What ho chaps and chapesses,
I need a request.
My new class is doing 'postcards' in the new year.
In this age of faceache and antisocial networking, it would be great if I couldhave some postcards for them to read, especially from distant parts of the globe or UK. They are six, so nowt rude please!
Just a sentence saying who you are and what you do, with a little bit of where you live and or pictures of local landmarks would be fabulous.
Address available by pm.
Thanks
Will
I'll send you something, if Runcorn isn't too mundane.
I'll go for that, Will.
I'll get a card in the next few days.
Cheers - Phil.
I'll happily send them a card, I am lucky enough to live in the Yorkshire Dales so can send a picture of somewhere nice.
Thank you all gents.
If you want i can send you a christmass card from Belgium! If that's ok, pm me the adress. I'll write a line or 3 in my best english ;)
I'll send a card showing the red squirrels of Formby.
Ill look
I think I might have a post card from the Falklands.
Regards
Sean
I send one from the antipodes if you send me the address and you think it will arrive in time
What age are they?
let me know and I can see if I can get something sorted - I will annoy a class of kids to send something :)

Something else for them to learn about ;)
Thanks Paul!
Got five out of six continents now (doubt we'll get Antarctica).
Probably no pendraken fans in antarctica, the paint might freeze...
Ps: Is it ok if i type out the text? I doubt they would appreciate my handwriting :P

Nahhhh go for handwriting.... better for the kids to see people writing
Handwriting would be better, but if it's that bad...
Have to find the fine point 'bic', then.... ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sheep ?.....Hills ?.....Rain ?.....Or a dragon ?

Now a card of a dragon grabbing a sheep on a hill while it's raining, that would be awesome...

How about a card of a Welshman grabbing a sheep on a hill while its raining.Then Will can explain the alternative use of Wellies :D
- sorry just seen "They are six, so nowt rude please!" :-[
PS - Hope Techno does not see this or he will be feeding German paras to the Puppy :D
I bought two postcards today for the purpose of a) helping you out and b) getting my kids to write a postcard... see once a teacher always a teacher. One is a map of Shetland (original I know) the second is a lamb wearing a Fair Isle jumper probably not so original.
If you would like me to enquire of my Primary department and see if they would be willing to chip in I can do. I finish as Head teacher this Friday so it will be up to them to carry it through ( I won't be able to pester :D)
Cheers
S
Completely up to you. I've got two other class offers already.

I dont want to overload you kids with a third lot :)
:D
Surprisingly, there aren't any postcards of Runcorn any more. Nor indeed of Widnes.
So, I've popped over to Max Spielmann and turned one of my photos into a postcard.
It is now in the post.
Hope it gets there reasonably intact!
Thanks FSN, great idea!
Hopefully it didn't bankrupt you!
We shall be doing ours tomorrow
Absolute rubbish selection here at the moment......Best one I could find was of a cromlech, not too far way from Techno Towers.
The two 'hills' ones I got were a complete lie.....I mean....Blue sky and sunshine.....Yeah, right.....and don't ask about the one of the dragon.
Could I find any of sheep ?....Not a chance.
Should have done what Nobby did.....MY pictures of the castles near here are loads better than the postcards I found....(Said he modestly :-[)..and the picture of the local village....AWFUL !
Cheers - Phil
It doesn't have to be special Phil, a cromlech is still impressive.
The decline of the British Postcard industry - discuss.
Just about to take it to the post, Will. ;)
Says the man who read the addy incorrectly and had to stick an extra letter in the name of the school. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
Cheers - Phil
On its way !
Cheers - Phil
Cheer sir!

my wifes Grandad had another alternative use of wellies for castrating cats...
Mine went out on thursday. Just a simple christmass card but added a nice picture of the "atomium" for your class to discuss it's 'uselesness' ;D
Is it me or is writing something for kids age 6 that you don't know hard? Didn't really know what to write really :-\ :-\
Thank you.
Thought the whole point of the atomium was its pointlessness. :-\
It was great when I visited it last.

Funny thing is, it was built for the world exposition and was planned to be removed 6 months after that. But as people just came over to look at it, they decided to keep it .
So...
Techno, FSN, PaulR, petercooman. Maenoferren and quite a few other's cards have arrived so far, will post piccies of the whole lot soon.
Thanks all.
Will
:-bd
Good to hear, I hope they work well with the class :)
Hoping my post office has restocked with postcards of the famous Formby red squirrels. Unfortunately they were out of stock just before Christmas.
errrrrrr mine are on their way tomorrow ...sorry.... twas the kids that reminded me :-[ :-[ :-[
hopefully it isnt a one day project
Mrs T found some cards of one of the castles near 'home'.
Must have bought those YEARS ago.
If she hasn't hidden them again, I'll send one of those to you as well, Will ;)
Cheers - Phil
I'm a bit late on this Will, had man flu over xmas, if you want one from Hungary pm me your address, i might have one with my village on.

I understand that postcards of grey squirrels chase them away.
The girls cards arrived yesterday, the class loved the lambs in jumpers!

What a nice way to use the forum.
I'm guessing the pin you used to point out Belgium was bigger than Belgium on that map ;D ;D ;D

Excellent little project, it's something I've always fancied doing with Pendraken orders, sticking pins to track where in the world our little men are being sent.

Lots or real Ale too.
One of our club members is half Belgian half Welsh, he is a budding Gastrophile and a member of CAMRA (campaign For Real Ale ) seems to know every where by is food or beer.
Conversation go
Orcs " Do you know Upper Bigglesthwaite?"
Taffy " Yes there is a pub there called "The Wierd Wargamer", serves an ale that taste like sweat combined with acrylic paint!
OR
Orcs :-I have just been to Barcelona?
Taffy:- There is a lovely resturant there that serves Bulls testicles from the previous days bullfight! :-&
Actually I revise my comments Ian is correct the pin is more interesting
Could someone please take that massive pin out my roof?
