Well it's different I'll give them that

In case you haven't heard there's a reality show on british TV called " Britains got talent" and as you may have guessed it's a talent show. As you can imagine theres quite a few 'novel acts' but one which wil lbe appearing in the latest series is stranger then most. The act consists of a women reading shakespeare whilst get spanked. Yes you read that correctly. Quite how that classifies as a talent is anyones guess. Is she showing off her amazing powers of focus or her tremendous multi tasking abilities. You decide!

Well works over for another week not before it bought a day with the usual array of the normal, not so normal and a little bit crazy.

Election update! Still bored, still don't care about anything they have to say last minute. My minds already made up, roll on May 6th!

Speaking of the government they have apparently issued new guidelines to teachers to help them "identify" pupils from poor families or " Disadvantaged" families to use the PC term. Among the list of charactertics to look out for are;

• a lack of resilance
• hide their emotions
• place a 'lid' on aspirations
• be concerned about the here and now
• feel different
• mistrust authority
• seem to be resentful or alienated
• think that they are misunderstood
• lack self esteem or self confidence
• not readily ask for help
• not easily identify with the dominant culture and ethos of the school
• feel ignored shunned, ignored or demeaned by their peers.

Now I'm choosing to assume that this list only applies to primary schools as lets fact it everyone of those characteristics would be considered "normal" in a teenager!

Anyway, it's supposed to be a very nice, sunny and hot weekend and I intend to enjoy it.

Later folks!
