That is beyond comprehension that someone thought that up.

But, on reflection, possibly comprehensible if you consider the following hypothetical situation:

Three film sound people are sitting in the studio watching the 'rushes'. They need to put sound to them.

One says: 'oh, we need some sound when they open that spaceship's door. What should we use?'

Another says 'dunno - they did the shhhht shhhht thing in Star Trek so it has to be different to that'

The third is sitting there quietly fretting about the letter from the credit card company he picked up off the doormat as he left home to go to work. He's already lifted the flap but hasn't yet dared to take out the letter.

As the other two are pondering about shhhht shhhht and Star Trek, he gets brave and takes the letter out of the envelope with one eye closed just to have a peak at what it says.

As he does, his colleague closest to him say "That's it! Do it again!" and the Star Wars doors opening sound is born. The third guy with the credit card company letter that he can't face to read is suddenly quids in and ends up being able to buy the credit card company!

Oooops sorry - off on a really non-OS tangent there. But it helped declutter the imagination. And it is the weekend - at least it is in my diary...

That is sooo funny and aposite

Ah yes it is the weekend so we can chat, therefore another question.

? how much homework do you think it is appropriate for a Yr2 child to received a week (age 6/7)? Do you think there should be any reprecussions for not doing the homework?

Am secondary trained not primary, but I would say not too much or too often and no repercussions.

There is no evidence of any educational value from most homework tasks, we set h/w because parents like it, largely.

Quillion

Is there an easy 'just lob it in the slowcooker' type of thang I can do? You know, the carcass, some meat and a tin of soup styley...........or have I just answered my own question.:rotfl:

rosepink1984

So far today I have:
Started the WM
Made DH a drink
Rung lettings agent re boiler and rung toxic over having her kids tomorrow, only one of them is coming now but that's ok
Nagged DH

Now off to wash up as DH is showing no interest in it. He is at home all day to help me. So far he has spent the morning playing online darts and eating toast. Hmmm. Still, at least I managed to pilfer all his change out of his pantaloons when I started the washing.
