did you know that rats like prawns - to eat that is not as chums

so a chief policeman has been found dead in mysterious circumstances on snowdon? and the government want schoolchildren to pledge allegiance to the nation in a sort of passing out ceremony.. our nation's teenager are pretty good at passing out already but i doubt they will take kindly to saluting the flag. and johnny has been dropped from the england rugby team.. what a day of news!

tomorrow im off to darkest whitechapel with 30 of my third years, not sure who should be more nervous: the area, the students or me? i just hope i can get them all there and back without too much drunken excess, tears or injuries. read another dissertation today (5 out of 8) it was pretty good overall - at least the grammar was correct. still a bit thin on content in places, but an enjoyable read for the most part (on yoof gangs - but in the 19th century instead of today)

rats are now arguing about left over bits of prawn, or they might be grooming each other - its hard to tell as i dont speak japanese
