Month: May 2006

Heh.

Via tyrell, an excerpt from this post on a teacher’s blog, because it made me laugh:

“Arriving at the car park, I performed a quick Goth count. Forget ‘percentage of free school meals’ or the school’s behaviour policy, the best way to gauge behaviour is to do a Goth count. The number of moody teenagers dressed in black and wearing studded bracelets is in inverse proportion to the amount of bad behaviour in a school.

Though usually silent and aloof in class, Goths work reasonably hard, they have outside interests that extend beyond Lambrini and sportswear and, by their very disdain, they don’t disrupt.

OK, the condescension can get irritating but, overall, I like a healthy scattering of Goths in a school.”

Scalping [slight return]

So, the plan to get rid of my all hair is still going ahead, almost certainly this weekend. However, the British Heart Foundation are being fucking useless, not getting in touch when they say they will, and generally making it needlessly hard for me to give them money. So, I’m reverting to my default position, and raising money for Cancer Research UK instead.

You can sponsor me on-line here: http://www.justgiving.com/get_a_haircut_hippy

I’ll post a photo once I’m suitably shorn, if you’d prefer to wait – the page will remain available for you to donate through for the next month.

(If anyone who said they’d sponsor me when it was the the BHF I was raising for wants to pull out/change the amount, then they should feel free – I feel bad about moving the goalposts, but they really have been fucking useless.)
