September is traditionally the "Back To School" month for the students and this year is no different. A frantic few weeks at work getting all the new computers configured in time and now we're in full flow, as if there had never been a holiday at all.
Stuck in a Bangkok traffic jam behind a slow moving vehicle:
Lounging around with a lizard:
Two new students (twins) joined the school today. One's name is Big... the other is Boss!
Kev Price is a year 7 form teacher. Sam says that "..apparently they're very meek (but it was only their first day). We were reading their pupil profiles earlier this week where the kids write about themselves. Classic comment was: "My favourite lessons are Football, Dinnertime and Playtime"
Saturday 13th: Wolves play Southampton today. My home town playing my University town. I can't loose really can I? ... unless it's a draw.
From my Sister:
Tommy Cooperisms..........to brighten up the day.
1. Phone answering machine message - "...If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key..."
2. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts.
The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts."
3. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
4. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, No, the steaks, are too high."
5. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in..
6. A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted,
"Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't, I've cut your arms off".
7. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a muscle.
8. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it.
9. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself.
10. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it."

objects.
