Brinkly

Does the sun ever shine in Ivybridge? I thought that it just skirted round the town a little scared ;-P

Well it normally does! Rather nice at present!

Sort of sunny up here as well.

2 1/2 weeks 'til we're trapped at home as the traffic grinds to a halt outside....

Home is often the best place to be in this part of the country, at this time of year...

There's a perverse joy in walking 1/2 mile to the local shop, walking back & seeing the same cars still there!

in P4 of course!

of course

A flexible period from late Nationalisation to early privatisation!

Cheers chaps.

If you are still teaching comfortable shoes and appoint some monitors!

Yes done both! haha Mr Rogers hasn't moved much this week!

lol Yeah, pigs might fly too! ;-)

Good luck with your jobhunting mate, summat a little bit better might turn up for you hopefully

Good luck with the job search what are you looking for

Ah death by powerpoint a slow way to go insane.....

Indeed! I'm sure I have committed a lot of 'Thought Crime' today! haha

you need interactive training bums off seats and moving around

Sellotape across the door at head height (adult or child you choose). 

Did you succeed? 

I spent most of the day involving various children in 'pranks' on various members of staff... chairs were moved, a vacuum cleaner hidden and ontop of that, I did manage to teach 5 high-quality lessons... 

The Force from you weakening it is, I see, young Brinkly. Strong you need to be. Resist the lure of the pretty engines you must!

I do like a nice Edwardian livery Master Kernow!

Susceptible you are, if seduced by small and pretty things you become, young Brinkly. Use the Force Young Master and put such fanciful notions aside. Strength you now need to avoid falling for an LNER prototype next!

I don't like cricket, oh no

Good morning Your Worship ... you take it from here!

Smar as bloody paint comments lads, smart as paint! ;-)

You'll just be a foreigner living amongst a load of foreigners, Nick! (sorry, 'ex-pats'). I am prepared to vouch for you on the official Kernow Residency Application form.

Grockles unite.....

Shoplifters of the world unite...

Switched off from TV years ago.

The majority of "grown up" television is pitched at a 12 year old level as this was the level which was found to be most inclusive to the "grown up" demographic. I'm joking either!

*not joking

I'm having similar fun with Peco third rail. Deep joy.

Reminds me of the Miracle Chair Company's slogan 'If it's a good chair it's a Miracle'

strangely i find it very relaxing.

****-ups and breweries come to mind!

Since "management" moved into teaching things went from bad to worse.

What on earth is a 'middle leader'? Sounds like the ultimate non job. From the tv last night - admin in high performing schools costs

Heading west then?

He'll be keeping the Bodmin lot (DRAG) on our toes now!

Haha! I don't know about that John. ;-) Team effort.

No I mean societies, more than one, not belonging too! ;-)

Don't worry. You're the right kind of modeller!!

I still don't understand what he's on about...

There is a new number for the emergency services....

0118 999 881 999 119 725 3

2UAT it !!!

must have been an ID 10T fault

You probably have a window of a few days only to do some amateur dramatics without needing any make-up!!

Brinkly and Wooster!

Got any photo's . ;-)

Brinkly,

why do you keep repeating yourself?

I don't know I only post it once.

Were you there for the F1 by any chance? I only caught the practise session but it was fantastic to see and hear the cars for real.

Sign of good taste!

But presumably it's the running qualities of the High Level chassis that will be crucial?

Ie. they're both for conversion, I assume?

Wrong season. Black Pudding

I'm not keen on black pudding I must say! More of a bacon man myself! ;-)

Mmmmmm, Bacon......

Now we know what happened to Taunton's left over pasties. Have a great evening all.

Veg curry?

(To AY) What I feel like Pasty tonight! ;-)

No rubbish in my classroom! (Changing school so want to get all my stuff out!) But seven months of clutter!

bet it isnt a match to my cupboard

you should see my flat!

That's brilliant! When I used to do a paper round over the summer holidays (many years ago now!) there was a man in Tavistock who had three cannons on his front drive! Just as good as a moat really!

Whats wrong with a Big Stick?

Well a sharpened big stick might be useful..

What Brinkly needs is for this poor benighted country to go back to the early 1970s, when there really was a three-day weekend....

Or indeed a 3-day week with 4-day weekends, I remember it well! Nightmare trying to operate a process that required 24 continuous production!

hahah! Yeah Tim hours and minutes are always a place for confusion! 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, but 24 hours in a day, explain that to a 4 yearold before you even go down the route of 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 too!

Whoa there, Horse - calm down!! I know our Brinkly has been described as a handsome fellow, but I wouldn't go quite so far as to describe him as a 'fine-lookin' woman'...!!

Well only at DRAG captain! Hahah!

I aint got fortyyyyyyy acres, just two at the mo. It comes of running 6 miles!
