DPF’s Kiwiblog - Fomenting Happy Mischief since 2003
I always read the Kiwblog tagline wrong - seeing it as fermenting rather than fomenting so don't read any further.
Foment - foster, stimulate or instigate (sentiment, conduct, sedition etc)
Ferment - suffer, subject to, excite, stir up, foment
Concise Oxford (1964)
Thanks Russell for correcting URL on other thread. -
So who is getting the post points? And is this the PAS collective or the Borg? Can anyone tell which Emma is Isabel?
My school life gets summed up as didn't. Didn't wag - no point as am one of the invisibles so would have been marked as present anyway. Didn't do seventh form, nor university, didn't finish tech.
Even detention was lame. Hadn't finished English homework so of course was asked to read it out in class. Got to point where writing ran out and just said "um" and continued 'reading' - friend of friend told. Got detention but teacher didn't put on detention list so when I turned up wasn't expected.

Apologies Emma, didn't think you would have used the wrong word and certainly not meaning to accuse you of theft. "Borrowing to improve", that would be a better match.

Emma probably means filched. As in to steal or pilfer.

Maybe mind could be recovered with "Salmon Dance" by Chemical Brothers.
(Heather - fixed this. You were too capable! All the system needs is the YouTube URL -- just paste that in -- RB)

"These promises are like green grass to farmers but proof of the pudding will be in the eating; let us see what happens over the next 100 days," Mr Brenmuhl said. "Federated Farmers looks forward to working with government to ensure delivery of these priorities. Without them, New Zealand will not reach its economic potential," he concluded.
It's the green grass pudding that has me concerned or slightly lol-ing.

They may well still be doing those tests at schools - PAT

Here's a job with short-term high workrate - I do hope they have cleaned up.
