new term

[guymark]

Greetings & Salutations Cov & Cherry - and a few others - including newbies too I see.

Well, new to me anyway.

Just thought I would pop in and say hi.

Discussions of new term eh? Hmm, that used to instil dread into me when I was younger. Not from any fear of corporal punishment - it had all but died out even then - but just the dreadful drudge of a six day week (yes Saturdays too, bastards). That and playing games in the sleet, wearing navy blue shorts with no undergarments. I remember the first day I experienced that fresh new hell. I was singularly unimpressed.

Actually I was a bit hard to please I suppose as endless marching in the CCF on Friday afternoons didn't float my boat much either - until I was transferred to hovercraft section - enormous fun.



I'm waffling - but it's late and my mind has just gone for tea and biscuits and left my fingers typing unsupervised. Sorry about that, I'll remonstrate with it upon its return.

Sort of back on topic, with "terms" and - by extension - schools, I read recently that the school which Kipling attended (United Service College in Devon) used to use the cane - but on the upper back and not the arse. I know it wouldn't work for most folks, but that would have been my dream school. "Rewarded for being naughty with a striped back" how fab would that be.

Anyway, I mustn't ramble (at least not more than I have already indulged myself in), so will potter off - just spotted the time too - and catch you good folks soon.

ciao4now.

Hugs or what you will

I knew that it was too much to hope for- that your absence was only temporary and not permanent! I should have made the most of the silence! Please don't tell me that your laptop is repaired!

Yes! You should have! Plus, you mean to say you haven't missed me? Are you mad?!

You will be relieved to hear that my laptop is still knackered - I have found a temporary means of logging on....heh heh heh!

Hi Guymark - nice to see a friendly face around here for a change! *Pokes toungue out at Covspank*

*Runs off laughing*

I see that your spelling hasn't improved during your absence - it's your TONGUE that you are sticking out! As you run away,let's hope that you don't trip over the foot that I am sticking out! In answer to your questions - No, I haven't and No, I'm not!!!

TDH

Aw Sir, that was a typo!! Whereas I do apologise for such a careless error, may I point out that we all can't be as perfect as you!

I do hope you are sitting down as I am pleased to inform you that my lappy is fixed! Heh heh heh!!

"May I point out that we can't all be as perfect as you...". Yes, of course you can - but for who's benefit? Mine? Not necessary, as I already know!! I should really change my name to Mary Poppins!!
However, just when you think that things can't get worse-Spending Review; Government Cuts; Mass Unemployment - you have to announce that your laptop is repaired!! Where's the gin?!
TDH

That's the Tories for ya! *Hands Cov a double G&T* Life ain't that bad...cheer up, Mary! Spoonful of sugar and all that!

I've heard of this ploy of waiting until something awful happens before making an announcement, in the hope that it will get buried. I've got to hand it to the ConDems - making their announcements in the week you choose to tell us that you laptop is repaired has worked for me! Forget the tonic - just make it a double G!! At the moment I'm just trying to think of my favourite things - or is that another film??
TDH

That's The Sound of Music I believe, Sir...*hands Cov the whole bottle of gin.*

As you can see, I've already made a "habit" of winding you up but I know that you will have "nun" of it....*giggles*

I'll drink to that! *clinks glasses*

Hic!
