Bird on a Wire- Leonard Cohen

The problem is Jeremy that the kinds of people you are talking about would not want to have power over others because they would be off doing useful, cooperative humane things of real benefit to humankind, and not on the endless quest for votes.

Vik you should visit the car park behind White's pet shop in Sydenham......

Well Sue I hope your kids are in class with some travellers' kids and when they come home with knocked off designer gear and refuse to do their homework ......or- you get called up at work because your child has joined in disruption and you must go and collect him/her....

Yes- it is not good when they send their kids to your school for a couple of weeks and then clear off. The ones I have experienced are put in classes according to their age and are below the reading age and deficient in Maths and become disruptive since they/their parents do not care about their education- and they have a detrimental effect on the other students- but equal opps and all that bleeding heart liberal bs....

Do It Again- Steely Dan

Affiliated With The Suffering- Blood Red Throne

I heard that LBC this morning- Ollies said that only 5% of his customers per day were schoolkids?

One of my colleagues and his partner had a child later in life and he caught shingles when the child had chicken pox. He was off work for 3 months. Also, people on a course of steroids are more susceptible to catching the virus and they have to be notified.

Definitely not for me

Roads to Moscow- Al Stewart

Turn to Stone- Joe Walsh

I knew a scouse ex-social worker who ran a knitwear business in the post-office in Dulwich Village and she lived in Barry Road. However- sometime between leaving Liverpool and my meeting her she had completely obliterated any hint of Scouse by having elocution lessons to the extent that she pronounced half-term as 'half-tarm' in true posh London-style. So you never know who is a scouser unless you ask. She has since moved to Scotland last I heard. Meanwhile http://www.scouser.com/scouse-recipe/

Sorry to be negative but I cannot ignore this thread.I have taught in faith schools off and on for 20 years including this school. It has always been an eye-opener and a surprise to me how they let the pupils get away with being anti-gay (secondary pupils) and even anti- people of no faith. If students ask me if I am religious I tell them I'm not and in faith schools they are shocked that I got a job there. If you want your child to be brain-washed by all means go ahead but 'pray' they are not gay or they will really suffer. Also in more recent years the methods used to 'brainwash' are becoming more insidious. You need to be on your guard I'm afraid.

Stock up on arnica- one of my kids did this and came home with horrible bruises!

PG-I thought your post was a bit of sarcasm actually- sweeping generalisations and all that...

Got To Give It Up- Thin Lizzy

ETTA is the place to look for venues and competetive leagues

It's 'disdain' btw

Sunshine Superman- Donovan

Whenever I have been on an extended shopping trip to the West End, I always get a prawn sandwich and a drink and get on the top deck of the 176- bliss. I absolutely object to paying through the nose and waste time sitting down for food and drink in a coffee shop or whatever- and you would be lucky to get a seat anyway.

Yes, page 2, Into the purple valley is my fave

Itchycoo Park- The Small Faces

Bred For Breeding- Strangers

(that reminded me of when a visitor came into the room and said (with a dead straight face)someone she knew had a new car- it was a Vulva!)
