I mean, that's just not healthy. There should definitely be time off in lieu for that, even if it's just one day for the two days of weekend!

I mean, that does also sound like an awesome time to me haha 😅

Totally miffed that there was zero payoff for the post credits scene in Thunderbolts* though!

Just went to the cinema by myself (possibly for the first time?) to see Fantastic Four - great film. A hard watch for an emotional sleep deprived father of small children though, be warned if you also fit that bill :)

Man you lot and I are not the same :P it's like when I went on an Ice Skating trip this year, I just could not fathom my colleagues who didn't get on the ice by choice. I had a whale of a time 😃

I'm so confused by this question, why would I not want a free trip to Eurodisney!? Let alone CHOOSE more cover work instead!

It's an insurance thing. In those extreme situations most places will have a disabled/family changing bit that can be used, this place has a disabled changing that could be used

Simple word processed sign that reads "Female's" in large writing, underneath having "No boy's over 8 years old please".

Oh it hurts. It hurts so much. What was great though was my 7yo pointing out the wrongs 😄

Wow, I've got more than 20 I think, it's after 30 years it wipes IIRC 😂 at this point they really should rebrand it to a graduate tax

Ha, it is an awkward word. I tend to use "learners", I'm a 1%er once again :D

But so does everyone here in the UK now, that's my problem lol. It doesn't really bother me that much, just can't bring myself to use the word

Yes sorry, realised after I posted that I should have put quote marks round the word "student". Had a really old school history teacher when I was at school and she would always go on about it. But she also shouted "tuck in your blouse" at everyone 🤷 😜

I'm that way with students for anyone GCSE and below. The word implies to me that they've chosen to be there

If the parents evening one isn't 100% amongst secondary teachers, then there's a non-zero number of liars on Teacher Tapp 😂

A friend of mine was singing Norway's praises on this the other day. They went on holiday and got a hire car, was handed the charge cable so told them they hadn't asked for electric, but it was all they had! Said charging at motorway services different exp overlooking fjords! 😂

I've been laughing solidly for about half an hour at this gif I found in response to some facetiousness in the family chat. My new favourite gif 🤣

NZ has scrapped its mainly teacher-assessed, highly individualised qualification system in favour of exams and a narrower, knowledge-rich curriculum.

Few are mourning the old system, widely seen as unworkable. Teachers' unions are cautiously optimistic.

England once again the template for reform.

The people of Guildford must be outraged to come so low 😂 all the accompanying article needs to do now is rightly refer to it as a town and they'll be rioting 😂

I think it's gotta be me watching Spider-Man: No Way Home. That Andrew Garfield reveal after the months and months of speculation.

See him sillouetted in the distance, me as he comes closer: "wait, he's too tall-HE'S TOO TALL". The reveal then literally had me jumping in the air cheering 😂
