Turnips would be served with the turkey. Santa would wear blue. Crackers would contain different jokes, but not ones that were any funnier.<BR/><BR/>We here are celebrating xmas too. Everyone has a reindeer-name, which is used instead of the real one. Tetrahedrons and cubes adorn the tree. Snowflakes (with threefold symmetry) adorn the windows. You know the sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Must speak properly - not through this weird distorting trumpet...seeking echohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07751362728185120933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975820119835559954.post-46569816238599526222008-12-10T14:28:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:28:00.000-08:00Literacy Target:<BR/>Always check your writing Pythagoras to make sure it makes sense<BR/><BR/>I like this though, its like a needle skidding off a record halfway through a song<BR/><BR/>How are you this week?<BR/><BR/>Forlorn Christmas dinner at school today- couldnt even get the knife into the parsnips. Naym Islam said to me 'Mick I dont like those chips' They aren't potatoes Naym and you are here with the TAs dressed up as reindeers and Slade and Bing Crosby adding to the utter misery and futility of it all.<BR/><BR/> The Christmas dinner is an exercise in..what exactly? The crackers are the only despairing gesture that has the vaguest resonance for the children.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if the cooking was above Hague war crimes prosecution standards then it would be better. Thank heavens for fish fingers even if they have never been in the presence of a cod.Without them we would be exposed to the halal Turkey, a very menacing item.Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
