Telephones, Haddock, and Death Metal...

Well Jo was still in Brum' so we all went to the Bluebell in Hockely Heath (I get so bored of Solihull.) Jo Gemma and John were nearly an hour late because of a trip to McDonalds first. (Junk food will make you fat, guys)

Today at work was a bit different. I arrived at 8:30 and was told that there was a small school trip to Avon museum and college complex because of a new government scheme that allows some bright pupils the chance to do extra courses out side of school. Things like Btecs and HNDs in areas such as Management, Catering, Marketing etc. Avon Museum would pick the kiddies up, and bring them back, and give them lunch, but they needed a member of staff to accompany them.......



..... You can see where this is going, can't you?



..... The minibus arrived. Myself and 14 pupils were bunged in to it and set off down the M42. My instructions were to make sure that the pupils weren't misbehaving, chewing gum, swearing or arsing around...

The museum is a nice place with all sorts of things to do. There was a model railway (a really really big one!) and old telephone booths that were linked to a real old fashioned switchboard that you could have a go on. We had a talk on the courses avaliable along with South Bromsgrove Highschool and then went down the road to the Hilton Hotel in Bromsgrove so that the kiddies could learn about what sort of jobs these courses can lead to. We had a VIP tour of the hotel, including "behind the scenes" like in the kitchens and management suites. Afterwards we were back in the minibus and taken to the local harvester for lunch. I had Haddock and chips with a salad... ALL FOR FREE! (no actually it's better than that because I was being PAID for it! woohoo!)

I am going out in a bit with Carl to see Cradle of Filth at the Wolverhampton Civic hall. As I write this he is sitting on the couch looking at my novelty holographic clock. I will blog any/all events that happen whilst I am there...
