The Phantom Blue Tack Stealer
All was well at St. Saviour's Primary until the blue tack phantom crawls in and eats all the blue tack the school has.

Once upon a time at St. Saviour's Primary, all was well and coaches going in and out for school trips. Until one of the teachers asked me to go to the class next door to ask for blue tack and they couldn't find any so I went to the next class, they didn't have any, and so on. Until I was at the last class, their teacher said "No, but I do have white tack." I took that and went back and told my teacher. The next day there was news on TV that said, "there is no blue tack anywhere, companies that make blue tack say that there was a mysterious man that came into the shop and used the toilet. As far as they know, they went back to the factory and all the blue tack was gone, News later on at 6:00 pm tonight, bye!" "They are having the same problems as we have been having," I thought. Later days were shorter of blue tack and later there was no blue tack in the world!
I met the phantom blue tack stealer and I caught him eating the blue tack. Legend was foretold that later he died from an illness which came from the white tack. Blue tack was actually really healthy! It had vitamin A, C, D!

fake story, blue tack is not healthy.

coat-of-arms

By Jim Sheng
Heraldry probably began with the knights in armour. When wearing a helmet in battle or in tournaments a knight could not be recognised; so he used symbols to decorate his shield and surcoat. The surcoat was the loose garment worn over the armour to protect it from rain or hot sun and actually was the "coat-of-arms"; it was decorated on the front and back with the same device as on the shield. The correct expression for entire design is an achievement . An achievement consists of the shield, helmet, rest, wreath, mantling and motto. These are the main parts. To them can be added supporters and a compartment. In the centre is the most important part, the shield . The surface of the shield is called the field  and on it the colourful charges are placed. The shield is called the arms or coat-of-arms  and can be drawn in any shape - in an upright position or slanting, which is the position it would fall into if hung on a peg. In Heraldry it slants to dexter. The helmet denot...

You can find your Wireless Network Key on Virgin Media Wireless Router

By Jim Sheng
We have a new netbook computer, and don't know where to find network key, which is needed to setup wireless connection. A network key may also be called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key. A wireless network key is a security feature that prevents unauthorized users from accessing a wireless network. An unprotected network is an unlocked virtual door, anybody within range can piggyback on the network undetected. I use Virgin media broadband with a Virgin media wireless router, this router has a WPA key taped on the router, that WPA key is an English word consisting of 10 letters. To tape network key on the router is a good idea, because we may never lose or forget a wireless network key as long as we possess the router.
