FRENCH:

1/ "Pappy" Alexander. MP: "Knight first you fart then you belch GET OUT!"

Call me vulgar, but I laughed like a drain (d'you

> see what I did there?) at that one. Did Knight have the gumption to say 'Sorry sir, I didn't know you had to belch first?'


What "Jethro" Knight did,in fact,was to march out stomping the floor as hard as possible with his Doctor Martins on!:))


Another "Pappy" story-he was about 107 years old btw...He used to crack the same "joke" 100 times a year.

He would say in French "What have I got in my pocket?"...."Dunno,Sir" would be the reply from the gathered ensemble.

Then he would say with a big grin "5 pence and a piece of string!":))(6)....so once the "lads" got wise to this they agreed what to do next time.

The day soon arrived-usual spiel and silence after the "punchline" then a ripple then a few random laughs,gradually building so that everyone laughed,at first reasonably,then it grew and grew until the whole class were in uncontrollable hysterics,complete with holding their sides and Barry Rowing and Pancho Martinez rolling on the floor!

At first he smiled at the recognition of his joke but gradually it dawned on him that the lads were taking the pizzicato BIG-TIME:))...twas 40 years ago but still vivid today!

Dulwich Village Infants, Dulwich Hamlet Juniors and then Tulse Hill School For Boys/Thugs. Notable ex-pupils:- Ken Livingstone, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Smiley Culture, boxer Danny Williams (who once knocked out Mike Tyson in 4 rounds), actors Tim Roth and Kenneth Cranham, footballers Les Briley (Millwall) and Dennis Bailey (QPR) who famously scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

I didn't do notable pupils... Hmmm Sean Wright-Phillips, Scot Parker (my mate gave him a prefects detention for being so good at football).


If you read Eric the viking by Terry Jones, the beginning of the book says "story for Bill", that was his son, who was in the year above me.

...What did you learn in school today?]



I learnt that even the most out of control 15yr olds can blossom given the right encouragement...


I am not a school teacher but spent yesterday with 40 inner city school kids doing a design project called 'trainers of the future'. We used the trainer as a way to get them to 'dream' about what might be possible, think about other people's needs and understand how design can be used to improved peoples lives. You can't see form the pic all the magical ideas they had embeedded in their design thinking, but for example, the punky looking shoe... "the yellow spikes fly out when you are in danger on the streets and create a protective circle around you so you can not be harmed", the pale pink one (which is for babies) has "a button that you press to play a special kind of music that calms the baby, so it stops crying and starts smiling" They has 2 hours to do the project and worked in teams....

well you did ask Mikecg


edited a hundred times cos I can't sort out my pic to be small enough...

JL, didn't Francis Rossi of the Quo also go there. According to my mate Trev he did.

I'd ask him but he moved to New Zealand several years ago.

Any way the only person of any note who went to my secondary school is Gus O'Donnell the cabinet secretary.

And that was well after I left in somewhat of a hurry.

    • Direct link (sorry duplicated!):  Today, more than 30 states from around the world will gather in Bogotá, Colombia, for the “Emergency Conference” to halt the Gaza genocide: the most ambitious multilateral response since Israel began its campaign of devastation two years ago. Bringing together a broad coalition of governments — from Algeria to Brazil, China to Spain, Indonesia to Qatar — the conference aims, in the words of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, “to move from condemnation to collective action.” At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London and 17:30 Paris, we invite you to join this historic gathering's opening ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will hear testimony from Dr. Thaer Ahmed, who will recount his experience of working in Rafah and Khan Younis amidst Israel’s genocide. Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, will detail her government’s concrete commitments to uphold international law. After she was sanctioned by the Trump administration, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese will deliver a powerful message about the failure of the international system to protect the Palestinian people — and urge immediate and coordinated action by principled states. “Here in Bogotá, a growing number of states have the opportunity to break the silence and revert to a path of legality by finally saying: enough. Enough impunity. Enough empty rhetoric. Enough exceptionalism. Enough complicity,” Albanese will say. Today, the call from Bogotá will echo around the world. Join us. In solidarity,  The Progressive International Secretariat
