Black Friday

[joeluke]

Am surprised we're allowed to call it this

[Tilly2]

Why?

[Baldric]

Why not?

[DTCwordfan]

it's dark still at 7.30 and it's dark at 5.30, so why not?

[pastafreak]

Don't make something out of nothing.

A school has to call the board a teacher writes on a 'Chalkboard'
'Black List' has been banned , the nursery rhyme ' Ba Ba Black Sheep has been banned, I see the point why is 'Black Friday' allowed ?

[Tilly2]

Eddie, they use interactive whiteboards in schools nowadays. No chalk anywhere!

Pasta pointed out the other day it's in-the-black Friday, the period when retailers first start to make money and their accounts move out of the red.

[joeluke]

Thanks for pointing that out Eddie

but they all knew really

Eddie ....I know of nowhere where the blackboard can't be called a blackboard....another urban myth perhaps ?

Alongside "Person Hole" instead of Manhole perhaps ?

Tilly You don't mean the teacher is not allowed to throw the wooden backed board eraser at an unruly pupil now? Our History teacher was a hot shot with the board eraser , he could hit you right around the ear from 50 paces!

It's still Thursday here.

Mikey I commented a while ago on the possibility of using the term
'Woman Hole' in the interest of equality, but there may be another connotation to the term!

[mikey4444]

Eddie....my Geography teacher had the same skills !

[naomi24]

Eddie, some idiots have changed the words, but Ba Ba Black Sheep hasn't been banned.

[Mamyalynne]

Certainly hasn't nor have most things that these urban myths throw up - it's often small isolated schools/groups with someone in charge who really shouldn't be.

[Quizproquo]

Neither of the things Eddie said have been banned.
Check your facts before posting Eddie. I don't mean that but I hear it said here a lot so why not.

[EDDIE51]

I'm off to play with my Golliwog !

[Mamyalynne]

Why not.
