There are actually people out there who think the London terrorist attacks had something to do with the city winning the Olympics 2012 vote yesterday.

If that's true, then I want Osama Bin Laden to predict my Lottery numbers because he's got a better crystal ball than anyone on the IOC.

About 40 dead, over 700 injured. It could have been a shitload worse.

Right now I'm watching that "Undercover Teacher" programme on Channel 4 and I reiterate the sentiment I've mentioned before. Kids have too many rights. The teachers have lost control because they don't have the right to establish respect.

One thing that comes through is that teachers are under enormous, constant pressure from inspections and curriculum changes. I've said it before and I'll say it again. They need to be left alone to just teach.
