And I’m about to do a Teams meeting about my daughter’s school trip to Costa Rica. Sounds like your daughter will have a great time. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 If I was paying £5,000 a year I would expect, actually no I would *demand*, that my child was taken on drunken stripper holidays. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was meant to be a trip to an orangutan sanctuary in Zanzibar this summer but it was binned because of COVID so it’s working in a macau sanctuary in Costa Rica instead next summer. Should be good practical experience for looking after the local macau population back here in Scotland. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I've never been to Costa Rica, but from my time working in the US, it appears to be a destination of choice for blokes in their 40s and 50s to go together on ahem..........."golfing holidays".

There's a parrot or macaw or that sort of thing flies about the farms near the reservoir at the top of Clydebank. Or maybe just a really fabulous pigeon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were paying £5,000 a year, your child wouldn't be at that school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Went to France/Belgium with the school when we were 15, a great time was had by all, as you could get in bars and drink the draught lager. Steve McQueen (not the actor) over did it though and was taken into the showers and got his arse booted by the history teacher. Proper discipline, not like the namby pambys nowadays. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas looking after the orangutans would have been good practice for being a steward at Parkhead. ETA: I thought orangutans came from Asia, not Africa?

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 We had a primary school teacher, Mrs Hutchison (Irish) who was an alky. Permanently pished and you could tell. Staggering about the class. I once caught her having a pish onto a mattress round the back of the flats near where I used to stay. Not exactly strip club material but its all Ive got. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
