  1. Oh that's witty, you should have your own show.

  3. Donald Trump, in the words of Charlie Brooker, is a bell-end.
  4. You didn't, neither did he accuse you directly of laughing Mr. Paranoid.
  5. I assume that was meant to be humorous?
  6. Bloody Hell 4 years?! I remember watching SSN as the story broke, I almost choked on my bag of McCoys is memory serves me correctly.
  7. Where the **** is Deppo when you need him?!?
  8. That'll do nicely, roll on Saturday!
  9. No tax on gambling winnings either. Bonus!
  10. You know a show has been written by a comic genius when the repeats on GOLD still get belly laughs. RIP John Sullivan.
  11. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-13176049 Now I'm not a member of NASUWT (I'm a member of NUT) but I can't help but feel that by solely blaming parents for pupil's bad behaviour they're making a rod for the collective back of the profession. A case in point is a girl who I teach: She has what you might call a 'notorious' surname and has had a few siblings through the school who have caused problems and because of this, staff automatically expect her to raise hell when in fact she is one of the most polite and well behaved children I have had the pleasure to teach. Yet she is regualarly sent to the isolation room by others and I find it frustrating that some teachers feel that bad behaviour has nothing to do with them; more often than not, it is the incompetent teachers who cause half of these problems by not changing their behaviour management stratagies etc. However, NASUWT have hit upon an important point in the case of an increasing number of pupils who are failing to bring in the most basic equipment yet remember the 'crucial' items such as their iPods. It is staggering the number of parents who expect the school to finance stationary for their children out of it's budget. As I've said on a previous thread, I'm still young enough to be 'in touch' with how to conceal headphones etc yet the baby boomer teachers seem to really struggle with it and it totally undermines any authority they have in the classroom when pupils get away with obvious breaches of a school's code of conduct. It will only take a collective effort from teachers and parents to solve the Conservative party's bee in it's bonnet about behaviour in schools. Giving teachers the power to search pupils is, IMO, a dangerous development, especially as the GTC is being disolved which leaves teachers with prejudices the option to single out a specific minority group. How would we right this wrong TSW? The cane etc is pointless as violence breeds violence (think about the message being conveyed!) so is it purely the school's problem, the parent's problem or, as is my opinion, it takes an effort from both parties working together?
  12. Bloomfield Road the first year they were in the Championship. My ****ing God, what a **** hole.
  13. At least he has a job I suppose.
  14. More a case of WHEN they really struggle. Where is that mong BHA?

  16. northern ****s
  17. what sort of a **** misses a penalty FFS?!
  18. God almighty I hope the 900 or whatever pathetic number we're being forced in to taking to the Withdean bring out a loud rendition of "We don't care about you". Pathetic arsewipes, get off your high horses - who the **** cares?!?
  19. Oh yeah, sacking Adkins would be a real smart move! I'm sure Cortese would be thinking differently if we were second in the league or something...
  20. This. Who cares FFS.
  21. ****ing hell, more news articles posted as fact. Have yourself another day off will you! Or better still, get back to work and contribute towards my pension.
  22. I like the current design: retro designs are good but why they incorporate a crown is beyond me.
  23. If were going to continue ripping Man U off why not do "Forte, Forte will tear you apart, again!"
  24. If we go behind, let's not loose patience! They're blatantly going to put 5 across midfield and will be hard to breakdown but we'll get them eventually.
