It’s really hard to say what a good teacher is TBF. Results? Massively dependent on exam choice and cohort. Ofsted rating? Very variable and subjective. I’ve been everything from Requires Improvement to Outstanding depending on the school and the class and the inspector. I’ve seen schools try...

Nah.

Yeah I know. Was just pointing out you don’t hear about them. Schools have a habit of just cracking on and “kid misses Computing” isn’t as sexy as “lady dies on trolley”

Only over sixties voting majority Tory now…

The teaching challenges don’t get publicity but for example my daughter is no longer taught Computing because they simply can’t find any staff. Even asked if I’d be willing to work one day a week for them.

We should all wear these to the match on Saturday to welcome him: (man with a spade on his head)

No I was wrong and forgot it’s 2023 not 2022. My mistake.

Well in theory if we don’t need to sell then any sales are purely for rebuilding, right?

I wouldn’t worry too much. I think this seasons gone TBH. Maybe get a loan in but mostly I’d save for the summer rebuild.

Yeah I got the deal with Virgin from their retention team. Was about three weeks after I’d cancelled I think they rang me and gave me a really good deal, so good I actually cancelled the alternative I was in the cool off period with. Apparently that’s standard and the people on the phone when...

I’d take £18m all day long TBF. I’d even take £15m. Could do some damage with that.

Worse crime he’s committed

I think only two of those come under legal changes the sexual histories (which is totally fair) would like to know more about the cross examination stuff. Have you got a link? From what I understand a big problem is that most cases don’t get to court, that’s the but im not sure about improving.

What would you change?

This is interesting, kind of backs up my feeling that it’s a particularly hard crime to target intervention against though: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/health/men-rape-sexual-assault.html

Oh 100%, I’m just not sure what that looks like. You can’t ban penises. There’s always going to be opportunities and there’s always going to be men who want to take advantage of those opportunities. I’m not across the research but is there even a profile of rapists? The people who commit a lot...

It is. And to be honest I think a lot of the worry is psychological rather than statistical so anything that makes women feel more comfortable doing something they might otherwise not is a win for me. It’s a fair point though.

Its about more than running too but that doesn’t stop your love of Jamie Allen :P

Almost done with The After Party on Apple TV, it’s a comedy who dunnit series where each episode the story is told by a different suspect. Really enjoyed it, just got the final episodes left now so may change my mind depending on the resolution.

Something I wasn’t aware of that my GF showed me the other day is a safety check thing on her phone that basically allows her to say what she’s doing (e.g. walking alone) and a check in time and if she doesn’t respond on her phone after that time it alerts people in her contacts along with her...
