We have just had the equinox that’s vernal, That winter had seemed quite eternal, Now the days will get longer, And the sun will get stronger, After that it will become Autumnal.

Happy Birthday to Me (BOGOF limerick)
Happy Birthday to me so they say, And to celebrate I’m going away, For a day out in Bristol, In a coach that’s quite full, With students, that should make my day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the evening I shall have a beer, And another as well I do fear, I hope thats its fun, For everyone, And that my brother doesn’t cut through french weir.

An ideal man…
I am not an ideal man but to some people the ideal man has broad shoulders a glint in the eye (maybe not showing the evil other eye) and a good trouser bulge…
March was a particularly interesting meeting…

Tutor meeting minutes
One of our strengths at the college has to be our fine tutorial system. This is the result of the discussions at the February tutor meeting…
I thought it was good that these were made widely available as they contain insight into educational practice…

Mothering Sunday
Happy mothers day to everyone’s mum, Who for 9 months carrried us in their tum, Then they fed us with food, Brightened up our bad mood, And for the first years they wiped our dirty bum.
Monday – A golden raspberry award costs £3 to make, congratulations to Sandra Bullock for getting hers (oh and the oscar I suppose too). The most expensive ticket for the Wigan v Liverpool game was £28. Also it is commonwealth week. I only realised today that Singapore is a member of the commonwealth.
Tuesday – We live in something known as the Goldilocks Zone, (or more boringly known as the habitable Zone). it is where a planet is neither too hot nor cold for life, but just right. Canada is the worlds second biggest nation.
Wednesday – There are 460 Bingo Halls in the UK
Thursday – Anti-wrinkle cream is an outrageous con. It works by adding acid to the skin, irritating it and swelling it to get rid of the wrinkles. Apparantly you might as well be rubbing vinegar in.
Friday – Lewis Carroll invented the word chortle (from Jabberwocky)
Saturday – Learnt that my brother fell into a ditch on his way home from a night out last December and had great difficulty getting out. In fact was lucky to but it is funny now that we know he survived the experience.
Sunday – 2 ingredients that are not listed in Morrisons Dandelion and Burdock are dandelion and burdock (however it does contain carrot)

Student Interviews 9th March
I had 4 interviews to do today, But the first one just stayed right away, The second wasn’t there, The third was elsewhere, And the fourth one also went astray.

Avatar not winning best film oscar
Despite hating all the award ceremony back slapping tacky glitzy fake pretending to be all so much more important than the heart surgeons and relief workers of the world the 2010 Oscars at least got something right…
So Dances with Smurfs was not best, Though visually it may outclass the rest, The story was a bore, In 2D I’d snore, And to stay to the end would be a test.
