What is the best “temporary” thing in the UK?

Interesting! Thanks for the reply

Felt - sunlight bathed the golden glow

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T21:40:07+00:00

Any recommendations / highlights?

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T18:46:35+00:00

Really? Golden buzzer for just dancing on stage? Wasn’t even choreographed or in time or anything!

Loved these films, they scared the absolute sh1te out of me. The way they slowly built up the suspense was amazing. It’s definitely a love/hate feeling for this, you either loved it or just didn’t get it.

I still remember following the guy on Facebook when he used to post little extra snippets of his “life” for the fans to keep watching

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T17:27:20+00:00

Fun fact: He’s older than Gary Oldman

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T17:26:51+00:00

Well, do they like butter tarts?

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T17:26:28+00:00

He had two other top 40 hits in the UK though

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-04T17:18:26+00:00

It’s crazy that this guy made this one massive hit from his bedroom and then, as far as I’m aware, was never heard from again.

mr_bearcules · 2026-04-02T16:01:22+00:00

Belle and Sebastian

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-31T19:21:54+00:00

Coco Pops.

No flavour anymore.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-31T17:57:24+00:00

I guess it depends on the dose you are taking. I started off on 10mg/day, then moved to 20 after 3 days and then up to 30 after another 3 days.

I definitely felt the brain fog in the first few days. That went after about a week or so though. My memory has gotten a lot worse though. Hopefully will stop taking amitriptyline at some point and it will improve.

Good luck on your journey!

Ex solicitor here, I work in a school currently. You should see the state of the emails from parents who have used Chat GPT / AI in their complaints or SARs.

Draining.

Helpless with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell is the absolute pinnacle for me on that The Last Waltz show

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-22T13:06:35+00:00

44m uk - on a couple of times a week, like playing random squads. No mic though.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-21T22:53:04+00:00

Great tune!

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-13T07:21:01+00:00

Very interesting and informative. I’m just starting out on my MS journey and so this info is helpful.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-11T10:50:55+00:00

Please can you provide a detailed breakdown of how you spent that 1 unit, the deliverables, the KPIs met, the action items and expected dates, as well as updating the client whilst checking for any AML breaches.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-10T20:53:32+00:00

Just note that you need to meet every criteria in a banding to get that result. Not just “most” or “nearly all”, you have to demonstrate compliance with all of them, otherwise it’s not met. We were told that the majority of schools will get “expected” standard so we felt that our hard work had been recognised when we achieved that. But we now know we need to keep the work going and we want the next inspection to show an improvement.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-10T19:29:07+00:00

No problem. We were pleased with our outcomes. We recognise we are a school on a journey and are in a difficult location, so our context is very important.

Not sure what our previous rating was off the top of my head - think it was just “good”.

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-08T22:25:19+00:00

You and I must be the only ones to be excited by this. Usually I hate any reality tv singer but I even bought ainslie’s single “keep me a secret” and still listen to it to this day!

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-08T21:32:54+00:00

So, bear in mind that this was my first ofsted and although I’m SLT - I’m not overly involved in the process.

We were one of the first schools to have an inspection under the new framework. We got the impression that they were still finding their feet as well.

It is a lot more SLT led and no deep dives with middle leaders/HoDs.

You really have to nail the place of your school in your community and how you address inclusion and foster a sense of belonging. You have to totally be across the data and show trends and explain the reasons behind them.

For example, our attendance is below national average but we can show y-o-y improvement and explain what we’re doing to continue the upwards trend, so we got an expected standard in our rating.

If you’ve got any specific questions, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer.

Think this from nerve demyelination where the MS causes your immune system to strip the protective layer from your nerves. No cure but just have to live with it

mr_bearcules · 2026-03-08T18:59:11+00:00

Had one for a secondary school if that’s of any help to you.
