The Courier always has a brief story from 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago. The story this week was of a jewellary robbery in Dundee with the criminals making their getaway in a stolen car to Glasgow. And it was our car! I still get teased about this because I always mumped that the car had no acceleration at all but my wife points out it was thought fast enough by jewel thieves.
Strange for the story to resurface after all these years.
tim..I am referring to Abu Qatada, the guy May kicked out today.If you have a prob with my ref details then take it up with your favourite news outlet, the BBC, who provided the data,.just type in Abu Qatada ,timeline
Talking of tennis and education I came upon this. I wondered what had happened to the Duke of Kent's wife who used to present the prizes at Wimbledon noticing that the Duke was alone.
It seems she's been teaching in a primary school in Hull under an assumed name (apologies as I'm sure everyone except me will already have known the story)
While we've all grown to love your inside knowledge of low value added education (the US military $10,000 toilet seat was the pinnacle of bad vfm for most of us until we were exposed to your geography lessons) I'm not sure that appointing an arbiter to decide which colleges are worthy and which are not is a good idea.
You may not value particular universities, FE colleges etc but I'm not sure we'd want you deciding which sports and music colleges should be prevented from operating.
If you'd like to extend the principle to tourist visas so we can wreck that sector too perhaps you can provide us with a list of tourist attractions you deem not worthy. After all, we wouldn't like to deal with people overstaying tourist visas as a criminal issue would we, far easier to close down the tourist industry.
I'm happy for any school or business to operate that could demonstrate their students were primarily coming for educational purposes, and were prepared to take reasonable steps to enforce visa restrictions (e.g. not working).
And I suspect I would thrash you on pretty much any head to head (no googling) educational challenge. I was 50 miles out on the location of Doncaster. Big fucking deal.

I'm sure they'd teach you to say bored with or bored by in an English language school for overseas students
The problem with the Language Schools is that most East European students enroll in order to be bored.

Save money on twit school fees by listening to The Clash.
The first set of the men's final has taken almost the same amount of time as the whole of the women's final. Shows why equalising the prize money for men and women should have been accompanied by equalising the number of sets played.
Or it should have been paid at 3/5ths. Or using audience numbers, sponsorship interest, etc.
The games aren't the the same in terms of length and need different skills. They aren't really comparable. Equalising prize money was pathetic politically correct nonsense.

Joe Strummer another public school hero of tim's to add to the honour roll of Darling , Blair , Christopher Hitchens and John Peel.
Also , Mick Jones is Grant Shapps cousin.
And Strummer (not his real name, something else in common with Shapps) was an immigrant from Turkey.Unlike Boris who is an immigrant, not from Turkey but with turkish heritage
Why did you miss out John Peel ? Not his real name . So what ?
tim disagrees with the BBC, WOW..Go check out the timeline tim, from your favourite newscompany..it is where I got the info from..I will spell it for you A-B-U Q-A-T-A-D-A
The Tories let him in as a refugee - he applies for Indefinite Leave to Remain under Labour - after he'd issued a fatwa:
16 September 1993 Jordanian national Abu Qatada, real name Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman, claims asylum on his arrival in Britain on a forged passport.
June 1994 The father of five is recognised as a refugee and allowed to stay in Britain.
March 1995 The "radical cleric" issues a fatwa, or religious edict, justifying the killing of converts from Islam in Algeria, and their wives and children.
May 1998 Abu Qatada applies for indefinite leave to remain in Britain.

@DPJHodges Careful now, you've been a bit too right recently. Ruining a carefully-built reputation.
Maybe not ;-)
NO MORE PERSONAL INSULTS PLEASE
Thanks.
Ed went straight to the Royal Box from Oxbridge and the caucuses of Islington without touching a blade of grass.

Next year's Euro elections will be held in May — not June as previously:

The local elections have been moved to 22nd May so they can both be held at the same time.

I'm so bored of Labour hypocrites.
Denge, though, has some interesting experimental acoustic mirrors if you're interested in early warning systems for incoming aircraft?
But I wouldn't be surprised if the acoustic profile of Drenge is similar to that of an incoming aircraft.
Illness, or was my praise for his ride yesterday the kiss of death?
