Head teacher shocks pupils by eating spider Indeed such is Aydin Onac’s reputation that he was even awarded a £4. London secondary. But his latest methods may prove a little difficult to stomach, after he stunned pupils at his new school by eating a tarantula in front of a packed assembly.

Recreating the sort of stunt usually seen on reality show, I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here, Mr Onac ate the baked spider, in order to raise money for a new sports and drama centre at St Olave’s Grammar School in Orpington, Kent. While some of his pupils delighted at seeing his discomfort during the ordeal, others were said to be upset, and at least one parent complained that it set a bad example to youngsters. Mr Onac only took over at the highly rated St Olave’s school last month, after resigning from his previous post as head of the Fortismere School in Muswell Hill in London. When he joined Fortismere School in 2. But despite some initial opposition, he oversaw a significant rise in exam results, with the number of pupils achieving five good GCSEs rising from 6.

Prankster Kirsty Matthews, from Dudley, filmed herself breaking up a dead tarantula with her hands before placing its legs and body on top of the grated cheese. The tarantula hawk wasp could scare anyone to death. Not only is it up to two inches long and three inches wide, but the females actively hunt tarantulas.

Mr Onac, whose school serves more than 9. He explained: “It wasn’t until I opened the container and saw how big it was that I started to feel very nervous. When all the students came into the great hall and I realised what I had let myself in for, and that there was no way out, then I really started to panic.” He added: “It tasted quite salty, and a little bit like burnt chicken.

It felt crunchy and very dry in the mouth, like eating those very dry cheese biscuits, so it was difficult to swallow. As I was eating it I was thinking about the quickest route to the cloakroom and whether I would still be alive by break- time.” The spider was sourced from Cambodia, where they are farmed and eaten by locals as a delicacy, and Mr Onac has insisted its importation complied with British and EU guidelines. The spider are usually deep fried and the cooking process negates the effects of any toxins the spider carries. But while he has insisted the stunt was ethically sound, not everybody connected with the school is in agreement. One parent, who did not wish to be named, said: “It's all very well raising money, but why does he have to behave as if he's taking part in I'm A Celebrity?

Head teachers, especially ones of his calibre, should not be copying people like Jordan or Joe Swash and eating exotic animals. I don't care if it is responsibly sourced, if children get the wrong idea then they'll think it's OK to go around eating spiders.” Another parent said: “I know that these spiders are farmed in Cambodia and considered a delicacy there, but we're not in Cambodia, we're in Orpington and in Orpington we don't do things like this." But a member of the teaching staff said they were full of admiration for Mr Onac’s actions. He said: “It was a sight that I for one never thought we would see in the great hall. We all thought he was incredibly brave.” St Olave’s was founded in 1.

The series led the spy- fiction craze on television, and by 1.

Several episodes were successfully released to theaters as B movies or double features. There was also a spin- off series, The Girl from U. N. C. L. E., novel and comic book series, and merchandising. With few recurring characters, the series attracted a large number of high- profile guest stars. Props from the series are exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the museums of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other US intelligence agencies. The series won the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Show in 1. Originally, co- creator Sam Rolfe wanted to leave the meaning of U.

N. C. L. E. ambiguous so it could refer to either "Uncle Sam" or the United Nations.[1]: 1. Concerns by Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer's (MGM) legal department about using "U. N." for commercial purposes resulted in the producers' clarification that U. N. C. L. E. was an acronym for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement.[2] Each episode had an "acknowledgement" to the U. N. C. L. E. in the end titles. Background[edit]The series consists of 1.

It was produced by Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer (MGM) and Arena productions. The first season was produced in black and white. Ian Fleming contributed to the concepts after being approached by the show's co- creator, Norman Felton.[3] The book The James Bond Films says Fleming proposed two characters, Napoleon Solo and April Dancer (later appearing on the spin- off series The Girl from U. N. C. L. E.). The original name was Ian Fleming's Solo.[4][page needed]Robert Towne, Sherman Yellen, and Harlan Ellison wrote scripts for the series. Author Michael Avallone, who wrote the first original novelisation based upon the series (see below), is sometimes incorrectly cited as the show's creator. Solo was supposed to have been the focus, but a scene featuring a Russian agent named Illya Kuryakin drew enthusiasm from the fans and the agents were paired.[5]Premise[edit]The series centered on a two- man troubleshooting team working for multi- national secret intelligence agency U. N. C. L. E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement): American Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn), and Russian Illya Kuryakin (David Mc.

Callum). Leo G. Carroll played Alexander Waverly, an English head of the organization. Barbara Moore joined the cast as Lisa Rogers in the fourth season. The series, though fictional, achieved such cultural prominence that props, costumes and documents, and a video clip are in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library's exhibit on spies and counterspies.

H. R. U. S. H. represented, nor was it ever used as an acronym. In the U. N. C. L. E. novels written by David Mc. Daniel it is the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity,[6] described as having been founded by Col. Sebastian Moran after the death of Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls in the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Final Problem". T. H. R. U. S. H.'s aim was to conquer the world.

T. H. R. U. S. H. United States and the Soviet Union – had cooperated in forming and operating the U. N. C. L. E. organization. Similarly, when Solo and Kuryakin held opposing political views, the friction between them in the story was held to a minimum. Although executive producer Norman Felton and Ian Fleming conceived Napoleon Solo, it was producer Sam Rolfe who created the global U.

N. C. L. E. hierarchy and included the Soviet agent, Illya Kuryakin. Unlike the CIA or MI6, U. N. C. L. E. was a global organization of agents from many countries and cultures. Cups Of Water In A Gallon.

The creators decided an innocent character would be featured in each episode, giving the audience someone with whom to identify.[3] Despite many changes over four seasons, "innocents" remained a constant – from a suburban housewife in the pilot, "The Vulcan Affair" (film version: To Trap a Spy), to those kidnapped in the final episode, "The Seven Wonders of the World Affair". Episodes[edit]Solo – the pilot[edit]Filmed in color from late November to early December 1. Lever Brothers soap factory in California, the television pilot made as a 7. Ian Fleming's Solo and later shortened to Solo.

However, in February 1. Italian Sub Recipe. James Bond movie producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli demanded an end to the use of Fleming's name in connection with the series and an end to use of the name and character "Solo", "Napoleon Solo" and "Mr. Solo". At that time filming was underway for the Bond movie Goldfinger, in which Martin Benson was playing a supporting character named "Mr.

Solo". The claim was the name "Solo" had been sold to them by Fleming, and Fleming could not again use it. Within five days Fleming had signed an affidavit that nothing in the Solo pilot infringed any of his Bond characters, but the threat of legal action resulted in a settlement in which the name Napoleon Solo could be kept but the title of the show had to change. The role of the head of U.

N. C. L. E. in the pilot was Mr. Allison, played by Will Kuluva, rather than Mr. Waverly played by Leo G. Carroll, and David Mc. Callum's Illya Kuryakin only had a brief role.
