The Hassle Free Monday Issue
(Hopefully)


F
irstly, 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.

A
s 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.

A
s 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

Some can be so lucky as to have a week off, i guess i will have to make do with my 4 weeks off at easter and the fact that i only attend uni 2 days a week.
I will say it again for the particulary deaf: BROOKER IS A TWAT!!!!

I know what you mean as regards to the Brooker situation. He does come across as if he wants to make things better for you yet you can't really seem to trust the guy. I mean full marks for actually attempting to listen to what the students say but it's another thing actually pulling it through. Such as the fiasco with sport. Despite their insistence on its importance, they forever cancelled it for pointless talks and discussions which could have easily taken up lunch times or other lessons during the week. I hated that situation as one such example but nothing was done about it. He has to actually carry out what he promises, instead of creating this mirage of action and democracy. Well done Pete for realising his tactics!

A week off? You deserve it guys...heck you should have two with the intensity you get during the January exam period.
