Greetings & Salutations Cov & Cherry - and a few others - including newbies too I see.

Well, new to me anyway.



Just thought I would pop in and say hi.

Discussions of new term eh? Hmm, that used to instil dread into me when I was younger. Not from any fear of corporal punishment - it had all but died out even then - but just the dreadful drudge of a six day week (yes Saturdays too, bastards). That and playing games in the sleet, wearing navy blue shorts with no undergarments. I remember the first day I experienced that fresh new hell. I was singularly unimpressed.

Actually I was a bit hard to please I suppose as endless marching in the CCF on Friday afternoons didn't float my boat much either - until I was transferred to hovercraft section - enormous fun.

I'm waffling - but it's late and my mind has just gone for tea and biscuits and left my fingers typing unsupervised. Sorry about that, I'll remonstrate with it upon its return.

Sort of back on topic, with "terms" and - by extension - schools, I read recently that the school which Kipling attended (United Service College in Devon) used to use the cane - but on the upper back and not the arse. I know it wouldn't work for most folks, but that would have been my dream school. "Rewarded for being naughty with a striped back" how fab would that be.

Anyway, I mustn't ramble (at least not more than I have already indulged myself in), so will potter off - just spotted the time too - and catch you good folks soon.

ciao4now.

Hugs or what you will

Mark
