See Mrs C it worked, we found you and we're talking to you (I know, took me a while...)

you have to talk to other people though - not just me!!!

Just watched lunch parade. Can anyone please tell me why it is that those who don`t really concentrate on marching, march reasonably well, but those who concentrate really, really hard ,(mainly boys, I may add!), end up doing a "spotty dog" march! There are still lots of squits- sorry, second form,...and some older members of the school , who manage to march like this!!

and how come my " just watch" didn`t get censored, when Ruth and Matts "didn`t watch" did??

After a while you don't need to think about it Mrs C. At first you are so keen to fit in that you over do everything, marching included. By the time you leave, you honestly don't care what you look like.

but "spotty dog" is so hard to do! a bit like patting head and rubbig tummy at same time.

It's something very much like that Matt.

One of the original TV puppet programmes, strings and all. Very amateurish, in the 'Muffin the Mule' ilk. (Now tell me you've never seen 'Muffin the Mule', and no jokes about getting 6 months for doing it !!)

The Wooden tops, what a cracking tv programme. Either that or a joke about the Guards division
