The Virtual Lounge

[Anonymous]

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

He is aiming to do a specialised business and accountancy degree. Limited universities offer this particular course....oh just hurry up and let me know...

[Beenherebefore]

I don't mean just now.........for the last probably 15 years exam results and university places have been hyped to a massive extent putting pressure and stress on pupils (yes pupils not "students") and schools (yes schools not "academies")

Oh look what's on Sky News........tell me, why does it deserve live broadcast from a school ?

[Glory1]

That's a question I've asked myself for years. It's only of personal interest to the pupils and parents awaiting the results.

Yeah but everything has to be shared with everyone these days, regardless of any interest to others.
Good luck to Ben, but I'm sure he won't need it

I told my grandson not to watch BBC News as they were covering it as well...

I always feel sad for those students who open the envelope and don't get the results they want...(with the cameras trained on their poor faces...) Thankfully no news channels will be at King Edward 6th form college....:smileywink:

It's the schools that create the pressure by allowing TV cameras onto their premises !!!

I don't and never will share anything that I don't wish to share.

Again pressure at a young age to go on Facebook and share everything and anything.

Just going to put this here....(Grandma is allowed to brag)
