Hi Planet, Bagpuss was the business! Professor Yaffle could skip a light fandango but to me the mice were just plain cool. Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss Old fat furry cat-puss Wake up and look at this thing that I bring Wake up, be bright Be golden and light Bagpuss, Oh hear what I sing Better not carry on ...

Thank you Ben,

I will pm you about your last post.

Kind Regards

Yep - messed up the quote bit - Mike do you have a 'Board Usage For Dummies' booklet?

Hi Anton, Thanks for the response. I have been a member of the SES since 1981 so I do remember how it used to be. I remember meeting Mr Mavro on 2 or 3 occasions and know that things were a bit Kookie to say the least, though I have no direct knowledge. This is the first time I am trying to use the ...

Find out! Contact him! ask him, call the Governors, write to them - you don't know and nor do I what he is thinking or what he has done - we speculate so much here.

Let us know how you get on, I'm sure it will inspire others to do the same.

I'm with Stanton and Free on this - the tone on this thread is vindictive and entirely speculative - perfect if you want to get worked up in to a lather! If you compare it to how Ben Wheaton has been contributing, the difference is obvious. Posts of this nature do nothing for any genuine desire to r...

Hi Chittani, How dare you disagree with me! It's outrageous! :painting: Actually you have inadvertantly given an example of what I was trying to convey in the way you have responded to EE. It is the spirit in which people respond to others that is important. Why Anton seems aggrieved that the Edmund...

Tom and Different Guest, You have taken one word from Elizabeth's posting and decided to reply in a cynical way. I am quite sure you will be able to justify it in some way but she has been brave in entering the dragons den here and has made an effort to bridge the gap in a way she feels she can. It ...

Hello Chittani, I think it is an important question you are asking. If a group purports to represent others then surely it should be transparent. It does concern me where you have the 'The Parents & Pupils Inquiry Action Group' taking on responsibility without accountability - certainly a potent...

That's no ordinary pink pussy cat Stanton - it's Bagpuss, perhaps the greatest cat in history!

Erm.....St James, are you not getting a little carried away?

Dear Stanton, Thank you very much for your reply. It seems posting it on the board rather than sending it as a pm was a happy mistake! I remember you well and it doesn't surprise me to see you contributing so constructively here. All the points you raise are valid and should be open for discussion. ...

Dear Keir and Stanton, Thank you both for your pm's which I greatly appreciated, both warm and honest. I will respond privately in due course - it may be a day or two as I'm off home soon. I wholeheartedly agree that the subject matter here is serious, nevertheless I've already come across 4 people ...

Dear All, Thank you for your responses. Sam it would be great to hear from you so give me a buzz ? I don?t have your mobile number anymore. Great to hear from you too James, hope NZ is treating you well; sorry you are missing the heat wave we are experiencing here in England. Thank you Nilsabm for y...

Dear All, I have been reading extracts from this site for some time and thought I should make a contribution. I have been a member of the SES (no one I know calls it SoES) for 25 years from the age of 16 on the encouragement of my brother who is also still a member. Neither of us were ever pupils at...
