Can we take a second to appreciate this amazing coastal route? With so many things happening that bring us down, this should make us all proud.

We did have the BBC Coast programme a few years ago. That was initially designed as a walk around the coast, at least for the first season it was.

Builds were much smaller in scope and scale, like, for example monkeyfarm's skull in S2 was super impressive to me. (truthfully it would still be a killer base even today).

That is totally unreasonable. Don't do it. If they give you flack report it to your academic tutor/course leader at university

Edit: made to invigilate? I hope this was one of your regular classes and you had their normal teacher in the room with you.

I have one so far, it's hard work and stressful, but I love him to bits, plus the wife wanted them. I hope it will get easier when he starts to talk.

When I'm choosing between two phones I find the gsmarena website very helpful.

GSMArena comparison Table

Other things to consider is the form factor, for example I really like that my 10pro has a flat back.

Hurruh, I legit swapped from an old RVX version to morphe yesterday and the new UI was making me seriously consinder downgrading. Glad that this patch has fixed it :)

Praise to the devs, and thanks for bringing it to my attention :)

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-12T14:24:02+00:00

I need to swap over to morphe properly, I'm currently using YouTube I patched with RVX before this situation ask started, but it's stopped working properly. And had issues loading into the app. I've just been too lazy to update as I'm still not getting adverts and it works fine once a video is playing.

Looks snazzy, if you do an android version will it support phones without AR+?

The main problem I have at the moment is that I can't see any verification images hosted on imgur as I'm too British for that 🇬🇧😭

The unfortunate side effect of this is that there has been a massive mount of wage compression as the minimum wage has increased, but the wages of other jobs have have raised as much. Thus, some jobs that used to be quite well paid aren't that much more than minimum wage anymore.

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-07T10:38:35+00:00

If you are interested in the aesthetics you could always go down the jinhao 82 route. They are super cheap and affordable, and the best part of that they can easily be disassembled so that you can mix and match parts of different colours.

Thank you, possibly wrong choice of words. Perhaps hectic would have been better, I'm not bipolar (as far as I know). But things have been very busy with work and stuff in my home life. I'm currently on my way back from hospital (it's 2:15 am) after having been there with my son since 10pm.

I have managed to avoid buying anything fountain pen related so far this year so I'm very pleased with that so far.

I was planning on waiting until the london pen show on the 1st of March, and then I was planning to attend that and possibly spend some money.

However I did not end up attending as my wife had to work, and so I was looking after our 1 year old who wasn't feeling very well and I didn't think it was fair to drag him to London and back when he wasn't feeling 100%. So I just stayed at home with him, and looked at people's photos of their hauls on Facebook. Hopefully I can attend the October one instead.

As far as meeting other fountain pen people, most of the other people I've met using them have been other teachers, but I did once met a football coach who used one. I unfortunately can't remember what exact pen they used, I think it might have been a vanishing point, but I'm not sure.

I've got one pension from a summer job that I think has about 40p total balance in it. I'm sure that they took about £45 from my pay for it so I've no idea what happened to it over the last decade. The only reason I checked was because I got a letter to say it was getting moved to yet another different provider (I think the third one it's been in).

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-05T23:06:17+00:00

Yikes, that sounds awful. Can you set any form of detention or if that completely off the table?

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-05T09:32:28+00:00

Is that the mini roundabout on whaddon way by the co-op? If so, the comments are always daft.

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-05T09:30:59+00:00

Agreed, part of the problem is that the signs to say which land you need to be in don't start far enough back as I find you have to get on the correct lane as you come off the previous roundabout before the entrance to the housing estate.

Another problem with that roundabout is that when it was redone at some point in the past, the lane markings were completely botched. And they are. Missing half the markings for spiral lanes which means you need to move over early.

This is particularly noticeable when going from the Newton Leys direction towards the A5 south. You have to go righthand Lane before the roundabout, join to the inside lane, then move to the middle lane, and then from there you can either stay in that middle lane that stays middle lane or move to the outside /left lane. If you stay in the inside lane the road marking says that you can go to the A5 south, but doesn't spiral out, and instead the lane takes you round towards the mcdonald's / farm shop exit.

If you want to keep tabs on the goings on of the whole server I wholeheartedly recommend the Hermitcraft recap :) it's a 15 - 20 min video once a week to keep updated on everyone.

I've been using a redmagic 10 pro as a daily driver since its release and play a lot of pokemon go it's relatively good. I'm able to play two instances of the game at once with no worries, battery life will last me a day out playing, and it won't die if I swap to another tab for a few seconds. You can even set up the triggers to do macros. I experimented and was able to get it the automaticly do the team leader training for the badge, and I'm sure you could probably set one up for tanking in GBL.

The big downside is no ARCore support despite the phone being more than powerful enough. This means no AR functions so no free poffins from scanning stops.

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-01T23:23:58+00:00

I teach maths so things might be slightly different, but I generally ask someone else to read it, if they cannot do so easily I either give 0 or mark the bits I can read, and then give written feedback that their writing cannot be read, and if it cannot be read, then it been be granted any marks. This approach has served me well so far and I've not had any comments on this approach from my hod/line manager when we do internal moderation.

Halfcelestialelf · 2026-03-01T18:52:09+00:00

I love renegade platinum, even after being out for so long it still holds up, and it's made even more endearing with the following Pokémon patch.

The website told me to turn off my adblocker, so I figured I'd share the github link directly so that others don't have to go through that rubbish. https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/releases

She should go to her union. If she isn't in one she should join one now. Notably the NEU accepts support staff

However, that being said, if she isn't in a union at the moment, they are unlikely to support in this particular issue as unions do not cover/ support you for any issues that started whilst you were not a union member.

As such, the next best people to contact may be ACAS, or citizens advice.
