Enter the Void....

I like Eastenders but I think this week is going to stretch my imagination somewhat. The thought of Grunt Mitchell playing golf does not hold true.

But flicking round the sites I have found the following polls. It's about favourite deaths in soaps

Most Dramatic Soap Death
1 Trevor Jordache killed and buried under the patio (Brookside, 1993)
2 Richard Hillman driving his car into a canal (Coronation Street, 2003)
3 Steve Owen left to burn in a car (EastEnders, 2002)
4 Everyone in the Emmerdale plane crash (1993)
5 Maxine Peacock hit over the head by Richard Hillman (Coronation Street, 2003)

I remember the Jordache under the patio thing. It was the first time I really watched Brookside. He was played by the same guy who played Shifty in Bread I think

Most Emotional Soap Death
1 Ethel Skinner with a little help from Dot (EastEnders, 2000)
2 Jamie Mitchell in hospital after being run over (EastEnders, 2002)
3 Alma Halliwell of cervical cancer (Coronation Street, 2001)
4 Dennis Rickman stabbed on New Year's Eve (2005)
5 Matthew and Emily Farnham killed when mum Susannah crashed the car (Brookside, 1997)

Dennis rickman's death thought of as emotional? Well I suppose relief is an emotion of sorts

Most Ridiculous Soap Death
1 Anne Malone freezing to death locked in Freshco's freezer (1998)
2 Barry Evans pushed off a mountain (EastEnders, 2004)
3 Den Watts in a canalside shooting that turned out to be faked (EastEnders, 1989)
4 Everyone in the Emmerdale plane crash (1993)
5 Cindy Beale dying in prison during childbirth (1998)

I remember the Anne Malone death. I think the script writers were having a "Don't know how to end this but we'd better make it soon" moment.

And Maybe the following week in Eastenders will be added to one of the lists. But which list? We will have to wait to find out...

Here's a poem for Faaaantastic

Faaaantastic is also a blogger
in his spare time hes a bit of a jogger
He's a bit of a braggart
Looks like that bloke from taggart
And always gets high scores on Frogger

Everyone thinks I am mad... and here's why.

Today I was supposed to have my 'report reading session with the HM. The idea is, as form tutors, we go with our reports and she has a flick through and she adds her comment and it's done. Anyway this morning she came into the staff meeting holding one set of reports. She didn't have time to sign them on Friday so she took them home. She claimed she found many mistakes. She then stated that instead of coming for to the session we should spend the time checking for all the mistakes.
Everyone seemed happy to do this. My appointment was the last of the day and I decided to keep it. Unfortnately she had booked to see someone else, but she would take my reports and check carefully for mistakes- she had that 'That'll teach him to be cocky' look on her face. Looks like she's gonna check doubly hard.

Everyone thinks I was mad....

What I have learnt today

When you suffer from accidental Spoonerisms the way I do, it is not a good idea to tell people you are feeling Bright and Shiny!
