Meanwhile, back in the playground

Last night I was part of a large Rotary zoom meeting in which some Rotarians in the Ukraine talked to us about what was happening over there and showed us some pictures and videos the BBC haven't shown. It made horrific viewing.

Meanwhile over here back in the playground, the lanky lad whose waving hand was always ignored by the teacher was enjoy having caught the posh swot with his hand in the sweetie jar and was endlessly screeching " Liar Liar your pants are on fire". His two wannabe henchmen Eddyweddy and the Big Scot were standing behind him yelling " punch him punch him, give him a kicking" . The rest of the class gathered round in a frenzy of excitement " fight! Fight!". The usual Billy No Mates danced around trying to decide which would be the winning side before choosing where to go . The scruffy but rich kid hid behind the climbing frame, ducking up and down, hurling balls of rolled up paper and paper aeroplanes at the other side and making Long Bacon with his hands while chanting " you can't catch me for a penny cup of tea". The head teacher has given up and is having a coffee and a cigarette in the staff room.

Meanwhile.......at the far side of Europe.........
