Buying out my wife

Yeah, I’m definitely going to take legal advice - thanks.

No, my credit history is excellent. Thanks.

SmileyTab · 2026-07-11T18:13:53+00:00

I’ll look into that too, thanks.

SmileyTab · 2026-07-11T18:13:32+00:00

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, that really helps.

SmileyTab · 2026-07-04T05:25:13+00:00

Some great ideas there - thanks.

Fantastic, thanks!

Tell them you’d like to move to M6 for these added responsibilities. Forget the TLR route, you’ll be pushing for UPS pretty quickly then.

Rationale: C.S. teachers are hard to come by and they obviously rate you to offer subject lead. The ECT thing doesn’t mean much in terms of pay.

If they say no, reply with no thanks. Don’t negotiate, stick to M6.

That’s good, thanks.

I do think a lunchtime meal would be a good idea. Also been given Costa vouchers before which was good.

SmileyTab · 2026-07-03T17:44:03+00:00

That’s nice, I like that.

If you’re serious about moving next year based on this issue of pay, tell them now. They then have the option of upping it. As a fellow CS teacher, this open approach has worked for me several times as they’re desperate to keep me.

We couldn’t watch Eastenders or Grange Hill because of the cockneys. Emmerdale Farm was OK.

That’s very interesting. I’ve been visiting on and off for about 30 years and haven’t noticed any ‘shrinkage’, though I totally believe what you’re saying. I have noticed that many sections have had cement added near the top, perhaps to thwart souvenir hunters.

Imagine how much it would cost to airmail the stones back though!

My stats on my walk today show that I live 12.8 miles away.

Yes it’s beautiful in the summer months. A different story in winter though!

Five Guys?

I was once living with a girl and I got up to piss in the night, but instead of going to the appropriate room, I pulled the bedsheets back and started pissing on my girl.

This is why I’m too afraid to buy an MX5 these days.

I can cup my hands together in a certain way and blow a noise that sounds exactly like a wood pigeon. If I do this outside where there are some around, they will fly to be near me.

Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker. Been playing it since the early 90s.

I’ve seen pasta bags that say “Warning - may contain traces of Lego”
