Well, yesterday I finally had a chance to see Indiana Jones 4. Since all who read this blog have already seen it I won’t say too much about it and I may also feel free to mention possible spoilers. Anyway, it’s been a long time since I saw the first three but I had no
I have read some pretty scary stories of how politcally correct and bureaucratic the UK has become.

The end of year had already come for three of the districts I sub in, but this one district actually finishes next week with a half-day
