Eye Spy 32: Please Leave Your Message After The Tone
Yes we’re back for another season of You Tube videos and exposing the silly stories that have made it to the pages of various press outlets. The first issue of the new run of Eye Spy features a request video rather than a suggested one and a story emailed to us from Australia – yes it seems we have a global audiences. Not bad going for such a small site like ours. As you may have noticed with our new season comes yet another change of day! This time around you’ll be able to find us on Friday’s.
Top You Tube Video!
As our introduction stated this week’s video isn’t a suggested one but instead requested by several 
readers. It’s the opening titles for the third season of The Tudors, the historical romp which airs in the UK on BBC Two. The conclusion of the second season saw Anne Boleyn’s fall from grace completed and head chopped off and so Season Three steams on to concentrate on Jane Seymour, who has a new head this season, and Catherine Howard. So here, as requested, are the first set of titles for The Tudors season three, which will air in the UK later this year.

[Note: The actual opening titles have since been removed for viewers in the UK for some odd reason, so instead we’ve had to use a fan made title sequence. Sorry about that folks!]
Top Silly Story:
This one was sent to us by a reader in Australia who felt it was very fitting for our Top Silly Story. It isn’t a new story as such but a transcript of an answering machine message left by irritate teachers at an Australian school who were fed up with parents phoning up to complain. Why were they complaining? Well because the school decided that the parents and students should be responsible for missing school and not doing their homework. The parents were not amused that they should have to take responsibility for their own brats and we’re phoning up to complain – and so our naughty teachers decided they had had enough and recorded this message. It’s hilarious but we’re sure the complaining parents didn’t see the funny side – but that’s okay because we do!
The outgoing message:
Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
To lie about why your child is absent – Press 1To make excuses for why your child did not do his work – Press 2
To complain about what we do – Press 3
To swear at staff members – Press 4
To ask why you didn’t get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you – Press 5
If you want us to raise your child – Press 6
If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone – Press 7
To request another teacher, for the third time this year – Press 8
To complain about bus transportation – Press 9To complain about school lunches – Press 0
If you realize this is the real world and your child must be Accountable and Responsible for his/her own behaviour, class work, homework and that it’s not the teachers’ fault for your child’s lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!
If you want this in another language, move to a country that speaks it.
