Wowzer, multipile votes allowed too. Don't let on to the other candidates gw.

Is it true that keeping your coffee in the freezer maintains the flavour? Personally, mrs h and i like ours strong from a cafetiere (sp), and our current brew is one in a big bucket bought from the Poundland for a pound. I add that I love Nescafe but a decent cup boils down to the procedure followed - coffee in cup, milk in cup, stir vigorously, add boiled water (allowed to cool for about 1 minute) stirring all the time. This method works to improve many lesser brands too btw. I heard that this happens as instant coffee is a 'solution' whereas beans, and tea for that matter, are 'infusions', an solution is aided by the hotter water but the coffee can be burnt hence letting the water cool a tad. hth. Mrs b, I agree re mac d coffee, it's loverly stuff.

Nic has had it easy in the criticism stakes compared to Hoddle, Ian Branfoot and Carlton Palmer (amongst others) last night. The swear filter won't permit me to direct quote them, not nice things to say about someone though, not just to get a few laughs anyway.They also criticised the low turnout at the HFH match, in effect the audience. Maybe next time they could.donate their collective Gaumont takings and keep the gate receipts for themselves.To be completely.frank and honest, I am glad I.didn't pay for my ticket last night. it was crap. imho of course.

Alan Lake was in it too iirc. I believe that west brom have a (Jack) Halford (Brian) Lane stand, would be far too tenuous to say it was a (Gerry) standing terrace though as everywhere had standing areas in the past. Am I close?

Don't worry about dune, I'm sure that.deep down he knows that his own educational shortcomings are not reason enough for the next generation to be held back. It's NOT YOUR FAULT DUNE. MOVE ON.Anyway, an exam is an exam is an exam. Accept it. If you can retain information that's fine, lots of people need other people with.good memories. If you choose to use a tool developed by some cleverer people to find an answer then that is even better, it shows resourcefulness.Progressing as a society or human race is more dependant on resourcefulness and ideas than it is on peoples ability to recall information.NBI know I'm not good at writing my thoughts and ideas down, I apologise for that but it really is not my fault.

There is a reason why they are called smart phones. I approve of the use of calculators in exams too. From my experience teaching entry level and below IT to adults, I'd add Google to the permitted list. Schools and their rules cam and often do stifle.

Cheers gaffer, please ask him not to mention my charity work though, I don't do it for self promotion or any form of recognition. I would literally cringe if he mentions it tbh, so please make.sure he doesn't mention it.My brother on the other hand........

Have you pee'd any blood? What are your stools like?

Hope you're not patronising me Mr Thorpe. ;-) I liked it all actually and have series linked it. I can clearly.spot a few pupils in there who will "amount to nothing" [sic]. Being adolescents it is paramount to nurture and focus on what they are interested in and/or good at. I have no doubt that you excel at teaching Mr Thorpe, would you not agree that teaching individuals is more important than teaching a class in some cases? I've been asked to make a presentation on life skills in a few weeks to some hcc decision makers, I shall be making a point of including how to use a mobile phone and.how to express one's individuality through dress. People should not wait until adulthood to learn these things. Sexuality too, not just the action but the interaction. Is make.a blirriant teacher.

/\Yep, sold out Iirc.

He does do a lot for charity doesn't he. Good man.

There's a good chance that Matt won't bang on about Hoddle overlooking him (again) and focus on the more important issues of the day, ie how many sycophants he can muster one a stage.I'm in two minds whether to go now tbh, Osman had better be on form.

"what's pi, where did it come from?" Although amusing, epitomises an underlying problem that I, amongst many others, experienced. What a waste of time and effort making people sit through lessons that they start by disliking and end up hating as a result.I understand what pi is and can use it to work out the area of a circle etc but it was a struggle and I feel my time would have been better spent in woodwork or suchlike. It took me a good 20 years to 'learn' what I was good at and school should have realised and taught me that.That school, based on the staff shown, is trying to bully and humiliate out of the pupils some of the traits that they should be nurturing imho. Those kids aren't necesarily wrong, they are different.I hated school and only had a couple of teachers who were interested in my personal development. Too many egotistical traits kick in when they encounter someone 'different'.

If I were in charge, every ex saint would get a seat whenever they wanted one, normal seat with the normal fans though, none of this ambassador sh it, that goes totally against the whole principle I'm afraid.

Would it be wrong.for me to boo tomorrow night at The Mayflower show if this is brought up? Can't wait to see Mike Osman do his Red Rum, Matt and Lawrie....better wear my contipants just in case.There's an open q and a bit, I shall sit on my hands, be for the best I think.Ironically, I was given a free ticket.

'personally' proud?He's too young for you jacko, plus he has a girlfriend.

Jimmy Case! Why Jimmy Case?

Who could this dastardly 'Nigel' be?

Saville Row suits are not for normal people though. They look out of place unless in the company of like-minded Saville Row patrons. Class? Two words - dubia + phil I have 3 suits. I do not own a tracksuit.

Absolute tosh. A man not wearing a belt is not dressed to leave the house.

I won't cancel the ML just yet, might not pay the bill either...just in case.

Over the past week our attendances have died. :-( Must be a record in itself.

Took our 10 year old grand daughter to brighton last week. She casually asked mrs h about periods and I started telling her about ladies producing an egg once a month etc etc. mrs h gave me an almighty elbow in he ribs ans asked what the hell I thought I was doing. Clearly we have differing views on dealing with an inquisitive mind. Not my job maybe, but never lie to kids I say.

My sister has 5 kids, all called John, all by different fathers. I asked her why she had called them all John and she told me that when she wants them all to come in for dinner, she just shouts 'John'. Brilliant. I asked what she did when she wanted just one of them. She told me that she uses their last names. Brillianter...

One word. Stair-Rods, brass ones.
