I'm sure I don't know what you mean!!!! I think she is a very good performer with an exceptional voice, who sing well crafted, deep and meaningful lyrics.

Studious..oh yes that's me

Exceptional voice? Hmmmmm

I'm sure, as a teacher, you've come across students who have done inexplicably silly things that defy common sense. Well yesterday I asked a team member to photocopy an instruction manual, he went away and copied it, but didn't think to keep it in order (the copy nor the original)! I spent the next 3 hours having to put it back into some kind of order - I was a bit annoyed and just a touch tetchy .

"VENT OVER"

However, today is a new day!

How are you?
How many songs have you learnt?

I only know bits and pieces. Part of the problem is that I only have two of her CD's and I could do with copying them onto tape so that I could listen to them on the way to work (all of 5 mins) - in fact I went to Leeds yesterday evening to do some very serious shopping - I could have listened to them then. doh

That would mean you had to read practically all of it - no wonder you were ****** off!

I have just received an email in my pigeon hole with some red writing from the Headmaster on the bottom. Quote "Just in case you're looking for the next stage...!" M
It's someone looking for people to go to Iraq

How am I? Just gave up a free double period to give extra help to one of my A Level Students. However, hugely enjoyable because she has a great intellect. Now onto marking Year9's excercise books - not quite so intellectual
In between? Writing reports...interviewing people...being harassed.
It was House Meeting this morning...I stepped forward to read out the notices...puts my specs on so that i could actually READ the words and got a huge laugh...one of the lenses had fallen out
So how is your day so far?

lol Did your lense falling out sum up your day?

So far today hasn't been too bad - a couple of meetings done, one more to go, a bit of project work, preparation for audit in August, send some e-mails, schedule a couple of meetings, tie up some ends and box of some issues.

Job done and we can all go home happy in the knowledge that ASDA have the best damn potatoes this side of M&S.

Serious shopping...anything nice (ASDA HQ is in Leeds..by the canal, near the rail station - useless fact number 1. ).

I know ASDA Head Office well!!

I'll explain later...I'm about to go home.

My daughter used to work at ASDA Head Office in H.R. She was responsible for Relocations. I've had several lunches there

Harvey Nichols were having a discount evening with cocktails and nibbles and music...so I went

I expect you'll be off to the pub to watch the match this evening

btw I used to live in Leeds

I think the head office is quite impressive, a lot better than most anyway!
Apparently Harvey Nicholls opening was the sign that showed Leeds had "made it" and become a city worth considering moving to! According to the London set (yuppies!!!!!)

I didn't go to the pub...too busy. Did watch the match (well, most).

I see you're getting more smileys in...have you been practising .

My smileys are all the same lol only two varieties.

I didn't have time...worked most of yesterday evening.

So...you're in with the London set...do you know MANY Yuppies?

Nooooo, don't know many Londoners, don't know any yuppies....mainly bacause they call everywhere outside London "the provinces"! . Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!

Apparently there was no crime in Peterboro until Londoners moved up! Find it hard to believe but that's what the locals say!

Rather innocent I think!

Who's innocent? You? lol

Did I say I used to live in London too? They used to joke about my accent...I would laugh and then joke about theirs

My son lives in London and has what might be termed Yuppie friends...nice people...I spent Jubilee night with some of them...ended up doing a last night of the proms act off someone's balcony in Docklands
Always fancied myself as a singer

lol Does Shania have competition?

You weren't kidding when you said you got itchy feet, then?
Where next (seaside, I think you said)....Redcar, Saltburn?

Now I KNOW you have a sense of humour

I'm afraid I can't match her uplifting performance

I am rapidly running out of time here...not helped by my ability to adopt the cornflakes packet syndrome at the drop of a hat

I will be going to watch Eastenders in a minute and then will be back on here to do some more reports before considering some rather serious cleaning before my visitor arrives on Sunday (an old friend from my time in Leeds)

I went to Harvey Nicks to get my face 'stuff'. Once a year they operate an evening for a/c customers whereby they operate a 'lucky dip'. At point of sale you pick a random chit out of a 'hat'...this entitles you to between 10% and 50% off the price ( You are guaranteed at least 10%) Sorry...pointless info there
Bye for now

Was it something I said?

Redcar and Saltburn aren't all that bad...honest

Sorry I haven't been on for a while...I've become the busiest man in the world At least, that's how it feels!

Work has gone up a notch or three...meetings, audits, meetings, project teams, briefings and yet more meetings. Got a promotion and a pay rise on Thursday...put a few noses out of joint as I've only been there 6 mths and some have worked there 10 yrs+. . Although I may loose my job if we fail the audit in 3 mths!

How's things with yourself?
How has Sunday been?

I used to go to Redcar every sunday with my friends when I was younger (around 14ish), I mention this for no real reason as I can't remember the attraction of the place!!!!

Speak to you soon

So do you have a 'title' oh illustrious one? And are you worth a lot of money now? :o)

I had a friend from Leeds up so we ate and talked and sunbathed etc.

If I remember rightly, Redcar has a pier? And surfers lol

I'm still not sure how you audit potatoes :o)

Do you have to balance out things like seeds and fertiliser etc against potatoes produced,production costs and wastage etc...perhaps other variables like that :o)

lol ...illustrious one, I like that!
The titles not changed, i'm still Technologist, on a bit more money but it's the responsibility that's increased really. Hopefully be technical Leader in 12-18 mths, then on to world domination and the title of Overlord of Potatoes shall truly be mine!!! .

I can't remember if there is a pier to be honest....but I do remember the 'surfers'!!!!

The audits we do are nothing like financial audits, it's all about compliance to written standard - policies, training documents, procedures, records (safety/quality/legality are the three watch words for everything we do). Not very sexy
