Head accused me of running over a child foot and swearing at him!

We recently moved from a naice area - to a rural hick town (it's a dump) think quiet little redneck mountain town. I've three kids and my eldest is 13. 13 years of school runs ... I've a pgce. I've made successful decisions and don't work as I'm comfortable. I send my children to state schools as I attended a top 20 state school. But the standards today are woeful. Think nits and threadworm. Yesterday morning the head said I'd run over a child called Harry and sworn at him. (Eh? Come again love). Shes a hopeless head. Doesn't speak to or interact with children. Would you make a complaint?

Never been treated like dirt before. =( would u send children to a decent prep school?

I’ve looked at every fourth letter but it’s not spelling out English words so am none the wiser. Only other thing I can call upon here is very rusty Pitmans shorthand which I last used in the early ‘80s but that’s still not helping

MrMeSeeks · 24/01/2019 23:46

What!!!

Well if you are working as a secretary in Kirby Stephen you probably haven't had much time to practice, what with also perfecting the Karma Sutra.

RedForShort · 24/01/2019 23:53

It's because you forgot to translate it into Japanese then Dutch then English then Afrikaans then back again. (All in Google translate.)

Bollocks (or undercarriage). I am still using babelfish, google hasn't really caught on in areas that don't have Waitrose.

Pyotrkrolik · 24/01/2019 23:56

What do you mean my post doesn’t make any sense? FevertreeAnd that question was actually quite rude? Did you mean to be so rude?

FevertreeLight · 25/01/2019 00:00

Did you mean to be so rude?

Sorry. I was decoding what you had written. I had forgotten that we were using the naice translation tool and not the redneck one.

LoisWilkerson1 · 25/01/2019 00:04

Oh fuck off.

FevertreeLight · 25/01/2019 00:05

Oh fuck off.

Do you live in Kirby Stephen?

LoisWilkerson1 · 25/01/2019 00:10

No I don't live there but I have a pdgcebt Halo

WingsofNylon · 25/01/2019 00:12

Clearly I've made all the unsuccessful decisions in life.

I don't live in a hick mountain town, I've never run over Harry, I can use English correctly and my anus doesn't itch one bit.

OP, could you please become my life coach?

Urwotu8t · 25/01/2019 00:12

How do you accidentally become a pump?

Urwotu8t · 25/01/2019 00:13

Pimp, not pump. I have the world's most prudish auto correct.

This is MN as it used to be when all this were fields!

Ah in years gone by, spies had to put adverts in the classifieds of local newspapers to report back. Now everything is online they are using AIBU.
In translation, op, aka the spy, has landed in the mountainous region of Afghanistan. They had no trouble getting there (“successful decisions”) and the three in their unit are fine. The eldest one, codename Eldest,13 is an experienced spy and has been making these ahem “school runs” for 13 years. Conditions are poor, “nits” and threadworm” mean rations are low, and the spies are low on bog roll. But the option to send them to prep school (move the unit to a more secure area) is there so things are not terrible. Harry’s foot is code for The enemy and Headmaster is the unit commander getting cross with the spies for not turning up on the day the enemy was to be flattened.
OP listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.....591 Eagle 5 over. Proceed with caution. The Headmaster is a double agent. Repeat double agent. Suggest moving to rendezvous point with fat wives who will give you the next instructions. Do not, repeat, do not trust the secretaries. They are Russians trying to infiltrate the operation. Over and out.

You need to try and skip the Singaporean step , try running it through Thailand instead.

FevertreeLight · 25/01/2019 00:23

Spies- of course , make sense. I attended a top 20 state school is that code for Cambridge or Eton?

Raffleeight · 25/01/2019 00:24

Drink a big glass of water and go to bed dear.

MyfanwyMontez · 25/01/2019 00:24

Have I accidentally wandered into The Twilight Zone? It’s very surreal.
I am missing something?

Atchiclees · 25/01/2019 00:25

I think so Fever. Eton then Cambridge most likely. Grin

4th letter then translate it into Japanese then Dutch then English then Afrikaans then back again. (All in Google translate.)
