Whatever Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Rumours at school today of a lockdown happening; apparently someone made an Instagram page about a killer clown coming to our school, and they wanted to find the owner of it. The lockdown was just for absolute safety. The sixth form allegedly had an assembly where they had their phones out and a teacher DM'ed the account. Whoever got a notification was the page owner. However that is a vastly flawed pan and no one was caught. There never even was a lockdown today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Have teachers never heard of silent mode? My sons phone is permanently on silent when he walks into school... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-S Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well if you're going to set something up like that don't use your own phone would be #1 rule for me, nick the heads if you can and use theirs..... Edit: iphones have this wonderful button on the side that puts the phone into silent, it's the only feature I wish Android makers would copy tbh.

Whatever Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 ...as I said, it was a deeply flawed plan! CharlieN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Schools and anything to do with technology is deeply flawed full stop, my sons school introduced a homework "app", the system promptly crashed one day which meant nobody could complete their homework.... Their solution? Give everybody a detention for not handing in their homework... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their solution? Give everybody a detention for not handing in their homework... My school has a homework app and I have to say it is very effective. I get notifications when things are set and due, and you can even submit homework via it. Back on topic: clowns terrify me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 OT: yes it's a great app bar the one hickup (probably the same app, findmyhomework iirc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Just saying, did this so called "clown purge" ever happen on Halloween?? Wouldn't be surprised if it didn't tbh. The cowards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 What clown purge? The only thing we saw related to them was one house that had a sign "No trick or treaters please, baby sleeping. P.S. clowns will be introduced to Lucille, trick or treaters put in a lineup, your choice." Very few got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I went out into a main city centre on halloween and I can confirm I saw only 1 clown. but 2 bananas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 All I was doing during this whole clown thing was googling & searching on Twitter if there were clowns in my town turns out there was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm on a FB which is for residents of the town I live in and someone ran into a chuffing clown the other night while out walking their dog - apparantly there has also been a lot of sightings of red balloons tied to drains (I'm guessing due to IT being in the cinemas and/or people have too much time on their hands) Well I'm not sure how the person didn't soil their pants but instead took a pic of the clown - and this is about 5 mins from my flat ?. I'm not a fan of clowns but I'm ok with them at fright nights etc because you expect it, but I swear if I come across one on my travels I will either have a heart attack, a panic attack or have brown trousers. Doesn't help that the nights are drawing in and I often nip up to the shop early evening when it's dark CharlieN and Whatever 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
