Patience. Apple Crumble will eventually be on the menu. Just need to wait.
So today the news is filled here with stories of thousands of kids getting exam grades downgraded because of a statistical algorithm. The UK Government backing the decision as the don’t want ‘kids being over promoted beyond their abilities’. The irony – coming from a Government filled with the most incompetent, over promoted, out of their depth numpties this country has ever seen. Our kids deserve better than this.
“Dad how unfair is that. That year group is not allowed to sit exams. So they have to go on schoolwork and what the teacher grades the kid at. Then they randomly drop the grades because they don’t think they deserve it. It’s just not right.”
It’s not fair. Especially as they are not doing the adjustment to kids going to Private Schools.
“Dad is there anything Boris and his team has actually not messed up. Pandemic, brexit, exams, sending warships after immigrants in rubber dinghies, food, trains, environment, schools, hospitals. I might even blame them for the weather.”
I can blame them for my team not winning a domestic trophy since 1955.
“No that’s just cos Newcastle United are rubbish.”
Ok but I can blame them for the state of the garden and the tomato plants.
“No Dad that’s down to you.”
Fair point but surely Hawklad, I can blame Boris for my burnt baking.
“No that’s the muppet baker.”
This is not going well…. I blame Boris for allowing a Sith Lord to be in charge of the country.
“That’s Cummings is it not. He does look like an evil villain. It’s scary that he tells the PM what to do. I will give you that one.”
It is scary. But not as scary as the thought of Boris being PM.
“Even you would make a better leader. Now that’s a thought. You could be this countries first ever tea total, vegetarian, single parent, Newcastle United supporting, useless cook, world class muppet ever to be our PM.”
That would be an honour.
“Even better your place in history would be guaranteed. The worlds first world leader called Gary….”
The world needs a hero, it needs a Gary…..
You’d have my vote!

Vote, vote, vote for Neddy Scrimgeor,
He’s the man tae gi’ ye ham an’ eggs;
If ye dinna vote for him,
He will bash (PIT actually ) yir windaes in,
An’ ye’ll niver see yer windaes any mair.
Neddy—-a tee totler in the drunkest city in the ‘British Empire’ overthrew Churchill in that election way before my time but we still sung it. Best mo for me reprising it in the Mr’s play was doing it as this really posh operatic suffragette who also fought him…
. espesh on the pit( As in windies ) .. gasp.. ..yir.. gasp;……windies….bigger gasp.. In… big pause. afore we got near the An’ you winna have your windaes any more.
That bad, even the auld wifies in the audience waited a mo before singing it right.
But seriously voting for you two.
