Mechanics lessons used to become so boring that sleep did not even get me far enough away from the classroom. I had a 2-3 week period where I spent more of the lesson time that was meant to be in the classroom in my own bed back at house, of coarse this was all accidental. honestly though, I did not...

i was also one of the group who went up on st mathews day (05). it was a great day, apart from the rain. i will rember it, not because of the free entry, but because at the time i was carying the bags for 3 people and they were doing bag checks at the entrance to check we were not terorists! the man...

hey marty, since you have done this type of archaeology coursework before, can you tell me what type of practical investigation you did? I have gone down to the station, and looked at the "old yard", and gone to look at the guildford line. However, i do not know how to classify this type o...

So I guess that the scaffolding is there so they can knock holes in the sides of the tower to remove the pieces of the tanks as they cut them up. half of me agrees with this but common sense say take the tanks out from the inside to prevent having to put holes in building. so i am unsure of quite w...

as far as i knew the tanks were lead lined and they were taken out of use because of a worry of legionares desiese (unsure of spelling) and obviously because of the lead. i believe that the steel supports are pulling severely on the inside of the building and are causing some quite serious damage. i...

i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me collect some information for an archaeology coursework. Can anyone tell me when the excess platforms were demolished after the Beeching cuts? does anyone have interesting facts or information about the old station? Does anyone have any photographs o...

All deliveries go via security anyway - and it`s normal to notify them if a delivery is expected. The "guards" do question anyone they consider to be an "unauthorised" visitor - my father was stopped recently while walking our dog - quite amusing because they recognise his car n...

we no longer have a workshop as we got kicked out of the grecians mock up in the fives courts. this has resulted in me having tools and bike bits strewn across my room which does not please matron or the cleaners very much. this means that it would be hard to set up a group again and there could be ...

this is the same one but recently (last year) mr robinson stopped doing the model railway. at around the same time he ended the bicycle repair group as well, of which i was highly involved, this has been bad for the school as there is no longer a team of people to repair bicycles but there is only m...

if it is truly to keep people off site, which i do agree with, why then are they allowed on site as normal over the weekend? they still have same opportunities to get on to site and into pods at the weekend as they did before therefore this measure has not helped solve problems. as to the pizzas, th...

talking of a proper security there are a few changes happening in that area. the first of which (FROM THE GRAPEVINE) is that the current head of security is leaving before the end of the year!! the second of which is that we are no longer allowed to order any food on to the site during the week, thi...

the undoing of the cuff buttons still applies, none is a monitor, one is both academic and monitor and both is just academic. there is no school cat as far as i am aware, (modern days therefroe no mice (i wish!)!) from what i was told by the museum on my second form the yellow was not for rats, as t...

this is a normal 00 gauge railway. the one built by the head of the manual school is in a local school. i can not remember the name of this school but i will find out for you tomorrow. i have riddden on said railway 2 times now as i have gone, as a community service co-ordinater, to help out at thei...

the model railway is still behind the DT school, and all of the contents are still there (such as the clock and sign) since 2004 though it has not functioned as there has been no member of staff willing to run it. now needed due to health and safety etc. so it has all sat there unused for over a yea...
