Just love the word, boooooooooooming Exclusion Officer. Sums it up sometimes! Why cannot these (Apols to DD likes amongts us again) Educationalist make misery out of people! If there is money and targets to reach, it is wonderful. Just like some bits of paper for those incompetent to do a job at 16 this morning. What about those who education is a bloody farce, do they help them, no, they will them off the register.

Eh hem <<clears throat>> - actually us "educationalists" would very much like to educate but our hands are often tied by Government or, more likely, bl00dy administrators. Quite often it is a case of the tail wagging the dog. We end up having to justify our progression rates (i.e. the number of people who pass) and if they are down or too low, according to some pre ordained scale, have to answer as to why. Consequently people pass who shouldn't and we send out students into the big wide world who know chuff all about the subject which makes us look carp. A case in point is that I had two exam papers which were virtually identical. Three questions, pretty much word for word. I sent it to the cheating committee - the result? No case to answer :mad::mad:

Sorry - and breathe!!

Sorry about your friend, Sparrer. I so admire your courage and tenacity
Chicken - apparently page 194 is a corker! :cool:
Giddynici - relax!

So todays

1. Lovely goddaughter got 4 A grades in her AS exams. she is lovely and talented and very driven
2. Chat with friend - haven't seen her for a month, going for coffee tomorrow
3. House we are trying to let (part of the pension plan) looks more like a house I would live in after a great deal of work this week
4. Bacon sandwich for lunch. Been craving british bacon since being in the US - theirs is a different thing altogether ("theirs is a different thing";))
5. Soak in the bath this morning.

Sorry for the rant - Nighty nighty.

I kinow, but we tick boxes in society today. From the checkoutgirl who is measured by rushing products through, to the meter on the wobbleade pump. To the ticket machine in the car park, to the spy camer in the sky. All counted for our greater benefit!

Still think it has to be wing walking though.

5 Monty, ours tiger is back from his check up at the vet and again no scratched. he loves it and puckers up everytime he goes. His treatment is doing well and he is back on his food. Just has anotehr 10 days tablets to go. One shot and down.

4 Got a new toy that will be interesting later for Ms Sonny. I can now alter the Sky box from the iPad, so later today, I am going to remotely change channels etc.

Let you lot knows tomorning how it went!!!

Please do not let cat outs of bag!

3 It is raining, boooooooooooo

2 Tablets changed seem to as worked. No fighting tigers last night, so we never knows now. Really pleased this morning.

1 This is not the end, it is a test. You proffer up a sacrifice, to save yours. What is this sacrifice that has been offered? Should we throw this onto the fire.

It was then we realised, that as we burned up our offering, we cannot have recourse to our actions. Shall we toast Granny next?

Happy weekends everyone.

So last night in order to get some sleep, I dosed up on vitamins evening primrose and multi vits as I find they do help, had painkillers and a hot milk drink and pondered to bed.,
1. Thank Crunchie its Friday:j:beer:
2.It’s payday:)
3.It’s sunny:cool:
4. A lovely weekend coming up, I get to travel to the inlaws again and drop the cats off, as we aren’t off for another ponder for another week but their distance away means I can’t get there after work, but looking forward to it, its a mental first sign of the holiday wind down.:)
5. Dug down and tidied the bedroom hung up the piles of clean washing changed bedding, hovered wanted to do it before the scorcher of a weekend where I won’t bother.
6. Tea if I ever get around to making it will be Bangers n Mash, Low fat bangers, disguised in a thin Jack Daniels Sauce, veg and RTC mash and a cider I reckon.
