We can, you cannot. At Oxford Uni.
Hundreds of protesters are expected to gather at Oxford University after students voted to allow BNP leader Nick Griffin to speak at their union Martin McCluskey, president of the Oxford Student Union, said it was “disgraceful” Sabby Dhalu, secretary of campaign group Unite Against Fascism, said: “If the event goes ahead as it stands, it [...]

Dimmock spin
So the brilliant file “An Inconvenient Truth” can be seen in schools. Apart from the last few minutes when it’s a case of USA! USA! it’s a damn fine film and one that all kids should see. One guy thought different and challenged the Government. He won – though it can still be seen. Mr [...]

Blackberry scratches
No, not the gorgeous little shiny gadget that I covet but those fruity beads on the end of spiny vines. P and me went blackberry picking earlier – she got the easy stuff I got the higher stuff – hence the multitude of scratches. Tomorrow she’s making Blackberry and Apple pie :) Both rowing machines [...]

Where did Ruth Kelly go?
All this fuss about giving money for colleges and getting a peerage, the talk of establishing academies, universities dropping pass rates to 26% and even the school that the parents bought because it had closed. All that – and the Opus Dei member is kept away from the public view. For once, thank you your [...]

WordPress – “It’s for grownups”
Today is “Go to work day” for the kids in P’s class. So those that can go to a workplace with a parent do so they can experience a bit of ‘work life’. Those that cannot for whatever reason get to stay in school. Even if J and me still worked in our previous jobs [...]

Punctuation. Serious.
Following a comment in #wordpress, and a previous observation some weeks ago on the same thing, I have a question. In English, which of these is correct: What time is it ? What time is it? And why.
