Morning Halla.:+)))))))))))))))))))

Well CBB ends this week so your ok.

Have you tried watching the news channel?

Cheggers, don't think so, mind you his odds are changing, he's caught Katie H up at 7/4.

I'll be watching!

I got a bit bored with The Jump yesterday, and gave up. Why couldn't they have put this on AFTER CBB had finished? Why was Louie Spence so overdoing the campness?

Did they show Zara's hubby in a thong and little bolero in the end?

Mine, too. I’m pleased Only Connect has moved from 4 to 2.

I like the connecting wall best.

Are you any good at it? I am amazed that I do so well in that programme...is it something to do with having been an 11-plus generation, I wonder? And I get better at UC when we get to the later rounds when Jeremy says the questions are 'harder', which I don't find at all. Of course the winner in this is always Mr Brain. Jeremy asks the question. I answer. The student answers. Jeremy gives the right answer. Mr Brain gives the right answer (tho sometimes he can still give the wrong answer). Mr Brain declares himself The Winner. Though he is yet to get an architectural question right. These are the joys of quizzes.

Not to bad at the wall. I get quite a few of the University Challenge ones, not the convoluted physics and maths ones, though, unless I blurt out the name of a law or a formula and it happens to be the right one.

I was listening to this report yesterday. Pupils expected to know their 12x table when the leave school at 11, I was expected to know them when I was 6. As for Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said pupils aged 11 should also know correct punctuation, spelling and grammar., maybe they should start by tackling some of the advertising agencies.

Just read that Emma is quitting BOTS - her last one tonight, then its all Rylan. Its apparently to much for her with all her other shows. She is continuing with the main shows by the way, its just BOTS she's leaving. It seems Rylan will continue hosting BOTS solo in the summer but thats not confirmed yet.

My grand-daughter has moved from a small state school to a private school. Both are in the same area with the same catchment. The superiority of the private school teaching is a scandal. It is much more structured, memory based, result orientated...and more professional. With such a dramatic difference in an affluent area I dread to think what the disparity must be like nationally. I have a personal dislike of privilege through cash, and I would have thought that keeping bright children in the state system should benefit everyone, but it would mean that a child was severely disadvantaged educationally.......I am glad my children are nearly 50 and I don't have to concern myself with this conundrum.

One of my nieces teaches at a Steiner school and her children were very advanced. Haven’t seen or heard from them for ages, though, her husband had a stroke, they split up and she has vanished from the social network.

When I was at school volunteers in the sixth form would help slow learners with their reading skills.

Oh dear, do like Emma, disappointed if i have to put up with Rylan, think he's awful, he just advertises himself, a bit like Perez, a me me man.
The Rylan show, hope no, they stopped his other shows, wish they would take him off the air.

My carpets are ruined, from washing with a carpet washer every 2 weeks (I think the underlay has rotted but I don't dare look) so I have been forced to cover them up with a massive series of vet beds lying on top of newspaper. I can at least change the newspaper and wash the vet beds once a week.. I don't see the point of getting new carpets just for them to be weed on.

Rupert is beautiful. I was steaming my rugs but unfortunately the polti was the second casualty of the le creuset wok falling. After my head it landed on the polti and it hasnt worked since. There cant be much wrong with it but i havent got round to finding out yet.
I have heard that the lakeland steam mop is very good.

If you had a choice between watching the two of them, would you rather have Ken or Perez?? On reflection I think I would rather have Perez, mainly because a lot of his screen time is filmed with him on his own and can be fast forwarded..”

I think I would rather have Ken because he doesn't shove food up his nose.

She is probably a very good friend. As long as you arent unemployed, common, fat, and above all, havent got a husband for her to swipe.

He clearly lays all the blame for this trauma at the door of KH.

Whether he believes what he's saying or whether it's for effect, I can find not a single ounce of compassion for him - what a nob.”

I am very very sorry for him because he seems miserable. I still want him off my tv though. The sooner the better.

I can forgive him everything except pretending to be ill when he wasnt.

I dont consider myself at all prissy,but I am really quite offended by all the vulgarity.
I dont mind if its funny, but there seems to be no point to it.

There should be no difference between the schools since they all teach the same thing at the same time (ish).
How can it go so wrong for some?

I like Rylan but whoever does it is at the mercy of the scriptwriters who dont seem to have got far beyond the stage of giggling at the word "bottom" It cheapens the main show, and if we wanted obscenity there are a thousand channels with more of it.

Still catching up after watching University Challenge and- best programme of the week- Only Connect. We love the wall and generally get it, VC is wonderful!
I doubt we will get to the end of CBB tonight as it finishes at 1 am so I will just have to contain myself.
I'm running away now in case I inadvertently see who is evicted....

Evening all - haven't seen the show tonight yet but it's very amusing reading all the comments!

I love Only Connect and have always watched Uni Challenge - I love Paxman, strangely as he's the kind of man I would normally loathe! VC is brilliant, I agree.

Hunky I'm still with you on Perez - whether his tears are real or otherwise, he deserves everything he gets - and I'm not a cruel or vindictive woman, in real life!

Evening Bella - me too, but I understand parents who believe that the state system is not providing the best for their children and seek it elsewhere.

For my money, the secret is in the quality of the teaching staff. I experienced it myself, attending a very old school all girl's grammar school in the 60s and I've seen the same pattern in my own children. The building can be falling apart, the sport's field non existent, no state of the art theatre, but if the teaching is good, children of all abilities will shine.
