Liquid Chlorophyll And Sinus

Dinner for None - or the 50th birthday

Tada, on Friday it finally happened: A hoard of Western education, and canteen glutton we burned 50 years old. The completion of half a century means well known to most contemporaries, a radical break with traditional habits. As soon as you realize that you probably no less than half, probably even two thirds of his life has been more or less success, one begins to roll up his life again to new shores break to put on the long lasting affair with the secretary of a marriage proposal the Crown or of the already battered body in the gym at least a remnant of the form to give. So much tells us at least the reading of various novels by Philip Roth, who describes as beautiful as otherwise no one with the failed attempt to compensate for a life crisis by taking up the struggle with the impossible, namely to avoid the illusion of eternal youth aging.
Anders makes the Neston High School. On the occasion its fiftieth anniversary, are reflecting consciously on old values. Here is one to recapitulate what the enormous period of 50 (!) Years has already accomplished everything, here we celebrated his age, in contrast to sun-tanned Karrierejuppies such as Claus Kleber. In the UK, namely the following common practice, especially in the public sector: Success is defined by the length of time that you try with all their might to cover up failure. Institutions such as Eton or Gresham master the already over centuries, and therefore they are fused with the mother country and virtually impossible to imagine. The tradition of fetishism can even mean that the Millennium, on the walls Anglican Church as the birthday of Jesus 2000te propagated on colorful signs, if only out of respect for the durability of the Messias calls to worship (Worship Him Here! ").
Since it is a school and Neston, with its 50 Lenzen as an educational institution with a tradition rather laughed at, of course, difficult. In this case, we faced the same problem, such as Claus Kleber: Something has to be hergezaubert, which is non-existent, eternal youth on the one hand, on the other by the feeling of reverence for old age. The equality tests, unlike this very remarkable analogy is hardly surpassed in irony, of course, just like the crystal-clear line of argument this derivation.
Now ask the interested reader how the efforts of our little country school looked for in practice? First, I carefully selected the location of the event is mentioned. The Stuart Hall is normally used to every morning, large amounts of students (> 100) at the same time be subjected to disciplinary drill where the sloppy, wearing the school uniform, the race in the corridors or the chewing gum are criticized. Frequently seen in these premises, similar amounts of students at individual tables of a test of breeding, of course, guarded better than occupants of a high-security prison. This place of horror so you have tried a little ambience to give. The Odour of sweat and cheap floor wax was despite great efforts not to counter, white tablecloths and kitschy balloons with gold lettering ("Neston High, 50 Years of Learning") is awarded it a little festive atmosphere, albeit to a deserted silver wedding. No expense has been spared in catering: A semi-professional bunch of ex-students who imagine a run of high-end catering facilities, advanced with a counter made of plywood and a rotatable Spirituosenkarussel of silver-coated plastic, it's thirsty for the countless to provide throats. The special prize, with the school they probably hypocritical their services have been squeezed, was of course made by overpriced beer prices up for that. The food, typical British ale in Beef ", or" Beef in Ale "(choke) was developed by the teachers of domestic science to prepare and you could vividly imagine what the culinary failure of this nation is based.
Musically then broke all conditions all the dams was also not spared of live music. A chemistry teacher had persuaded his band "XNS" to advance the school's birthday party this weekend evenings, the usual pensioners who torture usually with bad Beatle covers. allowed for this special occasion enjoy the festival community of Neston High on the nearly spherical sounds. had to highlight of the evening, the "XNS" made by bad jokes and pseudo-funny comments almost unbearable, the band shone with a creative masterpiece and came back as a Beatles look-alikes from the break (in which she, incidentally, properly the Plauze with Beef have fully carved into ale). Bald heads were covered with wigs and sunglasses should have a round of Opis as John Lennon (God rest his blessed) make identifiable. I can not understand how they could then select the slowest and most inappropriate party songs and were able to ignore the dreary mood tough run through their program.
must Bottom line, I say, however, that precisely this inability to ostentation of the event gave her charm and abandoned a lot about the soul of our school, because so down to earth as the speech of Scottish head teacher Steve (Scull!) is also his shop, and have been for 50 years. Compared to the big names seem to Neston High while standing still in a rather shaky, but the fact that the honesty and the decency of their educational philosophy reflects the fact that you can not show off properly, it makes an important and simultaneously charming pillar Neston of society.
