I made hay while the sun was shining. Got my boss to buy a good old one-armed bandit paper cutter and a laminator for those supplementary materials you get in the Inside Out /Reward Resource Packs/NEF Teacher�s books etc. Can�t believe they�d survived without these essential pieces of kit!

After I arrived in Daegu, I scoffed at the old one-armed bandit in my first school and wanted a proper rotary paper cutter like we had back home.

Problem was, when I finally got it, it was a small A4 job where you had to lock down every piece of paper with a locking device before you could start swipin�.

I was made to look a right fool for putting so much energy into persuading the boss to get that...

Finally I had to eat my hat and admit that one-armed bandits are the best! Might risk losing a few fingers but by �eck are they quick!

Once my friend almost cut my finger off with a one armed bandit. Scary stuff.
