If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

hmmm interesting....(is it obvious I'm looking for a job)

onebat i empathise with your pre Christmas diomestic trauma

battery operated candles? What does the batter operate?

Yankee Candles for me - there's one that smells like Copperstone

she is called justabout Tinker and she morphs becoming justabout this that and the other according to her mood/need.

She is funny and has a good blog and another one about her other interests which include, er, god, being a vicar or summat.

cornsilk - advertised in local freebie newspaper, TES and also on the individual college webstes. Prison education is run by colleges not prisons. I was employed by The Manchester College (formerly City College Manchester) for example. They appear to run a lot of the northern prison eds.

i am cooking our turkey tomorrow.

because we have this cooker thing, and it's a right piece of shit.

it sucks royal dick.

the bottom is fan-assisted and i call it 'the flame thrower'.

it's that bad.

so i'm going to do the turkey tomorrow and then Xmas day the other stuff.

i like to hear the Queen's speech, because i always wonder which brooch she'll be wearing.

she has the best of all brooches in all the world.

and for all anyone slags her, she's one tough old bird and slag away she will probably outlive you fuckers.

i love expat! such a crazy life with - a veritable treasury of cautionary tales!

r o f l

at the op

and moldies lumped together with baby p and the mccanns

yes I DO keep noticing you banging on about my furry muff like PC Plum with Miss Hoolie

I do not have a furry muff

You can ask my gynaecologist my skating chums

So who is she???

Hula how did you get a teaching job in a prison? Where do they advertise? (nosy)

Then I will die far better than I expected, MP, laughing my ass off.

Quatto, it is equally good to 'see' you, too.

I hope you have delegated your Christmas cooking tasks, in the most polite manner, of course, and are looking forward to a good holiday.

lol but what happens if there's a giant EARTHQUAKE and all your battery operated candles fall in the bath and ELECTROCUTE YOU?

MP did you notice i was thinking about you ice skating yesterday and in my head you were Doris Day with a furry muff? I have been following you around all day trying to tell you.

Damn, twinset, don't do that anymore with real tealights!

I used to know a gal called Chantal Maudit. She was fun and like another person I knew, Monica, she was so inspiring to climb with.

But Chantal she died from carbon monoxide poising from unattended fire.

It's horrible.

However naff people say 'safe' tealights are they can go fuck themselves because unless you are going to guaranteed be in the same room they are the best!

And now you can even get short and tall pillar candles taht are battery-operated, the tall ones will run off rechargeable AA batteries for the environmentally-friendly, and even tapers that are safe.

Go there!

So worth it.

Nothing like a bath surrounded by safe 'candles', IMO.

Fire department came by one time when we were in our last flat and were most impressed .

yes but at least your children are not locked in the garden

Lo everyone. I've had a blissfully mould-free day. Good to see you Expat.

God I sound so pathetically middle class.

ooh, ooh, i mentioned you justa did you see my post? [crawl]

Onebat. 9 Hours? with shopping? How? This is all making me feel much better about my messy house and uncontrollable children so tell me more please.

lol why does no one recognise the rev? she's been around for yonks and everyone keeps saying WHO ARE YOU?

'sfunny

rev - who are you? I like your posting style but done't recognise your name Don't say if you don't want to.

That wasn't directed at you obv Onebat (cross-posts) but see we have different views.

I don't think, FWIW, fault finding is going to help at this point in time. I think the Moldies need to come back and they won't if we continually point out their moral weaknesses. Because most of the good guys made no 'choice' as such. Most just didn't think enough (surely?)

rev - I agree entirely. The secondary school I was in before the prison was definitely much much worse. Which is why I left to go to the prison! To be fair though, the first school I worked at was lovely.
