Hydrophobic in Hackney
It’s ‘peeback’ time in Shoreditch and Dalston reports the use of paint that urinates back at you. Who first had the idea that Ultra-Ever Dry paint would work like this? Apparently Hamburg beat San Francisco to it.

This is not the real boar’s head, though – apparently they do send one but are not allowed to parade with it, so papier mâché has to do.

A video by Luksan Wunder, apparently, on how to pronounce German. I’m not sure how the speaker gets through without laughing, but presumably they were done one at a time. Thanks to Jacky, who posted it on the pt list.

The name and nature of the school have changed. The teachers also appear less ashamed:
And here is a report on a visit from French pupils:
