Just you wait, Amy. Soon you'll be saying things like "He looks too young to be giving me an anaesthetic", or "Are they letting children into Parliament now?"
And I hope you have a good private pension scheme lined up that theiving Gordo can't get his hands on.

Ajarn Philip said my daughter was putting him off or something.
that is me enjoying a half of the black stuff in a pub in my home town on a visit about a year ago.

Re: Not sure if this is the place to ask...
Wow the open day was quite literally fab!! I saw Josh marching, and Idgie [noticed by the flaming hair!
] hanging around outside Big School, it was like being on a film set in some fashion, like you hear about people and places, and then POW you're there!
Marching was so cool, and I seem to have already had a bad influence on pupils [sorry!]. My friends missed their active to give me the unoffical tour of the more -ahem- 'useful' places I would need to know. I really hope I'm asked back to interviews and am going to download the assesments ASAP. The art in Big School was great and I had a nice chat with a philosophy teacher, seemed very interesting! Also my friends are jealous because I got to see around Grecians East while they have never been inside, it's so cool! I felt a bit sorry for the girl whose room we invaded - our tour guide said her room was messy so we could look in her friends, we were one of two parties at the time, and she was trying to work, so sorry to her!
It's so big I'm sure I'll never get around, but thankfully I have renewed enthusiasm as before I was getting a bit 'what's the point?' because of money issues, but I'm determind to be asked to interviews so I can at least see the school again!
Thanks to everyone who made it so great!

It's quite awe-inspiring the first time you visit, isn't it ?

I hope all goes well for you.

Not too bad. Unfortunately there was only one place where magic / witchcraft was practised and that was the sicker. It was also the site for teaching the only unconventional subject in the school. (OK Kirby and Crosland taught conventional subjects in an unconventional manner).
Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

Re: Not sure if this is the place to ask...
Glad you enjoyed it! I was slightly peturbed by the lack of flag [humph] and there was no SbtS marchpast, which was annoying - I'd gotten my camera ready to film it!Hopeful_2009_Dep wrote:Wow the open day was quite literally fab!!
