi trains to London. The first class seat isn't as nice as the model fitted in the HSTs. Shudder to think what standard class is like!

      Whatever happened to blackboard rubbers being thrown at them, always seemed to grab the lazy little bu##ers attention when I was at skool !

      Probably "strenglich verboten" these days - haven't you heard - wasters always seem to have "human rights", even if everyone else doesn't.

       

      After all, you know the reason corporal punishment was banned in schools? They ended up with some kids who were allowed to be disciplined and some who were not.

       

      I suspect the ones who needed sorting out were in the "can't touch me" group.

  12. Building wagons and listening to Fleming's Dr No. What could be better?

  15. 17 children remain this afternoon out of 29 in my class and this has been replicated across our two-form entry school. Most are off following the government advice. So, when do the mass closures start!?

      We have had no official word from Ofsted! Some rumours, but nothing firm!

       

      I've been told this morning should I be in as I'm asthmatic! lol 

       

      Re work, yeah the amount I've been sending home has steadily increased of late! At least I don't have to mark it though! Light at the end of the tunnel!

  17. If anyone has a Malcolm Mitchell 45xx 4mm kit or a 55xx 4mm kit, please can you send me a PM. Ideally, un-built. I would also consider the Churchward Models 45xx kit too. I'm happy to pay sensible prices.

      Ourobus - the NHS staff are simply amazing and the crap you put up with simply isn't fair. I really can't thank you all enough. Stay safe and keep well. Kind regards.

      Cheers guys.  The local priest came to bless our place of work yesterday.  That brought some mixed emotions.  Given the circumstances, some felt it more like we were being read the last rites and got very upset.  But we carry on and with God's blessings, we'll come out the other side.  Each week that goes by is one week closer to getting on top of it.

      I heard the phrase something like "There is and end to this..." this morning. I believe it is the title of a book about very tough events to be dealt with and the author was talking on Radio 2 to Kate Botley and Jason Mohammed at about 8 this morning. She was lovely and calm and measured. Quite inspirational. Stay safe you all.
