The plebs and the plebeian classes, goats and strange food


So Monday back at the school to tell all of our great trip to the subterranean world, Professor Hardwigg is being very smug because he not only found a new world that he has named but he managed to get most of the pupils back to the surface with only a few loses, when the general view was we would all perish and never be seen again.  The headmaster seems a little disappointed he said the loss of the school party would have been very useful as it would have removed all the right people from the new academy.

It appears the school trip to the Swiss Alps had a few problems too which started with the posh luxury coach breaking down on the motorway and the pupils all had to push it for two miles. Then the ferry was delayed due to an industrial dispute brought about by Young Tarquin, Octavia, Peaches and Fabien calling the crew plebs and that their families were all from the plebeian classes. The pupils were then told that the first class overnight cabins were double booked and they would have to spend the night in the engine room like the other plebs.  Then when they got to the Swiss Alps there was no snow due to global warming so the headmaster decided that a march across the Alps would be good for morale…. It was not.

We asked if they had met interesting tribes and fascinating creatures like the Yeti, but they only met a rather noisy school party from Clacton on Sea and Goats. Well as we all know Goats have an incredible sense of smell and the wild goats of the Alps could smell the school mascot (the wild goat of the school roof) on their clothes which resulted in a large male trying to mate with young Targuin. Which in turn lead to him having an asthma attack, well no one knew what to do with a large male goat having an asthma attack, especially when it had young Tarquin pinned down in a compromising position? Tarquin is also much happier now that the Youtube video has been removed after complaints from the public and the Goats Lovers Society of Great Britain.



I think the final straw on the trip was when the rather posh hotel food took a turn for the worse; apparently for some reason shortly after Octavia called the head chef and his staff foreign plebs when they severed up a creature that they said was from a strange subterranean world and was a local delicacy but it did not like Octavia and tried to eat her fingers.  


OK that’s it for now I am drumming tonight so need to go and do things of importance like . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . AH DAMN I forgot, but it is important I am sure.

  1. I wass hoping to paint, but it is t00 windy, so I used that as an eXcuse to read and cook. I cooked my new highly modifed gumbo again, and it was perfect. I am reading blogs and reached the halfway point of The Hydrogen Sonata. The nice thing about journeys under the earth are lack of sunburn, but this must be tempered with the chance for lava burn. Did you encounter any lavaesque risks, and did you count them?

    The was a veRy blue fish. It is by daffynition a blush. Hahahahahahahahaha

    1. I was rather pleased with the picture of the fish I think it had decided it was not scared of me and was just going to look at me, OK the camera and stare us out.

      I had to Google the definition of daffynition

      Lava was the final thing and why we needed to return, we ran into lavaesque problems and so we returned to the surface.

    1. AH yes but you must admit that goats are fundamentally much easier to build on than the sea. . . . . AH OK maybe goats are not as easy to build on as the sea, I'm not entirely sure as I have never tried a build on either. I blame that Google Earth it has always had problems with goats.......
