Sorry guys, i'm building and writing the Prize pages on my only day off...  it does involve a bit of switcheroo on the draws though - sorry 🙁

I'll be finished in a couple of hours, i've got to get my kids some tea now - my wife is working!

I can understand the Butler might be waxing the Bentley but wheres's the Housemaid - surely you don't give her time off while the Missus is working?😉

The housemaid left.. overworked and underpaid...

I also had to sell the Bentley to pay PDB his last appearance fee.

Sob....

I do indeed try and refrain from such a regimented application of garrulous lexica as it becomes difficult to rephrase when teaching secondary school children.

However, I have got them to use hyperbole correctly and jingoistic which I am quite pleased about. Next stop verisimilitude.

Love that! So you teach secondary education Graham? Interesting. I am thinking about moving into that myself in the near future. My subject would be ICT. Do you enjoy your work? More or less preparation that primary in terms of lesson planning etc?

I'll take that as a positive then..

Careful Simon...I thought secondary teaching would be good when I finished my first degree in 2002, but quit my PGCE with about four weeks to go because I could earn more money for less hassle elsewhere. I wouldn't want to get flamed on here for knocking the profession, but if you ever want to hear some cautionary advice then drop me a PM.

 

I'll get my coat.. ❓

I like the door handles!!
