noddy's post

Have you ever seen anything so out of place in its surroundings, in current society, in rational thinking, that you just have to know its back story?

Who is Noddy? Why has he a telegraph pole dedicated to him? Why is it in the middle of nowhere? Just what kind of person climbs a wooden pole to hammer a random sign to it? And why has it been there for so long without someone removing it or defacing it or firing an air rifle at it?

Actually, you know what? I don't want to know the back story. It would inevitably be a disappointment compared with what's going on in my imagination.

I’m covering a year 11 maths class today. The note from their regular teacher said to give them personal study time to revise for upcoming exams. I am bored. I’ve finished the marking I had brought along, wandered round the class three times to see if I could be of assistance to anybody, and counted the gaps in the metal grills covering the windows (12,000 exactly)

As I drifted off into the abyss that is daydreaming without the dreams I began to hear snippets of conversations. So, as I am so bored, and as I haven’t posted for a few days, and as I have nothing of any consequence to post about, I thought I would open the world of disjointed year 11 conversions to the world – don’t worry, I did ask permission first:

Okay, I’m scared… Do you drink coffee? Do you? Do you?.. I’m fishing!.. Where’d that lead go?.. Just tell me how to do something… That’s RE – do. not. write on your RE work... Jemma, stop giving me slabber… Where’s these pluses at?.. Are you gonna make any money at the old writing?.. Very nice... You’d nearly think I need to know this crap... Lean on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend… He’s not worth it… Oh my gosh!.. I am not eating burgers ever again… Let’s ring Tescos!.. Suzanne – Sue-zed-eh-en-en-eeeee – Suzanne had braces… Let’s put on some Beach Boys… That’s the thing about Tai Chi… Shut up… I bring ma pappy to you. My pappy got a shotgun… Do you know you’re eating crisps at this time of the day and it is highly revolting… I don’t plan on passing the test… I’m trying to teach the p4s here… Excuse me!.. Someone licked that!.. Stephen, what is that? Jack and the Beanstalk?.. I said Shut up!.. Did she text back? What did she say?... I can’t say that out loud… Aw, sweet… she said ‘tell him he can [inaudible] her [inaudible]… what are we revising again?... If you’re finished with her could you let her know… Apricots… What?... Apricots… I SAID SHUT UP!!!

Enlightening. Enjoy your day.
