Get up, get showered, get into 'daisy', turn key and all I get is clicks. Turn off ignition to roll a cig and calm down to have a think and the damned alarm arms itself and goes off. Turn ignition back on and she starts first turn of the key this time. All is now honkey dory except for the niggle in the back of my mind that something isnt right.

Drive 2 miles down the road (A4123) and the traffic is stopped!!!! Only movement is from traffic in the right hand lane doing U turns. I turn right at the gap rather than do a u turn as I know the estate. Pull over to make a phone call to let the school know I am going to be late so they can get a cover teacher in to take care of my form. I had forgoten to pick the phone up. I ended up getting to school 1 minute before the bell having covered 12 miles (I normaly only have to do 6) which had taken me 70 mins instead of the normal 15-20 mins to do 6. OK so I am rushed and flustered and hadnt had my morning coffee and I find out I have got a cover lesson to do period 1 which is a really badly behaved group of year 9s. Hard work that one. Period 2, year 10s, I get threatened twice by the same lad. Once he threatens me that his dad will pay me a visit  :roll:  the second time he is going to make a complaint because he said I had said to him "I will rip your f****ing head off". My crime for this was stopping him from looking at pornographic websites when he was supposed to be doing coursework. Oh well, such is life.
Apart from having to console a distraute 55 year old female teacher who was in floods of tears because of the treatment she got from a class of year 8s the rest of the day went well. until home time.

Returning on the A4123 (which has reopened) I am tootling along at 40mph, traffic lights had just turned to green in front of me so there was no need to slow down as they wernt going to change any time soon and suddenly there is a police car in front of me turning right into my lane (to go the same direction as me if u catch my drift). No lights, no siren and he was going way too fast (well I assum he over cooked it has he was heading towards me sideways). I still do not know how I missed him (or him me). At this point he decided to put his blues and 2s on (bit late thinks I) and shot off into the distance. Round the next corner he is waiting at a set of red lights.
Next island is nearly impassable due to police cars and men in black all over the place.  Finaly got home and cracked open a beer and boy does it taste good.

Hey I had more fun and felt safer doing riot control in Belfast back in the seventies, at least we had batons flak jackets, baton guns and rifles :wink:

MuddyMary:

Got any surplus????

Mary ... its not all bad and I probably make it sound worse than it is (teachers allways whinge dont forget  :lol: ) A lot of the kids are genuinly nice but some are real nasty peices of work ... a lot like the adults they will grow up into.

Bush Tucker Man:
At least if we get the idiots (aggresive/drunk or otherwise) we Can get them removed either by Security or the Police.
If they persist in returning they are banned from the grounds unless requiring emergency treatment (as seen fit by us)

Big 4-cell 'Mag-Lites' under the counter help as well :D  :wink:
I was only joking about that. Honest! (sadly)
