All of that and more.

As above pretty much I'm a technically minded person and need challenged as such. I naturally want to make and mend things. Standing about talking about stuff and at worst explaining to a room full of little shits who couldn't care less isn't my forte.

But its such an easy job with so much holiday and huge pay for so little time spent working? 

 

OK sarcasm unnecessary...apologies.

 

Kids wont care less if people think that teaching involves turning up and just talking at them and getting them to do exercises from a book. I had to teach one of the bottom sets in maths the subject of experimental vs theoretical statistics, I could have taught them off some slides and with some book exercises, the route I went however was Paper Scissors Stone games, coin flipping and dice rolling, getting them to do it and record results in the class then comparing it to theoretical stats - it was fun, they enjoyed it, and at the end when I checked on learning they had all got it. Kids are sponges, very capable of learning astonishing amounts of information in a short time, they just need a bit of creativity from a good teacher to make it happen sometimes...

 

...in fact Scott, your skills would be brilliant in a class, there is no rule book on how to teach really, they just need to pass the scores set to get the marks how they get there is up to you - if you can create a great learning environment thats what schools are crying out for.

Did he leg it when you took it apart?

He was sat on the the little circuit board, had to flick him off and catch him. Little bastard, I'm knackered.

What you need now is a bird, a cat, a dog, a goat and a cow. If you have a horse then beware!

Jehova's knocking on the door, mid FP3. Fcuk off.

Arguing with people about money. Seems I've ruffled a few feathers with my latest purchase. Gets on my tits being told I'm "well off" and "don't have anything to worry about" and "rich". Yes I own my own house and 3 cars so you may call me rich. But how many of those people that call me rich have a household income of more than the £30k that mine is, precisely, now would you class yourself as rich? Its about money management and not pissing it up a wall or smoking it away.

It's the Mazda 6 that has done it, jealousy will get them nowhere

[G-Bob]

I know what you mean.  We have 3 cars, and a horse.  People think we are minted, but the truth of the matter is that the value of my cars are fcuk all (less than their nearly new A4) and the reason that we can afford a horse is because we don't go out every weekend and p*ss £70-100 up the wall on drink&fags and have nothing to show for it.

 

It's all about priorities.

I guess its all relative, £30k probably goes a long way if you live north of Watford, on £30k you would struggle to pay for rent and bills on a 1 bed flat in London. Have to say the wife and I are seriously thinking of quitting the big smoke - just means an extra 2 hours a day commute 

 

I seriously want to have an LED display I can put in my cars back window so I can produce messages to drivers who get on my tits by:

 

Driving under the speed limit on a three lane road in the middle lane on an empty road - is it me or is this getting exponentially worse the last few years?

Learner drivers breaking the speed limit on A roads (as Dave Browns school of motoring was doing in the pouring rain on the A24 yesterday)

People who tailgaite my car with a baby on board sticker - I know opinion on these is divided but he's 15 months old and wouldn't fair very well in a rear end shunt, give him a chance eh - and before anyone says it no those signs are not for the emergency services and the idea that they are is absurd

People who sit in the left hand land turning right at roundabouts

Indicators, they come as standard on every car built they even put the control for these amazing devices just an inch or two from your finger so you only have to extend it a fraction...it wont burn up much needed energy to activate them, and to make life even easier they will in general cancel themselves so you dont have to turn them off

Two things I really dislike, people trying to rub your nose in it because they think they're richer than you, and people who hate wealth.

 

Zoobeef, just enjoy the money you have - that's what it's there for.
