The time. And the inclination. I told my son that one day he would appreciate the time and effort one of his teachers put in to travel 20 miles to run the football team. Especially as he was Welsh and a rugby union man. They had great success out of proportion to the small size of the school. Since he retired you no longer hear of that school competing in finals even though it has grown considerably. Mind you having a headmistress who cancelled sports days as no child should know how it feels to lose and has a day where they do things like throw bean bags without anyone measuring the distance and propel hoops along or dribble football round obstacles without being timed hasn't helped.
If what goes past my house every weekend is anything to go by you'd think every bugger on earth had got lycra'd up and on a bike.
Must be said her parents were not stereotypical immigrants, they were were finance professionals not people who grow cannabis plants in the boarded up Zetland pub. Emma is a posho, without a drop of British claret in her and went to a well-to-do school. Watch the tug of war for her by desperate liberals, split lynx, Canucks, London Mayors and Romanians.

How could I possibly be positive about your posts? I've got to say though, I do like your contributions on anything music. You do know your music and you've seen acts that I can only dream of having seen
China is now claiming credit. Nothing wrong with going to well to do schools and having successful parents who instill a desire for success in them . Though we have plenty of kids who went to well to do schools and achieved nothing.
