Welcome back Julius - good holiday? I've almost lost my voice - too much shouting at the referee who was diabolical on Saturday and then too much shouting at the kids who were diabolical yesterday. Bring back school term! Starts tomorrow fortunately.

Yep I've a few photos to process - wifeys on her hols soon so I' getting out the noisy (non MIDI) instruments. There are expensive music packages like Cubase/Logic Audio and Cakewalk but the cheap/free ones do jsut as well Cubasis/Fruityloops

Lee-now you know what we teachers have to put up with for the rest of the year and why we NEED our holidays! At least you only have 2 or 3 of your own. I've found out today my class totals 20 boys and only 8 girls. Back to reality with a bump. And someone who started 4 years after me has got a promotion of sorts though really I'm next in line. Was not a happy bunny! Did you see the news-dont think I'll be taking the north sea ferry to Amsterdam in December even though it is only £39 return including meals/cabin.

.......I might have cheered up by half term. Alex tell me a joke please...

kids back school today free a last .wife away on thursday let the good times roll only joking its going to be a long week ??tssy

I had planned a trip on a DFDS ferry later in the year but may make alternate plans. Hope all their meals aren't barbeques. Have a plane booked from Brussels later in the year for only 65p plus taxes. I take it the mouse was not a pet Julius, or wore clogs. Who's going to own up to having a mouse wearing clog song in their collection.

julius have posted the video today let me know when you get it ok hope you enjoy it .jacike can you send me you email thanks

What's got three legs and lives on a farm? The McCartney's!!

Somebody's been asking me thru the net how he can get one of the official t-shirts, red with white arrows.Anybody know?

Sorry Lee, I didn't get your message in time.Our first 3 points and fully deserved, I think we've started OK never mind what the so called 'experts' think.Our season started last Saturday and we won....bring on West Ham, my personal local derby.

A ferry in DECEMBER - no chance! Takes me back 20 years Hook of Holland back to Harwich overnight in a force 10 gale (or near enough anyway). Decided on a 'sick sweepstake' and the first casualty was hanging over the side before we'd even left the harbour! Nothing else for it but to stay in the bar all night and get completely wrecked (well that was my excuse). Wendy will remember this well if she's listening in. Think I'll stick with a flight if you don't mind, at least the agony is over quicker.

Jackie - maybe not by half term but by December it's guaranteed :)

A motorway walks into a pub one day. He goes up to the bar and orders himself a drink. He just sits down when in walks a strip of tarmac. The motorway sees the tarmac and starts to panic so he jumps over the bar and ducks down so it won't see him. The barman looks down at him and says, 'What's the matter with you? Why are you hiding? You've got six lanes and two hard shoulders. Why are you frightened of a piece of tarmac? The motorway replies, 'You don't know him like I do. He's a cyclepath.'

A Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scot go out to a pub and order 3 pints. They each find a fly floating on the top of their mugs. The Englishman says, 'Bartender, can I have a spoon?' and quietly removes the fly from his brew. The Irishman says, 'Get out of there!' and flicks the fly away with a finger. The Scot picks up the fly with his fingers and says, 'Alright ya wee bastard. Spit it out. Now!'
