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...

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...

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...
