I know I'm an old duffer and we didn't use that sort of language when I were a lad, but I'm reliably informed that KS1 is for kids of 5 to 7. </p> <p>Now, if we are to believe your picture in NB's "Playmate of the Month" or whatever it's called, you must be at least 22, which means that either:<br /> a) the picture has been faked by those clever BBC technicians who gave us "Frozen Planet - Not"<br /> b) you have mastered the art of ageing backwards and will soon be offered the part of Doctor Who, if you don't revert to a foetus first; or<br /> c) You are an extremely slow learner for your age and have decided to start back at the beginning and hope to finally achieve your PhD by the age of 98; or<br /> d)That only leaves the possibility that you might be some sort of teecher, but that's not an option, because teechers are all old and wrinkly and smoke pipes - and the men are worse. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35704#post-100753 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:10:40 +0000 Mary Evans 100753@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you, thank you my little Biscuit crumbs, this is most enlightening.

HBO's Rome, two likely lad legionaries witness the events of the Roman Revolution without understanding them.

I am going back to school next year and am putting together some thoughts for my Key Stage 1. I need to find some films that examine the life of a historical figure through the eyes of someone else on the periphery of history - ie, <em>Amadeus</em> dramatising Mozart's life through Salieri, <em>Anonymous</em> viewing Shakespeare through Edward de Vere or <em>The Other Boleyn Girl</em> (bad adaptation of a much better novel) showing the life of Anne Boleyn through her sister Mary. Any thoughts? The characters need to be pre-modern media (ie, no moving footage of them would exist) and, crucially for this particular crowd, not feature in a porn flick. Any help greatly appreciated, I will dedicate my 25m swimming badge to you all. Mxx </p>
