Hey everybody, I went to code club on Wednesday and it was Roald Dahl themed! It was really fun!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Star Reviewer
Nice! That’s sounds cool
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Yeah! I like code club!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
In my school they haven’t started any clubs yet
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Aw, that’s a shame. This code club that I go to, it isn’t at a school but at a library instead.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Ooh I love the library
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Yeah I love libraries too. It’s at Hunslet library but you can do it at Central library as well! It’d fun!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yeah well fun
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Yes it is! Sadly, I’m too old for it now.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yeah, it’s always a shame when you realise you’re too old for something
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
I know, tell me about it. It’s so depressing!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
My school has started clubs now! I’m going to the digital club today
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Oh, great! What’s it like?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
It’s really fun! It’s called digital wizards so I’m going to wear a wizard hat and a cape to the next one as a joke. We do coding and stuff but we also mess around on games.
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Oh, that’s funny! I wish I could come! It sounds like fun!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yeah :)
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
You know, I really think you’re one my best, best friends!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
So sweet :) Same here though. Even though we only talk on here, i don’t have any other friends irl or online who love books :( and you’re also so nice :D
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Really? I don’t think I should be surprised at that anymore, but I still am! Everyone calls me nice, but I think I’d end up going into The School for Evil.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Hehe……I think I’d be joining you too
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
I mean, I really feel like I’m similar to Agatha in a lot of ways! I’m not like Sophie at all.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Same! I think it’s sweet how two opposites are such good friends though.
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Yeah, that’s partly why I liked it so much! (As well as Tedros)
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Nice! I went to a Radio Club and it was really fun!
King Hank Paddington
That’s great!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Thanks
King Hank Paddington
You’re welcome!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
How do I get in and where is it?
Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing
It’s in Leeds, and you have to sign up.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Okay everyone! Big announcement! I’m finding that it’s not quite as lively on here any more, so I’m starting the Awesome Authors club! It was going to be co lead by Empress Magnolia Cuckoo Clock but sadly she disappeared so I’m going ahead without her. It’s her own fault, and really I’m quite mad.
Awesome Authors is for the most extreme book lovers. We will write stories, create quizzes, poetry and more!
Anyway, here’s how you apply! I will be accepting only five people, however there might be more! Just answer the questions below and I will decide who shall partake.
1) Why do you want to apply?
2) Would you be willing to be in every meeting?
3) Have you written any books, poems or other literature before?
4) Tell me a bit about yourself. (No personal info)
5) What ideas would you bring to the team?
Thx!
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
I would like to apply because I love reading , writing books, poetry and quizzes!
I will try to be in as much meetings as I can !
I have written lots of books and poetry in school and even at home I am currently working on BBC’s 500 words 8-11 category (I am writing a spy diary , based off of ‘Murder Most Unladylike’ and ‘Scarlet and Ivy’).
I have a cat , love reading , have a sibling , love school and also I am very interested in art , design and technology.
I would say when there are big book related competitions , I would create quizzes for the website and much more , I will do any job the team wants!
Thank you for listening to my speech ,

Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot
Thank you! I really enjoyed that, and I think it was a great application! I will post a message soon with the members and hopefully you will be on there!
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Thank you!
Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot
Np! I’m sending the results out at the same time as this message so keep an eye out!
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
1. I want to apply because it sounds really cool & fun and because you’re my friend! 2. It depends when the meetings are, so please tell me in advance, but I am around a lot, so yeah! 3. I’ve tried, though I’m not very good , but I wrote a short story a few years back and I make up songs. 4. I really, really love reading and I don’t go to school. 5. I’d bring ideas like e.g. did you know that cyanide smells like almonds? or an idea for a book! ( they just come out of nowhere!) I hope this message comes through soon and I hope to get in the club!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Wow! I’m really impressed! I will be posting a message soon with the results, if you don’t see it then I will tell you here as well! Good luck!
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
No problem! I’m sending the results out now! Keep an eye out!
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Okeydoke!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
:)
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Gratzi mil!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
no clue what that means but I hope it’s good?
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
It means thank you in Italian ( I think?) And I know a little bit of Italian. But it’s probably not obvious to a lot of people because they don’t know any Italian.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
I know some Spanish. Some words are similar
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
By the way did you send me a message, but it got deleted? Because I have 2 messages that go to the same page! If so, please try to send it again!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Oh maybe.
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Hmmm, this happens to me, too!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yes, once you know a bit of Spanish you know a bit of Latin, a bit of Italian, Portuguese, quite a few languages are similar!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yeah! It’s really interesting
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Yes, lots of languages are similar. Like, for example my dad says that Spanish and Scottish are quite similar because in both languages you have to roll your Rs! I like learning languages!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
I didn’t know that! That’s cool. What languages do you learn? You might have told me but I forgot.
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
I am currently learning Spanish and French but I think Italian would be a good language to learn too! My main language is English/ American. I can slightly understand Portuguese too!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Nice! I am learning Spanish with Duolingo, and I am on section three. I also learn Welsh on Duolingo because I am in Wales, and I also learnt a bit of French but most French I do in school. I also speak English as my main language. My family also has a bit of Irish and Dutch, and my mum is from New Zealand! My dad’s family is Welsh though, I think.
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Wow!! I learn Spanish on Duolingo too but I’m on level 5! My mum is American and my dad is English. But I’ve got some German and Scottish ancestry too!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
I know some Spanish. Some words are similar
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Well done! I loved that speech I hope you get in !
Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot
Thank you! I hope you get in too!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer

Eat unlimited cake, but have to eat 2 brussels sprouts on top of the cake for every cake!
OR
Eat unlimited doughnuts, but have to eat every one with a thin slice of blue cheese on it!
Anonymous
Eat unlimited cake!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Cake , it’s just a brussel sprout , you will live!
Corporal Gargoyle Slingshot
Agreed! I love Brussel sprouts
Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing
Donuts. I just love them and blue cheese is alright
Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
Eat cake with brussels sprouts, it is not that bad!
Queen Jewel Unicycle
