Did Ingram's farewell post get deleted off or have I just lost where it was posted?

Lumberjill

ah, the vague vague hope of the sympathy shag the last gasp of Ford drivers for generations

except ftephan, he's clearly wired...

well, to get a bit of perspective, Doncaster and Grimsby also lost at home.... t

And he has a silly haircut. Hey, back in the day all my mates tried to copy his back comb buffont - except me, early onset baldyness and a sense of self respect made me resist. .. I stuck with the suede head, not quite a skin head look, so beloved of erotic paperback novellas of the day, such as 'Dragon Skins' or 'Knuckle Girls'. .. Collectible apparently, now I've thrown them away.

one of those touching american made for TV films, about a kid that overcomes adversity in the end by finally realising he loves his mom and that facially disfiguring sex based disease thing is just skin deep

now I have to tilt the laptop, without causing suspicion, in order to google Ms Khoo

Same goes for Paul Weller, a man I'd have followed to the ends of the earth when he was in the Jam. Then I met him, turns out he's another bellend that captured the zetgeist just when I was looking for something to belong to.

he sees himself as the stylish intellectual spokeman for a gritty sneering underground alternative, but he's actually just a prize cock

I agree with that, the basic simplicity of that just cannot be denied. The devil comes in the detail. We have two comprehensives in our town, one is close to the top of the league table, one is very close to the bottom. Same town, same generally average population to draw from same guidelines on religion and on uniform etc.. Both are state funded LGA controlled etc.. There is only one clear difference. The comp that is currently out performing where it should be, is a girls only school. The comp that has consistently for 15 years underperformed under the control of various head teachers, is all boys. The solution currently proposed? One supersized mixed school. Now I may just be a cynical old bugger, but I don't see that achieving anything other than making one supersized broadly average school. Yippe doo to that solution. I don't think the boys' school should simply be left to 'get on with it' condemning all male students to a poor education. I also don't believe the solution is to dilute the girls' school. So now we have to deal with those pesky details. I don't claim to have the answers, but I'm fairly sure there are two things that won't work: Gove style amateur political interference. A supersized, all in, one stop, mega comprehensive left free to just get on with it.

BBC 4?

bbc4 Old Grey Whistle Test Talking Heads / Jam / Blondie / Iggy Pop / Specials all good so far...

I'm really struggling with people not having seen Zulu. We actually HAD to watch it when I was in school. It was shown the same day as the STD films. A proper coming of age day.

I guess any judgement depends how high you set your standards I'm not the world's biggest Gove fan. Under his proposed system I would have utterly failed within the education system and wouldn't have had half the life experiences and chances I've since been lucky enough to enjoy. But interestingly, I've previously listened to him on R4 a couple of months ago. On both occassions he came over as thoughtful and engaged and his ideas sounded reasonable and worth trying. Strangely, later on Newsnight / QT / the next day's Independent etc the actual theory nehind his ideology was ripped to shreds. Could it be a soft style of R4 interview is allowing him more of a 'pitch' than an interrogation?

yeah, beat her 8 - 4, 8 - 5, 6 - 4, 4 - 6 lost the last round because I was on here!
