Lazy post – have an old B3ta QOTW reply:
Some people shouldn’t be allowed to teach This was recalled by someone much earlier telling tales of scientists doing stupid things. For my sins, I am a science teacher in what would be politely referred to as a ‘Comprehensive’ school. Seeing as we’re in the near-vicinity of several grammar schools, we are in fact more of a bottom-feeder. Needless to say, any illusions I once possessed of being a cross between Mr Chips and Robin Williams in Dead Poet’s Society have been crushed under the sheer weight of imbecility I have to deal with while attempting to be inspirational. Most […]
Read MoreHow to impress people – especially your boss (aka: how NOT to be a numpty*)
So yesterday was my nemesis (you know – Monday). Now for some reason, over Easter we get a lot of bank holidays in the UK. And that, your honour, is my defence for not coming into work yesterday – I thought it was a bank holiday. No really – I did. I got up early and everything, pootled about the house and garden doing stuff – I even got some of my DVDs sorted. Well, the boss laughed (at me!) today when he got in… * Word ‘numpty’ courtesy of Lisa, aged 9¾

Can I just say at half-time: GARETH SOUTHGATE, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWAT! Ok, so the dream is over 🙁 But what a debut – we did show the Champion’s League what it’s all about – good football. No messing about, no hanging back – the men of Spurs have lit up Europe. How many teams are now scared of the the runs down the wings from Lennon and Bale? how much threat from Modric and Kranjcar? Van Der Vaart…where do I start? And let’s not forget Essou-Ekotto and Dawson in defence…fucking awesome… Crouch has done his bit – […]

Monday I was up VERY early to get to Stansted and fly out to Spain. This ended up being a 25+ hour day, so Tuesday when I went into the office, I was a little bit tired…still, got through the day. Wednesday meant a trip to Birmingham to load test a couple of wheel change jacks – again, nice weather and a pleasant drive up. Didn’t take too long to get my security pass and get airside to carry out the testing and I was soon on my way back. Then I hit traffic on the M6 – turns out […]
Read MoreGeeky humour…
So, yesterday morning, I checked my boarding pass for the flight times prior to leaving the hotel, and was somewhat amused by the flight number: Heh – FR404 – ‘flight not found’ I had visions of ‘Lost’ happening – then realised there are no beautiful desert islands travelling from Prestwick to Stansted. Meh. One other thing: it annoys me when I check-in online and have to put my nationality as ‘United Kingdom’ – I’m BRITISH FFS…

Got to Stansted fine. As usual, about 6000000 people going through security. And so the first problem: I’ve been using the same bag for toiletries for about 2 years now and it has a split in it, so I had to put the rest of my stuff through, pay a pound to get another bag, and have them scan my deodorant and toothpaste again. Got ‘bleeped’ as a random so had the pat down search (“Anything sharp on you sir?” said pat down guy “Only my wit” came the reply). Having only notes on me I went to the info […]
