She by the way is an all A grade student... the national curriculum what a roaring success! However she can have four simulatneous text conversations on the go, be tweeting about how crap her life is with such retarded parents and be watching OH My God not another Reality Show about Pillocks all at the same timeFurtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-42395167247419113332012-03-05T18:51:39.597+13:002012-03-05T18:51:39.597+13:00Shackleford_Hurtmore: Ahhh.

It was great. Hard yakka but great and character building especially the tramp up Mt Holdsworth. I was alot fitter back then too. My daughter's teacher was ex-army and he had a very good old fashioned disciplinarian way of dealing with the young lads in particular (like getting them up at 6am for a 5km run before breakfast).Valley Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-47647040474756558602012-03-05T10:16:56.642+13:002012-03-05T10:16:56.642+13:00Don't knock a good grounding in colouring in.....Don't knock a good grounding in colouring in... it appears to be the only skill that anyone in our Marketing department has...Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01962931483973457516noreply@blogger.com
