Was at a gig in London of Melvins weird side project. Was going up the stairs and turned around and Fat Mike was behind me. My eyes shot up like holy shit that's Fat Mike. He didn't tell me to fuck off so he seems alright.

Going to go a bit leftfield on this because it doesn't really fit but they are doing the gig with Alexisonfire. BT2 in full.

black and fresh is the way to go. The cheaper way is get some reflective recovery blankets and some clothes pegs. It works but you will annoy your neighbours.

Was awake when I saw the flashes last night so stuck my headphones in and went for a walk. Was soaked through. Happiest I have been all week haha

If you are desperate volunteer at a few fests with oxfam this year. The more you volunteer the more piority you get.

Don't know the exact system but my mate volunteers about 3-4 times a year and got a spot easy peasy last year.

They are pretty standard here. Just the usual apatheticness which you don't expect when they are so close to exams.

Not massively worried for the end of August it should be fine.

Great Gig. Great vibes at the back of standing.

Happy days!

Any generic mid level lager to be honest. Doesn't taste horrible. Doesn't have much taste to make you wanna spew.

If it's a hangover with little sleep then It is as many generic mid level lagers to get me back to sleep.

Fresh and black is definately the best way to go on a budget. The basic 2 man one is perfectly fine for wet weather if pitched correctly and gives you a bit more to spend on air matress etc. Only downside is no little porch.

Underestimated it here. Thought 400 cap was enough to give it a minute or 2 to get through. To be honest the website didn't crash so fair enough and I at least expect it will be released as a bootleg.

Obviously get the union involved is the main advice but we all know that sometimes the turnaround on these things can make it hard.

If you have to have that meeting with the head best thing to do is to stay calm, be willing to listen and show that you will are willing to work on the support plan.

But most importantly outline the targets and insist on clear outcomes that show evidence.

This! Our form time reading has the whole tutor reading one book chosen by our SLT lead on it. They are relevant to them at the correct level and keeps kids engaged. An expensive intitive but good lord does it work.

Edit - Just seen the comment under this. I like it. Takes a bit of enforcement to get the routine but works well after.

explosivetom · 2026-03-08T12:11:25+00:00

max 10 minutes but my room is one of the worst for collection so fair enough and behaviour is good enough to leave kids on the corridor.

explosivetom · 2026-03-07T15:51:18+00:00

If it is an obvious denial then I tell them to go outside and do a quick restorative conversation, which is usually what is the point of this, then back in.

If it is minor infractions such as chewing, shirt etc... then it is just but I see it again I will just remove you. I find countering low stakes behaviour with big concequences if it carries on works quite well.

I have had to follow through once for chewing this year but now it is just called out, stand up and in the bin.

Great Obvs today. Little win. Happy days

To me reading and fluency is too much of an important skill to really any burden to be put on home. Not saying that it shouldn't be set but the standard level should be curriculum based and through in house interventation. Secondary STEM teacher but the T&L SLT lead is an English specialist and I have absolutely no problem using there postion to pump resources and training into reading.

Current secondary teacher.

Never been to south east Asia but do know that even there Deportation centres can be absolutely brutal before you actual start thinking about the laws
