The Grammar School

Did anyone else see the two part documentary on the Grammar School on BBC4.  If not you can catch up on the BBC IPlayer by following this link:


If you did see it, what did you think?

[ Added on 20 Jan at 19:52.   Well, I'm sorry about the link.  When I put it there a few days ago, it took you to a page on the iPlayer site that allowed you to play either or both episodes.  But now, it seems, the BBC has decided to remove the programmes and has replaced them with a couple of very brief descriptions of the programmes].

Benedicto benedicatur




Did you enjoy your Christmas dinner?

Oculi omnium in te Sperant Domine;
et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno
Aperis tu manum tuam,
et imples omne animal benedictione.

The Beatbox Nativity




If you haven't seen this elsewhere, you'll enjoy this new take on an old message, even those of you who can only take it with a pinch of salt.

Don't forget to turn your speakers on and click the full screen button to the right of the progress bar at the bottom of the window.

Happy Xmas, and a slightly more prosperous New Year to all.
