Myself, I had an idea of what it meant, but I had to look it up to make sure I was right.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-46826022368147500292011-12-04T13:04:22.758+13:002011-12-04T13:04:22.758+13:00TSB so sad to har Dancing Bear is taking away one ...TSB so sad to har Dancing Bear is taking away one of your MU's. Bastard! After all you hard work this year I would give you a BONUS!<br />I think I should send up another bottle of whisky to u. It makes me sick to know they have done this to you. And BTW I had all my classes in different rooms at NHLS from one end of the campus to the other, and I never complained once! Why is it that experienced staff get so damm Terriitorial?? <br /><br />Have noticed this at several schools I have worked in and find it highly unprofessional.<br /><br />Spennt a lovely afternoon at the races yesterday with hudbby's work crows and we had our own tent by the birdcage. Good fun and nice to talk to people other than teens and teachers. Even came out ahead in thte bettign stakes. So untraditioanlyy christmasy for a work do. Was a refreshing delight.<br />Also watched the HIBS boys playing crcket in the middle of the track as that is also their sports ground.

Yes I do miss the scenery, but as I'm typing this at 8:30 at night, wearing a T shirt and shorts, I DO NOT miss the Scottish climate.<br /><br />I also let my lovely and beloved daughter in Scotland, and 13,000 miles is a very long way.<br /><br />The Balvenie doesn't seem to appear on a ny list over here, but a bottle of Laphroig on normal sale is about $120 (about £60)<br /><br />P.S. I still dream about a good haggis, neeps and tatties.<br /><br />Alistair: Yes, you're right, it was a crap end to the week. AND I've run out of sigle malts, but Grouse is on 2 litres for $60 special (about £15 a litre bottle)so I'll probaly anesthetise myself over Saturday and Sunday. They might make the extra $4000 back next year,but I wouldn't bet on it.<br /><br />TWG: I was tmpted, but ETHNIC prioities overrule most other prioities.
