  • I don't like I'm a celebrity, but each to his or her own.I prefer to see a real jungle with David Attenborough and animals, not creepy crawlies.image that you have to eat, yuk

    Geoff, you would have plenty of geese if you moved to France, they eat every bit of it, fois grais, gizzards,etc. quite like the jungle, and they use the feathers to make duvets etc..image

    Our bonfire is no more, don't think we upset the neighbours, at least no one came knocking on the door, they are all probably muttering indoors.image

    Who will be out tonight on SCD? my bet is on either Fern or Michael, but I quite like everyone that are left in this year. Darcey is very posh isn't she, yarh

    My favourite punishment is to make a child colour in every other square of graph paper, an english teacher I worked with said that making writing a punishment was wrong.

    Did anyone see Secret State on CH4 this week?- and for the Nordic drama fans the Killing is back next Saturday.

    Do schools still have detentions?

    Has anyone ever eaten something odd-just too see what it tastes like?

    Never had oysters

    Geoff we do still do detentions, the difference now is that I can email the parents from my desk.

    I have recorded Secret State is it any good?

  • I have had oysters, that was in France some time ago, they taste just like the sea, salty and delicious. I think they are something you either love or hate. The piece of lemon they gave us to squeeze over them was nearly are expensive as the oysters. OH and daughter would not try them, they said that they looked like something unmentionableimage, I'll leave it to your imagination, both wimps.

    I'm pleased you enjoyed Les Mis, Kate, I have always wanted to see it, and last year we were given a lot of Theatre Vouchers for our wedding anniversary, and thought it would be good to use them for that show. You have to book 6 months in advance to get a good seat, so just hope nothing comes along to prevent us from going, as there is no refunds or change to bookings allowedimage.

    Secret State was good-there is no slow build up to events -you are straight in there-if you like conspiracy/political thrillers you will like this

    Chris-I saw frozen snails in the supermarket-just couldn'timage

    Do teachers still throw chalk across the room?

    I saw Secret State - Found it  chilling - like House of Cards. - compelling but not quite sure if I really want to know.image

    OH done some research and bug found the other day (picture posted) was a Great Green Cricket what it was doing inside my washing line cover??image today when I put line up I was very careful.

    Just done some mud pies - well clearing some weeds to help bulbs planted last year - so wet where they are, am not sure if any have survived the summer. Did find a couple of snowdrop and a tulip (miniature) but nothing else. Put a layer of compost on the top. Fingers crossed.

    I used to have a white board - no chalkimage

  • Believe it or not I was a goody goody at school but a teacher once slapped me across the face as we were learning dance steps and all the girls lined up behind the lady teacher and the boys behind the man. When it came to dancing with a boy I didn't realise we had to hold each other and Miss must have thought I was being awkward. My partner didn't get into trouble just me. She would have lost her job today I suppose.

    Hi Bjay. I thought it was a cricket but didn't know what kind.  I don't know if they survive the winter or just lay eggs to carry on for next year. I had two in the bedroom about a month ago so maybe they do hibernate

    No, they hurl Smart Board pens - though only after a full risk assessment has been submitted to and approved by the school governors and the local authority ;- )
