Er, Mick - on this thread:


However, doesn't is spelt with only one O.


Pinhead.



You have been defeated by your spelling by a superior and magnanimous opponent.



Your last post "...that didn't take long" should've at least finished with a full stop.


Pinhead.



Your previous post to that also lacked the appropriate punctuation.


Pinhead.



However,


Your eventual downfall mirrored that of the other pinhead scoffing from afar. You ignored the basic etiquette of a full stop.


Pinhead.



You made the school girl error of starting a sentence with and.


You have no idea how good that just felt.


Pinhead.



Funny though.


Edited again to say that wasn't meant to be mean to BBW, rather to point out the bleeding obvious to MM.

Can I say that really it should have read; "As", "And" or "But".

Well what do you expect from a geezer from Peckham who not only covered house walls in graffiti but could not even spell "tiger"?!


Rupert Brooke had exquisitely-barbered short hair though...

and a better one than you..." B)

On the one and only occasion I had afternoon tea in Grantchester the honey was served in a tiny plastic pot emblazened with the word "Kraft"....so I have to agree with you, even if "and is there jam still for tea?" would be less evocative as well as metrically compromised. But I still say it's ok to begin a sentence with a conjunction.B)

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
