rejoice in the wisdom of the Goblin

[Goblinchild]

Oh Best Beloveds, did I not say that as soon as the term started, much of the pointless and simplistic twitterings of the masses about SN would cease, and the threads of 'Annabellissimma's already finished War And Peace in the original, but has been given Horrid Henry as her text' would start?
Along with PE, Table setting and friendship issues?

I'm going to set myself up in a booth on Brighton beach,
'Goblinchild Sees All. Know the Future for 6d'

. or in the run up to Xmas present season, imagine tin of

Lol...goblinchild the other forums are scary places I will take your word for it and stay here safe if you don't mind

I will take your and dunk it in my mug of gin, Whilst I look at my pile of APP paperwork and grind my gnashers.
I may be somewhat inebriated, but my spelling appears uncompromised.

I only ever stray as far as the camping threads anyway these days. It's a bit like the school playground isn't it?..you scout out the possible allies...look for the person lingering near the railings with that same look of horror on her face that you have on yours. Bingo

pass the gin!

No, shan't.
It's all mine, and when you hold the bottle up to the light, it's a beautiful shade of blue.
Need more lemons though.

:o

I need the wisdom of goblinginchild..
Tell me oh goblin...secondary school will get better won't it.. ( we had a cracking start that is now.. Well... Cracking at the seems)..

Or at least share the bloody gin woman !

Ha ha Goblin - you're so right. Can you see tomorrow's Lotto numbers?

I've only got mugs you know, so your gin will be a halfpint.
Yes it will get better in secondary. They spend the first term disbelieving everything you tell them, then there are a few umm kinetic encounters with the occasional bit of furniture involved, then you get proactive when they decide on exclusions and then they start working with you and it all comes up roses with nice teachers being lovely and flexible and adaptable for your boy.
Or it did in our case.

What's Lotto?
Is it like Blotto?
I'm on a course tomorrow, so I can have a little snooze in the corner provided I don't snore.

< chinks mugs with goblin>

that made me actually in RL LOL.. We had a kinetic encounter today!

This was after being not overly believed by new SENco when I told him he needs to put in exit cards and other stratagies as stated by EP and camhs behavioural therapist and myself.. His reply was " ds2 hasn't exploded yet and so hadn't come to my attention.. " oh and then basically said he hasn't read the farming reports etc... < swigs gin>.

( I got a bit tough at those comments).

I did tell him .. Ds will hit someone if you don't ..( I prefer kinetic encounter)

can I say told you so? Can I .. Can I?

I have a whole new school to train up grrrr

Farking.. Reports.. Not farming.. Although we kinda rural! :)

LOL @ Goblin. Post holiday hysteria by the sound of it.

I'm not hysterical WA, I'm three sheets to the wind and cruising nicely thank you.
Where have you been all this while?
Arsenic, give them a list of bullet points in simple language, detailing how they should cope with your DS and specific strategies to use.
I emailed one to all of DS's teachers.
Then when I got summonsed because the excrement had hit the electrical appliance, I pointed to the key passage and said ' I told you so'

Cracking advice goblin.. Will do that first thing in the morning. Thank you :)

Ah - glad to hear you're just pissed and not pyschotic.

I'm always here lurking unless I'm away on holiday.

Are you swanking about cruises again?
How's your boy?

Nah - coah trips!

He's fine - getting a lot better. How's yours getting on - still planning to dig up the past when he's older?

Lucky you on a course tomorrow - you can sleep through the Powerpoint presentations

It's the way that they do a powerpoint and then give you a printout of the powerpoint and then Read the bloody powerpoint out very slowly.

Yes, he's still digging. I keep pointing out that an engineer is a digger too and makes a lot more cash than an archaeologist, but no luck so far. His heart is in the far distant past.

and there's me sitting here going 'oh bugger, no-one asked me for farming reports...'

goblin - can you tell me what will happen to dd2's new teacher who told me she was a lovely girl and patted me on the arm as she turned around and waltzed off down the corridor today?

enjoy death by powerpoint - i'd take the gin in an evian bottle if i were you.

Ah the old professional development courses, listening to them reading out the powerpoint slides, trying to stay awake, trying not to shout 'what IS the point of this then?'.

Mind you, what's worse is the 'get together in pairs and discuss this' thing. Butt clenchingly embarassing. 'Cascading ideas'

I'm so glad my head doesn't seem to let me go on courses.. (even the free APP ones)

ohhhhh, and there'll be an 'icebreaker' activity to look forward to...

Just about to leave.
If they break out the big markers and A2 paper for us to group share our ideas I may not be quite responsible for my actions.
I may have to play my
'How many new buzz words can I invent that no one spots as false' game. That's always fun.
