No matter what students bring to future "show and tells" at Orchard Junior School in the Southampton area of England, they will never be able to top this year's spectacle that shut down and evacuated the school.
One bonkers little tyke brought in a bit of vintage "unexploded ordinance" to show his mates.
The school quickly evacuated all the students, called the police, and texted the parents:
Schools are being closed & evacuated - please collect your child from Noadswood field ASAP.
Imagine getting that little note in the middle of the school day.
Laura Holloway, a mother of one of the students was at work at the time. She said,
It was so worrying. Another parent had called saying there were police everywhere. I knew my youngest would have been so scared.
But, she added:
Both schools seemed to deal with it all very well and had the kids lined up and checked off - it must have been very upsetting for everyone involved.
Once the students were out, the police showed up and sent in the bomb squad.
The police's full statement said: ‘We were called at about 1.30pm to a report that a child had brought what may have been a potentially unexploded ordnance to Orchard Junior School.
‘The school was calmly evacuated and a disposal team attended to take the item away to be destroyed as a precaution.'
Not an easy task by any means.
The real question everyone wants to know is "What kind of ‘historic incendiary device' are we talking about here?"
This is England after all. They've been blowing stuff up and getting blown up for centuries.
It could've been anything from a 16th-century mortar to a WWII hand grenade to that morning's beans on toast.
14... I would have thought that it was growing up a bit more and willing to take on more responsibilities around the house.
86 now... but yoo nabbed the 00... Congrats... :-)

I hope they Red Team this concept to the max prior to widespread implementation.
These “otters” are certainly going to encounter “gophers” and “moles” intent on intercepting deliveries, either physically or digitally.
Rabbits and Runners.
Smugglers, hackers, and other nefarious types.
Delivery pipe under a targets house?
Bomb set to go off as it goes underneath.
They were coming for me. I had no exit. So I went through the delivery portal...
At least I didn’t post a picture.
Most of my menu items are in the low/no-prep vein; I rarely do stuff that demands much advanced work or cleanup afterward.
So, on the rare occasion when I do something that demands some prep in advance, I attempt to make it appetizing so that I feel like it was worth the effort. And, for social occasions, I’ll always put in a little extra.
Portal?
Is the cake still a lie?
Just so long as you get delivered to the correct place.
At least it is back in business.... I hope that stop messing around with the refrigerants... I need to lookup what kind I need for my unit and order some before it is no longer available... they are really being a pain with this stuff...
I wonder how many decades from now until they run the tunnels out this way..... 🤣
Pretty much the same for me... however, Mrs. zz is very expansive in the kitchen when she cooks or bakes...
Good morning. Happy Humph Day!
We had an almost normal evening yesterday. I had to check the traps in the basement for mice. Still none so I think the steel wool I used to plug holes has been effective. As long as they don’t chew new ones before the house is sold.
Mrs. ArGee is going to interview 2 more realtors today. The house may be on the market by next week. Siblings are starting to arrange to get the stuff they are taking.
I managed to cut yesterday’s Wordle score in half.

“Phew” is right...
Government keeps changing what they are allowed to use...
Rain. And... some rain. Had some hail last night, but not real damage at my place. Made a really nice stir fry and watched the storm come in across the park... Impressive when it does that.

When your “protect the earth” mandate is based on pseudo science it’s hard to nail down what is required.
Absolutely, it is the damn epa that has been messing with all of this... grrr
Exactamundo!
