twotd:teechers

today was an average day. first was RE with bevan (because as usual dr walker was unavailable/not there/sick/ couldnt be bothered to teach us). then chemistry where we bantered on about an experiment we did to make chlorine gas. then drama with none other than mr scammel himself. it was going as drama always did then suddenly....... the fire bell rang, we looked at each other in shock and shear horror, looked at scammel, then each other, then scammel, then each other....... then he goes "oh arse" and we depart for the new playground then we were back and the day continued.

....but in the afternoon there was house music, and the most surprising thing was...... tindal came last and.......... chris roberts was doing some sound thing on some raised thing behind us. and then someone took some persons saxaphone which was obviously sabotage so were were destined to come third......

........and to round the day off i went with bugg, jack and harris to see teechers in the civic theatre. teechers was the strangest play i have ever seen. there were three people all playing different characters which was just plain strange. though it must be said it was quite impressive if at points the story didnt quite make sense......

twotd: gangster

.....first there was art where (again) wiltshire had a go at us for some unknown reason and then we were given a letter for sum tate britain trip which had two different prices, which was stupid.....

.....then there was french. need i say anymore?......

....then drama, which is decent and sum what fun. we were performing our "night out" pieces. first was harriseseses group, which to be honest were not very good. then our group in which we skipped most of our lines and our performance was ok. scammel told me that i shouldnt play gansters because "you're a nice boy."........

.......then after lunch there was a celebration of mary berry's life which included a rendition of jerusalem (just like on the bus but we got to sing all of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)......

.......then skl finished early and i walked past the drama notice board and noticed that on the house film competition notices there were the following groups: years 7 + 8, years 10 + 11, years 12 + 13, a slight problem with yr 9 not being able to enter. but scammel got me to add year 9 to the notices......

twotd: bitty

ill keep this short as today was rather low on the events side.....

......pretty boring day: physics test, maths, english presentations, maths and geo cover with our favourite cover teacher MR BUTT!!!!!!! halfway through i decided to say "bitty, bitty!!!" and he went "not now, bitty later, uve just had dessert." god help us, a teacher watching little britain.

......and guess wot was on tonight, little britain. it was a decent mainly because of the return of bitty, but "call me bubbles" was back, which must be said is sick. and mr man wanting a book on music in from the dates of summin like 1356 to 1390 with 306 pages. and andy and lou with andy stuck up a tree.......

twotd: HOUSE RUGBY

This is yet another SPECIAL EDITION blog:

.......the day started off pretty normal with ms wiltshire (art teacher) complaining about something pretty stupid, last week it was because we covered the table in black printing ink, this week it was that we were talking tooooo much.........

.......then in french there was a test in which i pretty much forgot all of the answers.......

.......and after lunch there was rugby!!!!!!.......

.......me being not the best in rugby was rejected and put in the reject group, although to be fair the holland reject group wasnt that full of people who should have been rejected. so while the good 'uns played "proper rugby" we were left to play rugby by ourselves as countries rather than teams which was stupid but let me do something odd which will be revealed later.....

.....so inspiration as holland are we were confident that we would not be that bad, so in the first match against strutt we were dominant from the beginning as within 5 mins i had the ball and was running side ways to the try line and turned and made a dash for it (gasp) and i scored (one of the best) a try. Only for mr roberts in his old age to disallow it as i had in fact gone over the line by about 10 metres and was on the next pitch, so after a few minutes of my pleading we were awarded a deserved try (scored by me!!!) as i said that he had made the try line unclear which he obviously didnt, then we scored many more a try with jared, alex, bugg and cook adding to the ever growing score......

......next was mildmay which to be honest were rubbish. we lead from the start and i made yet another run but as toby grimes was running towards me i decided to stop and run to the right of him instead of the left and i decided to pass it to bugg who missed the line, mildmay scored sum tries but as we thought we won by scoring more than them!!! then there was what could only be described as a bundle and toby and i had started yelling at each other which meant i could hardly speak for the next 5 mins.....

....finally it was probably one of the best teams tindal who i have to admit were good. we were winning at the start with a try, then i got the ball and shouted "for england we go like merry men!!!" which mr milligan found somewhat amusing and shouted "come on you merry men" but despite this encouragment we lost. he also found it funny that i had decided to run parallel to the try line with the rest of tindal following me until he shouted you are going the wrong way so i had to run for the line and i was tackled (obviously all his fault). then he asked me if i needed a map so i said "hm yes" and now he owes me a map of a rugby pitch.....

