The Great British Cold

[Robusto]

It has come back for ANOTHER visit to my chest - death rattle - dry throat and cough. Bit of nasal dribbling. And - FFS - no cigar action possible once more.

What is in the air in the UK?

What a shit Bryan. You might need to build up your immune system, having copped for another. Check out your local health food store for some vitamin/supplements.

The sweet smell of a "Spirit of Cuba" Alec Bradley Robusto is swilling around my dining room at the moment:41:

Get well soon mate, or schmoke your way through it with some of your everyday sticks:rock:

[Robusto]

Cheers cj. Thoughtful.

My wife's just said it's because you smoke... :(

[larrysputnik]

No. It's because you teach. :(

[Robusto]

Spot on, Joe.
And I know you live with walk-in classes, too.

My favourite moment is when a trauma breaks out because a kid has hair nits.

"SIR!!! SHE'S GOT NITS IN HER HAIR!!!"

Cue everyone else running to the windows...

I love raucous trumpet-farts in the room, too. You don't get many excellent canon-fodder ones, but when you do, they can be written up as DISCIPLINE EVENTS. :biggrin1:

So in true psycho form, I elect to react with laughter, or I go convincingly up the wall.

The truth of the matter is I find most things very amusing in the trenches, except catching second-hand germs from kiddy-carriers en masse.

I love it when a slow wasp makes it into the classroom in about June and buzzes over the kiddies' heads.
I love the screams.
I deliberately slow right down to remove the thing.
A man deserves a break from delivering.

The best is when someone from the state comes into my classroom to observe and a student starts screaming that another student is drawing boobies. Can't wait to read the report.:(
