I am worried Duncan the writer has written this off the back of all our tweets as he follows so many of us!!! Lol

The writer actually follows a lot of you Tweeters? Is that right?

orphan · 02/09/2015 16:37

Blimey, I'm exhausted and there aren't even any students yet. The main fact I learnt today was just how young everyone else is! I assumed TAs would be haggard old crones middle aged like me, but they all seem to be nubile young things who look barely older than my son.

The cougar in me did spot, however, a rather gorgeous young male teacher. Don't know what department he is but during a rather longwinded presentation, my laser eyes gaze did happen to strip him naked drift towards him now and again.

orphan · 02/09/2015 16:41

Of course I'm expecting to have a wonderful romance à la Learning the Ropes. I've been practising my boating terminology in readiness.

KellyHb · 02/09/2015 16:55

Love it orph. You'll have to give us a regular update as to this looovely sounding teacher. You'll have to ask if he'll show you his boom cover and see what be says. Grin. But glad your first day went alright. Smile

pixieg1rl · 02/09/2015 16:56

If he's the PE teacher you've got the perfect excuse to ask him to show you his equipment

orphan · 02/09/2015 17:00

Yes indeed kelly and of course I'll be holding nipper responsible if I don't get to swab his decks cos the only reason I took a job in a school was to live out her storyline.

orphan · 02/09/2015 17:01

Well I'm hoping to see him in some rugby shorts pixie. Do you think it would be too forward of me to take him in a pair tomorrow?

KellyHb · 02/09/2015 17:03

I'll be living out the storyline through you orph so the pressure's on. Wink

pixieg1rl · 02/09/2015 17:32

Talk of men in shorts and equipment reminds me that DS starts back at gymnastics on Friday. Grin

KellyHb · 02/09/2015 17:38

I wonder if the nice looking man you saw at gymnastics will still be there pix??

Yey! DH is picking up a takeaway on the way home from work!! Tidy. Smile

moojangles · 02/09/2015 17:52

Just watching now ice (bit behind) ... it has put me off coconut though, although I do now fancy ice cream (just not coconut ice cream!!)

icemistOBE · 02/09/2015 21:58

Yes, I'll pass on the coconut and peanut butter ice cream.

I'm enjoying reading back over the old threads. We really dissected every look and word spoken Grin

Evening.

Had to nip to Tesco this evening as they had a winter coat for DD that I was after.

I'm going to finish reading the first thread tonight. It is sooo funny. Grin

KellyHb · 02/09/2015 23:01

I think some of the names of the people on the thread are hilarious too.

MaddieMoo82 · 02/09/2015 23:08

KellyHb · 02/09/2015 23:14

Thanks Maddie. It took days for me to write it when I had a spare minute. Confused

Ilovelblue · 02/09/2015 23:37

Evening all. Very late tonight as I was at a retirement party straight after work. The guy actually went about three weeks ago but because it was peak holiday season, he decided to have an evening out tonight instead for a select group! Not exactly sure why I was invited but hey! It was actually quite nice and because everyone was driving home, apart from the man himself as he was being given a lift to and from the restaurant, nobody was drinking and it was pleasant without getting rowdy. We did lots of "Do you remember....?" and general reminiscences from tales over the years.

I had an eye candy moment today as well when I was doing somebody's induction. There were three of them in fact but only one caught my eye. I found myself delivering my usual chat and blurb just to him and ignoring the other two.

I also had a strange situation in work where a guy I had never seen before in my life came up to me and started talking at me, more or less demanding stuff. Eventually he introduced himself and I just knew he was ex-Forces. Yep, ex-RAF he turned out to be, I am usually very good at picking them out. I'm sorry to say ladies that he was very arrogant, obviously a chauvinist and was more or less demonstrating the characteristics from CJ in episode one. Sadly, he looked nothing like him - old(ish), sallow skin and a bit wrinkly. He barked something at me and I just looked and said "What's the magic word?" He did at least have the grace to look slightly embarrassed when he muttered "Please". I wouldn't care but he is nothing to do with the area in which I work so he can get stuffed. Turns out he was a project manager (with delusions of grandeur, he ain't in the RAF now)! Somebody overheard me and said "Well done, I'd have treated him just the same".