......however we did win the "proper rugby" and holland ended up victorious so it was back on the bus for a rendition of "Jerusalem" (luckily we had our hymn books) which i undoubtably led until mr milligan asked us to stop singing and to save it for assembly and my voice completely went:

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountain gree?
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!

(but then we were asked to stop and we regretfully stopped)

twotd:not much

....as you can see from THE WORD(S) OF THE DAY not much, not much happened today......

.......top gear was gd: a swiss car which turns into a hydrofoil, a discovery up a steep hill and a car which gets smaller at the touch of a button and what looks like could crush anyone in the back seats.....

.....and it is the last time you shall see this at the top of my blog:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a battle. An epic struggle of good against evil, in which good ultimately triumphed. But an even longer time ago, in that same far-away galaxy, that battle was just beginning, and the people who became intimately entwined with the freeing of the galaxy were only beginning to see the troubles that lay ahead.....

twotd: fireworks (again)

....today as like every other day for the last 5 weeks there has been the constant sound of explosions, well i guess peopel have to spend their hard earned cash some way....

....if any of you watched casualty you will have seen why it is a stupid idea to fill a backpack with fireworks and go and stand next to a bonfire (the words bang, whizz pop spring to mind).......

....following this i feel it is appropriate to remind you of the firework safety code: http://www.rospa.org.uk/homesafety/advice/fireworks/code.htm

twotd: fireworks

as uneventful days go this day was uneventful.....

.......it started off with mr birke fondly telling us that he believed that children were worthless and that it is much better economically for a child to be killed than for an adult.......

.......then in chemistry chris roberts was unable to find the chemical bournmouth which i correctly idenified as the noble gases in group 0 (not groups 6 and 7 chris!!!).........

......and then in tech we were using the strip heater (need i say anymore?) were i pratically ruined my work by making it melt and then i burn my finger on a very hot crocodile clip which wasnt meant to get that hot......

........and the americans are storming fallujah, how do i no? constant explosions every 5 seconds that i can hear from every room in the house, and because of the news.....

twotd: denmark

Todays blog is a special edition two day version, which includes a limited edition mousemat!!! If your mousemat is not attached to your version of the blog please notify the newsagent. Sooooo.....

......yesterday we made a mess of our table in the art block, by missing our lino prints and what could only be described as covering the nice clean tables in black printing ink (fun eh?).....

......and then in geography we watch KITTY tell us about the changes happening in Glasgow "They took the heart out of Glasgow" and sum new old lady telling us about "Fields of grass!!!" and as if that were not enuff we watched a man who told us about how once when he slept at night "masonary fell on me head" and his flat plagued with "the damp" and watched him physically stick his habd through the wall......

.......and then today we had the day off which was good......

.....and my dad went to denmark today to see if he can sell their army sum radios (www.baesystems.com download the film on the the bottom right).......

.....and i got sum new gouache paints.....

twotd: glasgow

the day started off pretty normal: wet, cold, damp, depressing, boring, wet, cold, chilly, wet.......

.....first off was physics which was quite, well, boring. we spent most of the lesson listening to birke and then he made us to a fun but useless experiment, dropping small balls into water and watching them fall. and then to end the lesson with a bang we knocked our glass measuring thing off the bench, well it should have been plastic......

........then in english we actually watched the most of the romeo and juliet dvd ever, a whole 30 minutes of it!!!!!!!! and it could actually be described as not that bad........

.....and to round the day off there was geography with none other than miss service (ok!!!) need i say more? but i might as well, we spent the first ten minutes "admiring our homework" then we had to copy summin down which she read tooooo fast and then i made a valid point that (in her words 5 mins beforehand) that an influx of foreign people could lead to problems in an inner city environment, which in all fairness is true. a nd finally we watching an old women recount her fond memories of "busy, warm and good" glaswegian streets in the 1960s after service had "considerable difficulty" getting the laptop to play the dvd........

twotd: weetabix

Some of you may be wondering why Weetabix is The Word Of The Day............

........in ccf there was sum rubbish competition and thurston and i won wot could only be described as the closest distance to the real distance and for our efforts we were rewarded with some Weetabix survival book (Weetabix Easy Reference Guide: Outdoor Pursuits)...........

.......and if anyone spent more than 5 mins with worthy you will have realised that hes getting a laptop (i could go on for ages but theres a time and a place and its not here)......
