To have bought ds's teacher a giant kestrel?

[SilverLining17]

I mean at least she won't get a duplicate and it make a change from 'best teacher' mugs?!

Asked ds what she liked - gardening apparently. DS's class is kestrel class so aha I thought. A little kestrel ornament for the garden. Except it is not little. No no. It is a gigantic genetically modified kestrel. Maybe she can put it at the bottom of the garden so it looks smaller?!

Hideously hilarious!!!!

It's the perfect name for him isn't it?

adopts wind fucker into every day language

He's a right wind fucker!

can'tstandmeow I your toucan called Bobby Brown?

Krampus was a demon I think. That would suit him.

I am struggling for gifts for DCs teachers this year and was going to do something crap like amazon vouchers, but now I know that what I really need is a big fuck-off kestrel garden ornament called wind-fucker. Thank God for MN.

Have you settled on a hat, a monocle or a mini bottle of (strong) booze for the accesories OP?

I am a teacher. This would utterly make my day.

What is Kenneth made of?

I have a metal chicken and a metal Guinea Fowl of a similar ilk.

I love it! If I was a teacher I'd appreciate that so much more than a mug or some other cliché gift! If she doesn't like it, you can pass it on to me

This made me smile even if you teachers doesn't.. I am a little sad my son's class is simply known by the teachers name.

Is it sad that wind fucker has made my trivia loving day? This beats every useless nugget of intelligentsia my pub quiz coworker has ever dropped 'casually' into conversation and I can't bloody wait to silence him with it.
I take back everything I said about Kenneth being horrendous, it was pure sour grapes, he's a wondrous and fabulous specimen of avian yard art magnificence.

I have wind fucker Kestrel envy.

Avian yard art

Wind-fucker is metal. He's a conversation piece.

Mind you, OP, you do realise all the other parents, this year and for generations to come, are going to hate you with a fiery passion for raising the teacher present bar to such impossible heights?

""Children - here is our new class mascot, Wind-fucker the Kestrel of Doom"

Oh my goodness that made me laugh.

Not Bobby Brown, but it makes me happy that he has a twin out there somewhere

I can just imagine that "chanting greetings by rote" thing that classes do hopefully not just our old schools

"Good morning children"
"Good morning Mr Teacher and Good Morning Wind Fucker The Kestrel of Doom"

This is my favourite thread of the year so far. Even if no one else is making references to The Birds

If he's getting a monacle he needs a barony.

Sir Kittering Kestrel or similar.

Omg I missed Wind Fucker!!!

Sir Kitterring Windfucker, Kestrel of Doom

That present is ace!!!!! What a fab idea! I think I want one!!!!

Oh that is brilliant! If I were a teacher that would make my year!

This is one of the best things I have ever read..:
