Katie "Jordan" Price was two years below me at secondary school, and somewhat more surreally, legendary consumptive filth-mongering fin-de-siecle artist Aubrey Beardsley went to my sixth form college (although it was a boys' grammar school then).


Jordan & Aubrey Beardsley, there's a conversation I'd like to listen in on...

Did he carry on teaching? It always really annoys me those people who say that it won't change their life, they'll just have a nice little holiday or get some new tyres for the car and then put the rest in the bank. I hope he went into school the next day and told them to stick their job, he was going off to live in Tuscany in a massive villa and sod the lot of them.


Or race ride-on lawnmowers around his country estate like "Lottery Lout" Michael Carroll.

I'm not sure Pinky but I will tell you one thing. The teacher in question was called Mr Cleave and he had a bit of a camp way of carrying himself and the rudimentary comments regarding which team he batted for were made. However, I was fortuanate enough to go on the school trip to Paris during the 98 world cup and we were incredibly fortuntate in that Mr Cleave had arranged for us to go and see the Brazilian team train. It appeared however that there may have been an alternative reason for this treat. As a gesture of good will some of the coaches/support staff had a kick about with us and what I witnessed on that day I shall take to my grave. Mr Cleave was passed the ball and EFFORTLESSLY dribbled the ball round every Brazilian who tried to take it off him. Our jaws hit the ground. His skill was utterly breath taking! The best was yet to come. He kicked the ball but the goalie deflected his attempt but old Cleave was having none of it. Not only did he Scorpion kick it into the back of the net but he did it with such grace and ease. Most of us had passed out by then. I don't think I ever heard a disrespectful remark made against him again, he was after all our hero!

Lol, I wouldn't knock it, at least people get what you do, and it's something plenty of people secretly wish they could do themselves. My life would be much less rich without other people making music.


I'm an actuary, most people have never heard of that, and if someone looks interested when I tell them what I do, it's only because they have misheard me and think I said actress. ;-)

Lol, I should try saying things like "I know when you will die" and make it sound like I am a shady mafia boss. The reality of "I can predict when the average person your age might die" doesn't sound so threatening. And to be fair, I look about as threatening as the average marshmallow so I doubt anyone would take me for a mafioso!

lol, I'm sure I read a novel where a female character tried to advertise flute lessons and got all sorts of responses. I wasn't sure if it was just pure fiction or if that sort of thing happens in real life.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
