I've been working for over 30 years and I'm still not a millionaire. Surely, by now, I should own my own jet and private island?

There's a new book by the Nobel left wing economist Joseph Stiglitz which condemns EMU. I haven't read it - just this review; however it is so much aligned with my thinking on the subject that I thought I'd share...

Don't worry I won't be grooming you. I'm limited to clippers.

All means of communication are just for kids aren't they? The telephone is for teenagers; writing letters has to stop when you are 15 and this forum is for pre-teens. I'm six, for example.

Spanked so hard the team will have red hand prints on their arses for weeks. :(

Come on Otis, let's have your retort! ;)

Amazing coincidence, we have exactly the same people living in our street. But you missed out that odd bloke the whole street calls 'Wanky Panky'.

Like most on here I don't like it - watched maybe two episodes whilst at my daughter's. Outnumbered would be closer to the top in my list. And no room for The Mighty Boosh? Madness.

To save time, I've completed this thread below: He will be sold for peanuts; lining Joy's pockets. I hate that we are a selling club. Every club is a selling club. SISU Out. This sale is needed to balance the books. You are a wanker.

Surely it depends on the player? Rooney; Owen and many others played many games before they were 20 - including internationals.

In my opinion, Smith is only as bad as all politicians. Corbyn is far far worse - because of what he believes. Not the headline items of wanting world peace and greater equality - I believe all parties want that - but the details; the way he wants to try and achieve it. Now the hard Left have...

How big are class sizes now Ian? When I left I had 34 in my top sets, roughly 30 in the middle sets and 20 - 25 in the bottom set.

It always used to be a set scale based off time served, with allowances for more responsibility. Has that changed?

Back on topic, this looks compelling and accurate to me: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/08/shouldnt-vote-jeremy-corbyn/

I completely agree. I used to like going off piste off teaching with the bright kids and give them more context than the syllabus demands. They loved it and it fitted in perfectly with my philosophy that if you tell people WHY something works they will remember it. Someone with an A level is...

I was a maths teacher - taught for 4 years before leaving to become a graduate trainee programmer and I took a pay rise - even though I had an incentive A allowance by then too. We wanted children and we simply couldn't afford it on my pay. 15 years ago I was made redundant and didn't work for...

Me too - first in the family to go to grammar school and first to university. I read recently than now fewer than 50% of maths teachers in secondary school have any relevant post-A level qualification in maths. And is it any wonder when they are paid less than half of what they would be in...

looks like he wants the money.

I just googled Keren, fully expecting to find that she was a Momentum member and part of his team. I was wrong and accept that he couldn't find a seat at the start of his journey.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167700 I've been on many jam-packed trains. When there are empty reserved seats they are sat on; many of the reservations don't even start until later in the journey. I've even reserved seats in the past and not even been able to get to the seat to...
