The French Army? What's that? The problem in Vietnam is terrain: jungles, mountains, rivers. Maneuvers a nightmare.

During one of my early morning classes this week (6/7 year olds) I was trying to teach them about facial features. Eyes, ears, nose mouth were easy beasts to introduce. I was getting them to try and 'raise right eyebrow' and anything I could think of to get them involved. Those of you that can flare your nostrils will know that it's an easy trick, but kids are amazed by it! I was getting them to try it, and one kid, trying as hard so hard it was nearly offensive, was saying 'Alan Teacher, Alan Teacher, look look' he was concentrating so hard and trying so hard that he managed to poop his pants.

The face changed, a look of excitement changed to a look of amazement, then he started laughing. I ask if he was ok and he replied (pointing at his bum) 'Alan Teacher, dung dung, me dung!' I didn't deal with it at all (unless you count getting another teacher to clean his ass) and carried on with the rest of the lesson. The rest of it was stinky.
And now what you have all been waiting for:

It's suddenly got very interesting at the top, the introduction of a war theme has meant that Dave's lead has been brought down to only 3 points. I think that this could mean the end to the reign. The war theme will end on June 5th on Mr Bombers birthday. Rabbie yours is close too, choose a theme and I'll do it. Let me know birthdays folks ad you can have a theme to yourself.

Name---------------Points
Porteous -----------14
Gref----------------11
Bomber-------------10
Scott----------------5
Chimpy-------------3
Stoobs--------------1
Jessica--------------1
Claire M------------1
Rabbie--------------1

Hope that you are all well, let me know what you are up to as I am missing everything.

I don't know. Apocalypse Now? That was set in Vietnam, right?

My birthday is the 24th of July (24/7). If I'm allowed to pick my theme then by God you're going to be quoting from some really dreadful films. Who remembers Shelly Long? I do.

As for me, well I'm starting driving lessons again in a couple of weeks. After that I'm going through to Ayr to see my cousin Jason. Nothing unusual until August when I go to Rome.

In the British news, tonight is the Eurovision Song Contest, taking place in Kiev (the capital of the Ukraine, not the garlic butter filled, breadcrumbed and deep fried chicken breast).

If you haven't seen Revenge of the Sith then you're life is meaningless. What an absolute rip-roaring, Jedi-murdering, clone-waring, clash-of-the-titans-esque beast of a film. I have already heard a fan claim this is the best of all six films -- I'm still unsure, but I admit he may very well be right.

It's from Futurama, and it's from the episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV". One of my all time favourites I must say. Surely it would have been more difficult if you didn't give his stage name? Bender really should be a role model for all our children.

Nobody has this post's quote yet, new one very soon, different film though.

I agree that a Maori army could kick the ass of pretty much any army that could exist (save for a Predator army, or an army built entirely from Vic Mackeys/William Shatners).
But in episode 2 the Maori army were on the side of the Jedi, not against them. If you are referring to episode 3 then I'm sorry as I am going to see it in a couple of hours.
