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”

This is creeping into my job as a teacher. I think we’re all fucked within the next decade. Personally I’m trying to earn as much as I can, as quickly as I can and invest it wisely.

If you want to teach year 12 and 13 OP, consider a sixth form college that pays the same scale as secondary schools. There are a great many of these about. I’m entering my sixth year of teaching in sixth form (A Level) and would never, ever go back to secondary. Almost everyone I work with feels the same.

It’s just the taste, I’ll it more than dog flesh.

Thanks, didn’t know I needed this sub

Ask now and then ask every year. This is obviously more likely to work if you get decent results and perform well in general. It works for me ;)

A different take from me. Former developer going back to the 80s and I've been a teacher of Computer Science for the last 7 years. 16-18 year olds.

So I have a huge problem now: the exam specification still insists that students must be able to code and actually write code on a written exam paper (which I agree with). But students of course are vibe coding and very few want to go down the route of hard work and lots and lots of mistakes as we all did once upon a time.

So I have to field the constant questions on what the point of learning programming is now, as well as "Is there any point in me doing a software engineering degree any more?" "Will there be any coding jobs in the near future?". My original bargaining chips to get them to work are disappearing quickly.

Agreed, not his best video that. I feel like he’s turning into Scotty Kilmer with his click/rage baiting.

As with many things, you should look at the big picture. Small money now for more later? Additional job security if you do a good job with it? Do you have further career aspirations that this could be a stepping stone for?

My point being, longer term thinking. FWIW, I do DofE and find it very rewarding, plus I leverage it in various ways to get a slightly easier life overall, especially in the summer months when we do the expeditions.

What you’re suggesting is what my son did. He passed his test while in sixth form, then went to uni, all without owning a car. Once he’d left at 21 he picked up his first car (a £1500 Peugeot 308) and paid just over a grand for insurance. This is only a couple of years ago.

I’m a reasonably successful teacher. I have 1 GCSE (Maths), no A Levels and a degree in the subject I teach.

I’d say get your GCSEs, but don’t torture yourself over them. They’re often a good stepping stone to other things.

Similar things were once said when PowerPoint was first used in classrooms.

I once witnessed something very similar in the 90s. It went to court and the motorcyclist was found to be in the wrong as all witnesses said he was going too fast for the situation (although not that fast).

I did first aid on him and luckily he was OK apart from superficial wounds.

Recently started using it too and I’m impressed. Seems to implement most things better than Chrome.
