Eldest daughter......straight A's all across her subjects.

Top of the year as a student (including Greek  eeek:) out of over 100 kids...and she is one year younger than the rest (she got put up a year).

Not bad for an English kid in a 'Bubble' school.  cloud9:

After seeing and hearing about loads of sarcastic notes of complaint over the years it's good to see that there are people who support the paramedics when they are on a call.

A pensioner finds a load of old VHS tapes in his loft and buys player on Ebay in order to see what is on them.

This is the thankyou note he sent the seller afterwards
