Marvellous it's time to relax in the sun laden park whilst eating distasteful ice creams. Yesterday, the charity talks in Birmingham went rather well with Mr Thorne and I impressing them with our desire, eloquence of our words and ideas but I fear they do not realise our commitment to helping others with the demeanour we projected. My deep Yorkshire twang is often difficult to detect yet one of the ladies was Belgian who seemed to understand whilst asking a barrage of questions.
Another outlet of questioning coming from the University Employment Dept who appear to be confused by their own role with masses of personnel emailing me instead of just the one person I initially emailed asking of certain positions and Vodcast to take place. One such position of use would be a non payable but extremely valuable experience as a Journalist/Writer in Walsall, my fellow Literature Students. If you wish to apply, email to theworkplace@wlv.ac.uk addressed to Kam Atwal, requesting the application details and I'm sure it'd be helpful for our essay writing next year.
Continuing on the educational stance, it seems the story of the 14 year old allegedly assaulted by his teacher has caused dismay and confusion. The teacher in question seemed to have an impeccable history and without fault in his long career which begs the question 'What pushed this gentleman to lash out?' which is fairly straightforward, it's the pressurized environment in which teachers work under. I knew many a short tempered teacher pushed to the point of breakdown during my schooling and surely it's time for measures to be in placed and counselling offered in every school in the UK. Alternatively, the children of his class could of acted terribly pushing him into seeking violent retribution. Either way, if he is culpable then lets hope he is punished accordingly with changes to be made in the future.

Finally, my associate Mr Zeppelin has wrote of his excitement surrounding a newly created Jaguar where he works and I must say it's very nice looking with the curves and grills to match Aston Martins. Yet it's the speed and acceleration that matters so to quote Jeremy Clarkson 'It's time to hand over to our tame racing driver... some say he grew up without realizing he was male..'

Have a wonderful weekend, all. I shall begin mine with a quick read of Ian Rankin's short story of '92, I wonder if Rebus stemmed from this story or previously written the compilation of the Rebus series also if my writing could ever be as recognized in a similar fashion to the Scotsman.

I'm guessing this teacher was mentally-ill. My metalwork teacher sent letters to Tesco threatening to put glass into the yogurts. As he'd put his name and address on the letters, it was decided that he was mad rather than bad…
Teaching's a very stressful profession. I'm working on my defence before the inevitable killing spree…
Mr. Snelgrove was my chemistry teacher, he just disappeared one day. Later I found out he had a nervous breakdown. I was pretty sad about that because he brought us ice cream from the family ice cream company every Friday.
I felt for that teacher, Mormon kids in Utah are not very "Christ-like"...whatever that means.
