0°C: thin fog.
Everyone is complaining about the cold. Lots are also complaining about the inadequate heating in school. We’ve had this weather for almost three weeks now. So today I decided not to fall victim to it. I took 2 tee-shirts to wear under my school shirt+tie and slaos my thickest wolly jumper. There are others on the staff who use the tactic of wingeing. Their tactic isn’t working. It’s not getting any warmer. My tactic is better, but I’m not fighting for any "principle". "It’s the principle" is not generating any heat, so forget the principle ladies & put an extra tee-shirt on.
And pupils, do you really expect any sympathy when you complain of the cold while dressed with bare mid-rifs?

Read the link……the best bit is here:
In Jordan, an independent tabloid, al-Shihan, reprinted three of the cartoons on Thursday, saying people should know what they were protesting about.
In a separate article, the newspaper’s editor, Jihad Momani, urged the world’s Muslims to "be reasonable" in their response to the drawings.
The paper’s publishers sacked him hours later over the "shock" he had caused, Jordan’s official Petra news agency reported.
Has he been sacked for asking people to be reasonable?
and this bit:
There has been widespread anger over the cartoons among Muslim nations and communities.
Why? Why are they angry about "cartoons"? Is ity because they perceive them as blasphemous? What’s wrong with blasphemy? Is their relgion so fragile that it should be defended against cartoons? If so, it’s not a very substantial religion then.
Boris Johnson summed it up well:
Conservative MP Boris Johnson told the BBC the Muslim religion should not be treated with kid gloves.
He said: "If you are a Muslim and your faith is strong and you believe in God and in your prophet then I don’t think you should be remotely frightened of what some ludicrous infidel says or does about your religion or any depiction he produces.
Grow up children!
