A foot of snow

We have measured the snow on the table and deemed it to be near enough (although probably not exactly) a foot deep. Which is probably some sort of record within living memory around these parts; or at least for this year!

The bare truth (will out)

It seems to me that the home education community (whoever they are!) lack a certain degree of imagination in their protestations against the [W:Badman Review]. “They sign those petitions ’til they’re sad in the face. And still they seem to be getting no place.” So “If public policy gets on your nerves. And no one pays attention to you” all you need to do is get naked!

What you have to do is what the [W:Doukhobor] did….

Scratching in (real) English

Although you can select from many languages for the Scratch interface the one that claims to be English is in fact American. So I made a real English version. OK! I just changed color into colour 🙂

If such things matter to you download the euk.po file. Unzip it and pop it into the locale folder within the Scratch application’s folder.
Now you too can enjoy real English like what it’s meant to be.

Before you know it those Americans will have us eating their greasy burgers, drinking fizzy sugared water cola drinks and watching endless repeats of Friends.

If you do not like regular English you can always make something up that sounds like it might be English.
