An Apology

On 26 February 2009 at 00:43, I posted a blog entitled “The King is dead! Long live the King!”

This blog made various references not only to Telford College of Arts and Technology but also to its Principal, Doug Boynton OBE and the Vice Principals, Janet Ellis, Ann Griffiths and Chris Scott.

I accept unreservedly that the comments I made about each of them were untrue and defamatory and I withdraw them. I have removed the blog and I will not post anything further about them on this or any other website in the future.

I wish to apologise for any hurt or offence that I caused and I have agreed to make a payment in relation to damages for the harm I have caused to their reputation and in relation to costs.

The wolf and the lamb

Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. 'There's my supper,' thought he, 'if only I can find some excuse to seize it.' Then he called out to the Lamb, 'How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?'

'Nay, master, nay,' said Lambikin; 'if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.'

'Well, then,' said the Wolf, 'why did you call me bad names this time last year?'

'That cannot be,' said the Lamb; 'I am only six months old.'

'I don't care,' snarled the Wolf; 'if it was not you it was your father;' and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and 'WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA' ate her all up. But before she died she gasped out

'Any excuse will serve a tyrant.'


Borrowed from Australian story telling. Hope you don't mind guys, it just is very apt at the moment. I will probably take it off later.
