Yes, I would imagine your daughter is more concerend with what her teacher thinks than some random parent. You may also want to consider letting her know she got out of an afternoon of heavy lifting.

"Democratic Hub" publishes list of Obama's accomplishments, half of which are bumpings-off.

Article seems to present it as something for smug liberals to pat themselves on the back with (it's not like it's being championed by national Democrat websites or Obama himself), but it's certainly a depressing list.

Yay a power cut. The house is oddly quiet.

Half ten last night clearly wasn't the ebst time to discover I could play FIFA online. I'm knackered now, after my Sunderland narrowly lost to some person being Barcelona 3-0.

Get your daughter to cover the Dirty Chav womans kid in a bucket of pigs blood in the centre of the dance floor at the next school dance.

Or what MaliA said.

So, MrsA's flight home isn't until tomorrow, despite her thinking it was today. Does anyone know of a decent place to stay in Barcelona?

In brief, I don't like SS uniforms being worn because it causes grief, distress, and offence to others. As for the Hitler Youth example I mentioned in my original post, that upsets me more, because a kid lacks the moral capacity to justify to himself or the public why we need to be reminded of such a horrid thing.

When we went away camping, we were going to take the boom box from the kitchen, and it got as far as the door, then we decided not to. on our return, three days later, mrsA had unplugged the fridge/freezer to get the boom box.

Well, looks like pizza and beer for dinner for me again this evening. I've asked her, now she's got the time, to get me a matador costume, as there must be loads gathering dust in Catalonia now.

Cheers, i'll pass that on; She's not happy and feeling really stupid over this. I've told ehr it's better to be a day early for a plane, rather than a day late.

I was making the point that nobody calls them boom boxes any more and MaliA was massively 80s-ised. Nickachu answered my question literally.

Are stampy boots only to be used when a joke is trampled on rather than a point being made?

I thought everyone called them Boom Boxes because Ghetto Blaster is "racist" nowadays?

And you can use the boots to demonstrate people trampling all over your point if you want

How is Ghetto Blaster racist, all colours live in Ghettos surely? The other name for them is the extremely racist one.

Never called them a Boom Box myself.

Rhymes with Master Blaster. I never twigged about that name until now. Wow.

Mind you, that could be a regional thing, and not as widespread as other names.

Think of a racist name three letters long that begins with the letter 'W'

Maybe it was just me?

I'M KIDDING!
