Because I’m nice, I’m helping to mark the PTFA (Parents, Teachers, Friends… you get the idea… of QPCS) Quiz Night tomorrow night. And you can be rest assured of fairness, cause I’ve sourced the other markers from my AS Level Maths class 
Here’s some other fairly random bullets about school you may or may not be interested in:
- I had a Physics test on Wednesday which went OK, I think. Not amazingly but not a flop either – or so it appears from my preliminary look at the marking
- I think I got the most book vouchers ever in one go – a whole £18! For, ur, turning up to school each day last year. And yes – I plan to spend them on something frivolous like a Doctor Who script book or Spam Kings
- Talking of Doctor Who – have you seen the new Cybermen? Now you have! All great apart from the shoes…
- Since I’ve drifted off school anyway… I want to cheer my new Nucleus Disciple status. Woo, yay, houpla!
Final quote of the post must go to Mr. Moore (English teacher, and a bloody good one too):
Me: Phew, I’ve just finished a Physics exam
Him: Well Dominic, it is your fault for choosing Physics…
(Note – the emphasis on the last word with the tones of bitter arts\science rivalry. Can’t we all just get along?)
P.S. Physics still rocks though. What other subject asks you to measure the distance between the feet of two ice-skaters?
So, it turns out democracy isn’t so bad after all. 
Parliament did their job, and instead opted for the much more sensible 28 days. Why the government pushed for three months might never be known – they were close to compromise, after all, but backed away at the last minute.
90 days was wrong. Imagine if you were held for 90 days without charge? Not to mention that terrorism is usually about intelligence failure, the point being that you don’t know who will be committing it anyway! This plan wouldn’t have helped stop terrorism, merely make a police state more likely.
A post solely for QPCS people here – Mr Drummond, history teacher extraordinaire, recently popped up on a series of videos on the Queens Park website to guide you through your GCSE Humanities coursework. All well and good… but what it really needed was a bit of sparkle. And so, proudly presenting…
The Vote Drummond 2005 Campaign Video! Download it now! (3MB WMV format with sound)
Would you vote for this man? I would
Graciously sanctioned by Mr. Drummond himself on the understanding that he isn’t really a Tory and, obviously, isn’t really standing for election. (Mmm… don’t you just love the legal bits?)
Next week on the Red Dalek challenge – can you find the line between humorous parody and libel? Answers on a postcard!
From BBC News, on Coca Cola’s decision to ditch certain flavours:
“We are exploring ways to bring them back at another time, but right now Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke are what consumers are telling us they want.”

I’m at a Bonfire party tonight, hopefully with the traditional hot dogs they usually serve(!) Happy 5th November, and remember, fireworks can kill or seriously injure, so always make sure to stand behind someone you dislike.
Since it’ll be Windows Live Messenger.
Great, so instead of saying “Oh, MSN me tonight” we’ll be saying “Oh, Live Messenger me tonight” or something. Riiight.
At least the butterfly will finally be going. I never liked MSN branding
