.....Serious, serious......

Phone call at 9.15 this morning, car repaired, ready to be collected....total bill £351. How do they always manage to find something extra to do after they've given you a quote (£250)?

Phoned young Helen to arrange for her to drive me to the garage to collect the beast..............She arrived just before twelve....she'd had to wake Charlie up....and then had a long search for her car keys....turns out the S & H had taken them to work with him.

The car is driving like a dream and the fuel economy has shot up.

Took them to lunch and then we came back here to pass the rainy afternoon. Charlie has been having a serious day, hardly any smiles but lots of attempts to roll over....she's wriggling around a lot and is almost able to roll from her back to her front....so that's everything in their house now needs mobile baby proofing....and quick.

The meeting tonight went as expected.....I listened to crap for a few minutes but when the two numpties responsible for the cock-up started bulling and trying to muddy the waters instead of admitting they made a poor choice about how the assessments were done and reported I launched in..........phrases I used (including their real meanings) included........

With all due respect.............Listen you dopey bugger.
Not fit for purpose................bloody useless.
A safety net is required.........so you two pillocks can't cock it up for any more kids.
The reading age was 16+.........most of you are too thick to understand the questions yourself.


But when the two of them started spitting their dummies...... and raising their voices..... and making excuses,....and trying to blame others, then the tone changed and the following phrases came out...no translation neeeded....

You ballsed it up.
Attending a crappy two hour workshop does not qualify you to assess the abilities of children.
What the f*ck has a question about diet got to do with fishing?
Which dipshit put in the question about warm up exercises?...for a fishing match!
Don't talk bollocks, Sport England does not demand that all sporting activities have a warm up.

and the classsic..........

Don't try that psuedo educational bullshit on me, I've been a teacher for thirty-one years, and even I don't claim to get assessments right every time, that's why you have moderation meetings....bet you tossers never thought of doing that before deciding who made the county squad...just in case one of your "Talent identifiers" was marking too leniently or harshly!!!!!

Bet they don't want to see me at the next meeting in October!

Das vidanya moy padruga.
