BBurnWanderer Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Bburn Wanderer, take the detention. Technically you are in the wrong and the Headmaster has to be "seen" to be doing his job but you have stood up for something you believe in which will stand you in good stead in later life, take it like a man. Only just saw this now, i had was about to accept the detention, when my deputy head and assistant walked into the room defending me, they said i shouldnt due to him being my hero, my love for bolton and just saying goodbye to a footballing legend. Then again, my headteachers a right tosser and im there till half 4 tomorrow :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did that in front of you then the BPD headmaster should sack them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slug Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Very moving day on Wednesday. It was nice to see so many off here and a lot of familiar faces pay their respects. I sincerely doubt that one man will mean so much to the town ever again, and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juewanderer Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 This has started me off again Nat's memorial A dignified memorial service was attended by those who knew the man best, and it was here that Nat?s son, Jeff, passed on the details of his final hours in the Beechville Nursing Home, where he died on Saturday, January 15. ?I?m told dad had a sudden surge of energy, which sometimes happens when people reach their final day,? he told a gathering of around 60 people. ?During the course of the afternoon, he insisted on being shaved. He insisted on being dressed, which had not happened for some time. ?If you remember him, you will know how immaculately dressed he always was. Always a shirt and tie and jacket, never an open neck. ?It was the first time in 10 days that he went down to the dining room. He ate dinner, and had more than he had managed for the past two weeks. He went back to his room and Wayne, the nurse, helped him back into bed where he went to sleep for the final time. ?But I am told that before he went to sleep he said something. ??I?ve got the ball now. It?s a bit worn, but I?ve got it.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
