Valentine Special

It's Valentine's day today and you can send cards to your fellow students (or teachers!) by putting them in the red box near reception... it's like a Valentines post box!

Also, don't forget our Extra Special Valentine's Pub Club on FRIDAY 16th at FUZON (9.30pm)

We have fun, games and competitions and I'm sure someone may read a love poem or two... as an extra special prize Eric has donated some of his own pictures which he has painted - in a few years it could be worth millions!! Come and join the fun!!

Idiom of Love

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'

So the word 'absent' means not to be somewhere i.e 'the student was absent from the lesson. Absence is the noun of the adjective absent. To be fond of something or someone means to like them a lot.

So this idiom means that if someone we like, love or care for is away from us, then we like them or love them even more.

Heavy alcohol drinkers have changed this idiom slightly with the idiom

'Absinth makes the heart grow fonder'

:)

Word of the Week - Anonymous

The word of the week is 'anonymous' which means that we do not know who wrote or said something, normally because they don't want us to know their name.

If you send Valentine's cards to people you can put 'anonymous' or a question mark at the bottom and then they have to guess who it's from!

A 'Valentines' look at Chuck

In the picture to the right we see Chuck with a girl kissing him. Clearly, she is one of the luckiest women ever to have been born. She will probably never wash her mouth ever again, nor eat or drink to keep the taste of Chuck alive on her lips!

'Chuck Norris can drown a fish'
