Keith Scantlebury

Aye and the Percy would be called the "High House"

The first one is from The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars -- David Bowie . Is the second one from Songs in the key of Life -- Stevie Wonder. I can't even guess at the third ( it looks like an instrument of torture that I am currently enduring in order to qualify for this free bar !!)

HUH how how come the blue eyed boys get the glamourus gigs , this tour of the exotic big houses of the states and Mercs swimming with sharks etc, I thought that one was so good, I would have given it to the wife for xmas ( I bought her a plot in the church yard last year and she has'nt had the decency to use it yet). ME, ME !!!! on the other hand has to offer myself up for experiments on the old chutney channel. (Mind you if there IS a free bar, it could be quite a pleasurable experience. )

RIGHT !!!! ITSEEZY !!! Mat Munro was abducted from a bus in leeds (working as a conductor) by aliens who happened to be David Bowie's Spyders from Mars. They had their wicked way with him and dumped him on a Island in a Stream (Kenny & Dolly) on the North Yorks Moors where he still wanders for eternity with Heathcliffe ( Kate Bush) ..... There you go. !!!! Give me my prize IMMEDIATELY !!!

It's your tinnitus playing up again, mebe?

You 'd better better hurry up then 'cos I'm doing your nails.

If you read between the lines in an article in this weeks NPL. you will realise why the workmen are at Keith L's house. He has nicked the entire electrickery supply for the street lights to Terrier Close and re-directed it to his house thus blacking out the rest of the street leaving his neighbours in the dark and too scared to venture out after lighting up time. Apparrently this is in preparation for a Christmas light display at his house that will be seen from the mir space station. All at the expense of NCC.

Thats what I meant, they went to Africa to get their barnets clipped

They are not just fined , Canny Lass, There is quite a number of parents who have been jailed for not ensuring their kids were at school. The truant officer, (school board man or the hookey man as we would call him ) takes on a different role these days, no more lurking in the half light of doorways to grab a handfull of kids by the collars and marching them to school to re-start their day with 6 of the best. Now its phonecall, e-mail , letter, summons, fine, then if you still dont get them to school, Jail. Being at work and thinking little Johny is at school is no excuse. You are to ensure your child is at school or give a very good reason why not.

AFRICA !!!!!!

I know that Bedlington Community High School issues attendance figures for each pupil regularly, at least every half term. My daughter came home the other day with a recognition for 100% attendance and they have only been back for a few weeks. So it does show that they are monitoring attendance closely. If a pupil fails to turn up for school, or if a parent has not rang in with a reason why, an automated phone call is made by the school to the parent for them to contact the school. This is usually done arround 9:30 (ish). I have another daughter ( Briony) who is a junior stylist at Euphoria hairdressers (opposite the Northumberland on Vulcan place) and her attendance and attitude at work is 100%. She spent her last year at school itching to leave and find a job. It has not been all plain sailing for her, but she looks forward going to work more than she ever did going to school. The point that I am trying to make is, staying at school and gaining extra qualifactions does not benefit everyone. Some people like Briony, benefit more by getting into the work place earlier to start their training for their chosen carreers.

Soon ? you mean AGAIN !!! He just comes out to get the jacket that makes him hug himself dry cleaned
