But I rather like listening to music that's of a particular period and sounds like it - a nostalgia thing I suppose. Does Paul McCartney get a cut? I suppose he need his fortune topping up after his divorce :D

Reading on PR that Flake was nearly arrested by the police, and nearly had her camera seized.  ::)

Why  ???.........presumably for attempting to impersonate a photographer  ;) :)

My apologies, it's been a long day.....It's OK, I'll get my own coat  :-[
Oh Lord, please help me to be the person that my dog thinks I am.

The Attorney General who helped draft the law against employing illegal immigrants, has been employing one for 6 months. Now, as ignorance of the employees status is apparantly not an excuse, will she face prosecution or, as expected, will excuses be made and accepted :doh:

Interesting.  I went to an all boys school (probably explains a lot) but the way we were "encouraged" to do PE was "go to PE".  I mean of course it was backed with threats of physical violence but unless you wanted to take the whole day off then I don't think people seriously considered not doing it.

I guess it was the same way we were "encouraged" to do maths and English.
It's Guest's round

Mmmm - don't think we'd have got much in the way of hair straighteners if we refused to do PE in the far off days when I was at school ::)

All boys school myself, as you say Jonathon may explain a lot!

Every boy in the school was entered in the annual boxing tournament, the only excuse was a note from a parent, and who could face the humiliation of that? I've seen more re-enactions of that Charlie Chaplin film where he's in the ring with a bruiser than I care to mention.
Don't know about hair straighteners, I could have done with a nose straightener a few times. :-[

Our PE teacher, an ex- Gosforth Rugby Union player, spent PE / Games lessons in the staff room supping coffee whilst we went on cross country runs. A few of us found a way to avoid the run was to stop off in a shed (used primarily as a manure dump) and play cards until the rest came back from the run and join in for the last bit. When we got caught - was it the smell I wonder - our punishment was to each don a set of boxing gloves and take the teacher on. I was 4ft 10 then and it was a short bout before I was spitting out blood through a burst lip. As I strode off to go home and report him I did get something of an apology but it would not happen now. Mind you if I had got home and told my mum and dad would have backed him up!

When I was in school there was girl in class who was allergic to everything under the sun, had to carry one of those epipens and that was back before anyone knew what they were and for. Even she didn't get out of PE. I blame Dr. Spock for all this crap. While I think that the use of corporal punishment in those days was a bit overdone, we've gone too far the other way.

Just came back from a bit of shopping, while I was in the one store I heard this little old ladie explaining to the clerk how she was just out of hospital and needed to get this instant cereal mix. She explained how she instructed hubby to go get it while she was laid up and he, of course, had purchased the wrong item. Then I leave the store and just outside I see this little old man sitting in a car waiting and I can just tell by the look on his face that he's still recovering from a tongue lashing.  :2funny: :2funny:
