Settle down class...

It's a Get It On homework week and each night will have a different subject. Please set aside enough time to complete your homework and find a quite place in the home to concentrate so you wont be disturbed when you try to complete your suggestions. All the homework set this week is expected to be completed by all bloggers. Some sections will be manageable and others may be more of a challenge. If any of you fail to complete your homework on time then you will need to send a note to Miss Babs and she will come up with an appropriate punishment...
I found some rules on a website which may be useful for those of you who are supervising blogger's homework:
"You might want to make a simple homework chart and put a sticker or a smiley face on it every day that homework is completed without a fuss (obviously, this is for younger bloggers!). A certain number of stickers earn a special treat. Or, you may tell your blogger that if he does his homework all week, you will take him out for ice cream or rollerblading. Don't over-reward or put yourself in the position to treat, treat, treat every weekend. I've said it before, but it absolutely bears repeating: Your job is not to bribe your blogger into doing homework!"
Tonight's subject is foreign languages. This can be 'songs sung in...' or included in the title of the song or the artist. You now have just over six hours to complete your homework which must be handed in by ten past six...

The Silencers would also fit the bill - Sacred Child has some lines of French within it.
Although my own level of French ability is more like Bill Wyman - Je suis un Rock Star!

Amoureuse - Kiki Dee
Peligro - Gotan Project truly wonderful
Afro - Left - Leftfield
I went to see the might and awesome Leftfield on Saturday night.This track is in a foreign language, I'm just not sure which one.It's the first time I've ever gone to a gig armed with ear plugs which I wore for part of the gig - so my hearing's not too bad today.Quite extraordinary ambience, amazing light show, astonishing sound(even with ear plugs) and a couple of thousand extremely happy people. The Barrowland was literally jumpin'
more to follow, no doubt.
regardez youse
