Oh no! I’m so sorry.

Phew!

Ok. But that needs to be a proper job. I shout at the people standing in the way (or rushing out!) regularly when watching TV coverage of cycling. Idiots.

I used to get emails with messages for students but if I didn’t check my email in the lesson (often, busy teaching and interacting with students) then the message was not passed on.

Yes. Had a student for whom this was the case. I think student would be Y11 now, so still need phone in school! And obviously applies to the many others in this situation.

This was the rule in class in my last school and 99.5% followed it. At start of year with new classes, some needed to learn that I meant it and would enforce it (some teachers didn’t) but they did, indeed, learn!

Hmmm. I had a student who needed phone to monitor type 1 diabetes….

I think being in an essential job where people didn’t appreciate you (plural) carrying on & having to do this whilst unsure how risky it was to go to work every day was genuinely bad. People who WFH & said they were locked down when they could go outside and could shop (at risk to shop workers!) ugh

I know experiences vary but I don’t know where had proper lockdowns outside SE Asia. I wasn’t living alone, so that helped me, and I shopped every other day (on foot) so I got to go out, exercise. I’ve had people from states that were mostly open tell me how damaging lockdown was and … what?!!

How the hell is any of this “rude af”???

Anyway, in person I can easily go into full “I love where I come from and these are the reasons why…” but I’m pseudonymous on here so I will restrain myself.

I learn so much about US (and US regional) culture On Here which has been very useful! Thanks

Delightful moment of realisation for you, though.

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the
- £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends
- the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance

I had a relative who got one of those messages from QEII and two of us (not the recipient but family members) were upset that it was *not* a telegram but a card with a photo of Her Maj on the front!

No, no. He knows his book is fiction. He’s just admitting it. (Jk)

How? How do they not know?

I did get it. It was the moustache. And the fact it was so unlikely.

Recalling the summer when toddler relative wore pants (UK) and wellies. And nothing else.

That poor mother duck!

Stupid food stupid intolerances. (My sympathies from ‘got new food intolerances from Covid’.)
And yeah, I’m not blaming any restaurant and chains can certainly be easier to navigate.

Poor big baby, betrayed.

(Hope all goes well with move, including cat move.)

Is this your parents’ cat?
