The Hassle Free Monday Issue

(Hopefully)

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the lack of a Monday Issue last week. This was due to an unforseen internet connection problem and college blocking the blogger site, therefore stopping me from posting this using their computers. The office did manage to get working by Wednesday afternoon, but by that time there was little point to posting a mid-week Issue. And, so, therefore, I am sorry for the delay.

As you may recall we were criticising Mr. Brooker and to add to the long list of things that he does wrongis this. From the beginning of the year he has been inviting boys six at a time into his study for lunch. I was invited to one of these little gatherings to enjoy the highest quality cuisine that our catering staff can provide. He wasted his time with pointless questions, which he thought useful, about education and the way the sixth form was working. Also he made attempts at beckoning us to his band of followers with big ideas such as sixth form centre. Really he should be working with the little kids who he can get on to his side with ease. One thing to say to him "Back off Brooker", Also there was a little demonstration out side school, last week, about the big plans that were to go ahead and revamp the whole of the school grounds and move the junior school to the main building. I have no idea why people were protesting the move will only improve the local community, but then there's always someone who has to complain.

As you will all know the Winter Olympics are well underway. I am spending this half term pretty much watching them from morning (if it is still morning when I wake up) to night. Just today I have found a new favourite sport to watch, Ice-Hockey. It's is far more technical to watch than football, and faster, and less muddy than rugby, and twice the violence. It can't be matched in team sports and I think you should all agree, but that's your choice.

Enjoy the holiday, those who can

One Monday Later Issue

The weeks just seem to fly by and yet again I am forging together some scandal, but not enough to sink a ship. What first shocked me was the pityful attempt at an assembly Brooker came up with today (yes it is Tuesday and I am late). His assembly consisted of him trying to make excuses for a e-mail he recieved; saying, in short, that the end of term Christmas assembly lacked the traditional values of previous years. Brooker came up with some silly excuse that because of his observations of these previous years he had come to the conclusion that we no longer should be required to sing, as we fail to do so or are rubbish at singing and don't know the words properly. It is clear that you should all draw conclusions from this that Brooker fails to understand the true value of the schools traditional techniques.

Which brings me on to my next point. Unfortunately the parent/old boy/student/person, which ever they were, interpreted this action on the 16th December as an over the top attempt of pollitical correctness and so avoiding the issue, of the values of the ancient academy we were, or are part of. However, Brooker in all his holliness came up with a smart reply to that type of e-mail and then went on to tell us about how impossible it would be to be entirely pollitically correct all of the time. (I.e. it is actually Pol. Incor. to be called Headmaster as this implies Head of the Masters and not Head of the Masters and Mistresses). His next example was not so well thought through, he went on to say how a manhole can not be Pol. Cor. and should also be called a womanhole, which was too much for the perverted thoughts of a 12-16 year old child and they proceeded to erupt in laughter.

Thus this proves that Brooker is incompetent at being a Master at a established private school, he is out of touch with the youth of today and he feels it neccessary to defend everything said against his perfect reign.

It is unfortunate that one session of Brooker can provide all the scandalous actions of the week with ease. One might say too much ease.

On further news I'm loving my first job and it pays very well, even though I have to get up earlier for work than school. I figure I'll leave it another few weeks before I use and abuse the employee discount for climbing equipment.

See you soon and hope to be drinking with you again
