Phew, ‘What would Seaman have done?’ post. Back on form, JR.

Will Jezza go down with his ship AND his red flag ?? One can only hope. No more or less than the Maybot will go down with her ship and her blue flag. Brexit aside, which party is more likely to deal with homelessness, food banks, inequality, sky-high rents, a dysfunctional social security system an...

Totally wasted. No other country seems to need them. What's special about them? You tell me - you’re the one trying to put words in our collective mouth by implying everybody on this site save you is in support of the public school system. Another flaw of yours, twisting a topic to a favourite agen...

Unless I've got this wrong I do seem to remember that Richard B left this site shortly after showing some exasperation with the flak he was getting, so perhaps I'm not the only one dishing it out on this site. Boarding schools and their supporters? As Alan Bennett observed in his BBC lecture: "...

You snotty, aggravating, pompous, insulting boarding school prigs drove him off the site in exasperation. If I’m to be labelled as insulting, I might as well enjoy myself... Your style on this site is bewildering; both leveraging and eschewing your scholastic past to the point that’s frankly bi-pol...

The question to address now is regarding Science Teaching in the 2020's and beyond - building on what might be viewed as a golden age of science teaching in the mid 20thC.

Really?

A situation devoutly to be desired, in my view. It might concentrate the minds of both sides if the EU or UN were patrolling the streets. That post is NOT helpful. I was home a few months ago and could well judge the mood about any influence from outside Stormont and London. It is still a city divi...

Don't forget that effectively Brussels is demanding that we give up sovereinty over Ulster which is what the RCs have been bloodily fighting for since 1925 or so. This could cause a bl**dy backlash from the Protestants and with Unster no longer under UK full legal control .......... Brussels would ...

I seem to recall that in the late 80's there was the idea of a CH satellite somewhere in the EU - an odd notion considering that at the time CH was investing prodigiously in things like the Sports Centre whilst sliding into further debt. Another wacky scheme from Poulton that was a further distracti...

I wonder if it would care to verify that fact?
