I have a question...

I’m back into the office next Monday and I can get a test for me and the family as a result.

Question is- for anybody that’s been tested, does the test itself hurt? I’ve heard it’s not nice and I’ve heard it’s nothing, whats it really like?

My girlfriend has had several done now and says it’s not nice, based on that, it’d say it’s shite

If it's the nasal swab one it's not pleasant. Had two after a friend died from meningitis.
But it's fairly quick and discomfort passes quickly.

I wonder what GCSE text will be used next to condemn the recent posts?

Anyone squawking about how many days off teachers get really hasn't got the first clue about how much they do.

First question to ask is would they do the job. If the answer is no then shut the fuck up.

I certainly wouldn't want to be a teacher.

Yeah, I’ve always wondered why there are shortages if it’s so cushty.

How many weeks off a year 4 this wailing leftie c**t?

Aren’t you off at the moment getting paid by the taxpayer? Looks like you’re spending my hard earned taxes on alcohol. Sponging c**t.

You've no idea you privately educated pig

Says the Bulingdon Boys fan boy.

 

[skybluetony176]

Ooh mummy that naughty man called me a swear word. Fuck off you leftie c**t

Ladies and gentlemen, Grendulls new best mate. Bit of advice for you Grendull. When people like this are agreeing with you it’s a good sign that you need to rethink your life.

I've expressed as much both in surveys carried out by the school and to the (new) head of department but there isn't a great deal that can be done simply because my timetable is the heaviest among my colleagues and I am by far the least experienced. I was already burned out coming into the lockdown and now the requirements around making online lesson materials/marking/chasing/running a club are too much. Plus there are the types who want to show off their whizziness with remote learning which creates an added pressure.

With the missus in a very similar situation the Brighton household is a bit of a tense one. We're in front of a screen for the vast majority of the day which doesn't help.

I know it doesn’t help mate but I appreciate what you are doing and so do most of the parents whose kids you are teaching

Teaching union. What a load of foggot wankerss

Oh my goodness homophobic and judgemental all in one. Unions have done no end of good in this country. Grow up

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Pleased the tip reopening with appointment times. My garden is looking like a dumping ground for the street

Know a few teachers.
The amount of work they do in their own time is a piss take. Would never dream of doing it.

He'll be in one if he's at Land rover and he'll have benefited from it immensely.

I'd assume his outburst is because he's scared of going back. Hopefully the Union will give him the support to get over that.

 

[PVA]

Oh dear, someone had a drink last night.

And wishing death on a fellow poster, surely that isn't allowed on here.

If they're a 'leftie' it's just banter.

Yup the unions have kept the wages way above average for the sector.

When I was younger a dated a few teachers and they were always burnt out and stressed. Changed my view off them and left me with more respect for them.

Back on topic. It seems this outbreak in South Korea is down to one fella who was carrying the virus and visited 5 nightclubs in a night.
Just shows what we're up against with this thing and I think stories like this will be definitely taken into account when the government are considering reopening pubs etc.

 

[Grendel]

He needs help in all seriousness. He has the phone number and they'll listen no matter what state he's in

Anyone it seems expressing anger and frustration at the unrepresentative thread “needs help”

It’s things like this I struggle to see a solution for for a long time. A local pub is one thing, everyone could be spread out sat at different tables. A club, music venue, The Roost before a game is on a different level. Hundreds of people bustling past each other. Same with the tube stations. A robust contact tracing app (which seems a long way off considering the flaws highlighted with the NHSx one) goes a long way to helping but SK are now tracking hundreds of people this guy might have been in contact with and they’re unlikely to find them all.

You’ve made it too obvious you’re a wind up merchant and not a serious poster recently.

Look at all that he wrote and tell me otherwise.

You really think that was a legitimate response to the thread? To be clear I was not trying to cause a pile on of sarcastic 'you need help' responses. I genuinely am concerned for the mental welfare of people in this lockdown. The rage last night was something else, we all get a bit carried away sometimes but that wasn't rational.

There seems to be no social distancing though as they have to track down over 2000 people

I think not what have I said that’s not serious? The mistake I make is to keep visiting this car crash rather than leave you all to fight each other - any attempt at serious discussion gets nowhere

Grenners is a massive hypocritical twat though.

If you agree with him he will overlook homophobia

Appreciate that Pete, but I’m not doing my job all that effectively at the moment.

It was all pretty concise from what I saw
