Mrs NIck informs me that the Boy has won some sort of National Poetry competition eeek: It is being published in a collection in time for Christmas eeek:
-
:thumbsup:
-
The boy's going far. His FIRST publication :thumbsup:
-
Oh well done him! :thumbsup:
Game on for you then ... ;)
-
QUite predictably Mrs Nick has NOT sent me a copy of this poem evil:
-
Equally predicable is that the "prize" is that his poem will be published in a book of poems featuring all the "winners" from schools in the area and all the parents will be coerced into buying a copy...... the schools getting a rake-off.
Sorry but I have that tee-shirt. noooo:
-
Oh ...... And I have the book to prove it.
-
You are right

Mrs Nick has been duped and I followed her tracks. What utter cvnts

They caught us out when the THW was in year 5.
ISBN 1-84460-056-4 Edited by Simon Harwin
Published by Young Writers, Remus House, Coltsfoot Drive, Peterborough PE2 9JX
Book cost £15.99 but how the fvck do you say no to a proud 9 year old who is being praiised by the Head Teacher and told her poem will be published in a "Real Book" because it was so good?
-
I will maintain praise but plan to call the skool on MOnday for some bollocking type stuff
-
Exactly what we did.
The THW has only recently worked out that it was a con.
Oh and they wrote to us saying they had "reserved 5 copies so that the 'Nains and Taids' could have copies" each.
Nains and Taids are Grandmas and Grandpas in Welsh.
I told them to fvck off and only bought one copy for the child's sake .... Meanwhile we kept quiet and lavished praise.
-
Also been there, done that.
-
I told Mrs NIck earlier. She was not pleased scared2:
-
With you or with the school ?
-
With the skool, and also with me for telling her noooo:
-
I won a REAL poetry competition once... whistle:

Oh yeah rubschin:
There once was a fella called Barman
Who was weirdly preoccupied by self harmin
His body's been mashed
His head has been smashed
Indeed his similarity to Nick is alarmin
