I didn’t expect to be turned on my Mel Giedroyc churning butter. Eurovision always amazes me. 

Lost my sixth day of pay this year on strike again. 

Shit like this makes it all worth it though: https://www.tes.com/magazine/news/primary/coronation-dfe-wildflower-seeds-primary-schools

Absolute fucking cretins of a government.

I dunno, I loved wanking pervert Ade Edmondson.

Good point well made. I quite liked Selby too, but he was an utter prick.

Rain Dogs is pretty great, isn't it? It's deathly bleak but also one of the funniest things I've seen in so long.

I really enjoyed it. Another one of those shows where no-one is particularly likeable, but it was very well written. 

Radosław Majewski had the ability to score an absolute banger, and this one against Derby was extra magnificent

Pretty sure Pig Fucker Cameron left one of his kids in the Black Boy Inn near Banbury. It's closed now.

Sorry if I’m missing something but why is it racist?

It’s a dreadful ad regardless like. Real barrel scraping.

It's the implicit link of a South Asian man with grooming gangs, especially given the dialogue of the past two weeks. 

I didn't buy Cody as the man, and I still don't, but it seems mad that he was so over and they didn't pull the trigger. 

Who's left? GUNTER maybe? I don't think Jey dethroning Roman would be any good, and I don't think it'll be Solo, and if they give it to Cody at Backlash then it's a waste.

On the deck-building front but with less depth I’ve been hooked on Marvel Snap for the last week or so. Pretty fun.

I log in daily to do the daily quests, it's pretty fun. Still using the deck I made with Ka-zar and 1 cost cards because the only counter is still Killmonger, and he's less and less common.

I also occasionally do an Apocalypse discard deck.

Oh god. I played Slay the Spire for an hour or two when it hit Game Pass and thought it was ok but didn't really get it. Downloaded it again a few days and been slowly figuring out what was going on as I have never played a deck building game before. Today it clicked and I sunk 5 hours into it on my day off and I'm really trying not to have another run.

This is Vampire Survivors level gaming crack isn't it ? I can see myself playing this alot.

I've also got back into it. I somehow lost my progression where I had got to A20 with the Ironclad, so am trying to get back to that level.

Our biggest picket today (6 whole teachers).

It was my entire department - the Humanities staff are such rabble rousers. 

Another two days for me. 

The Scottish teachers have managed to get a decent offer, as have the Welsh, but old England are still fucking shit. 

No he's just saying this is exactly the same thing as happened to him over Meghan Markle. 

UNHRC have already come out against it. 

They're just disgusting fascists

I mean, I agree with them about the toilets being locked, but unfortunately the last tiktok trend was to smash up the toilets, and there's been 1000s of pounds worth of damage done to the loos since September...

The skirts is a different issue, the school uniform states that 4 buttons should be shown on the skirt, just like it says I should always wear a tie, so I just remind them four buttons; I don't mention the length at all. 

Ours protested today for the following reasons. 

There were not even ten kids there. It was quite funny. Bless them, they tried. 

I back kids right to protest, but the school next to ours had instances of teachers being attacked. I'm less of a fan of that. 

I think it's also the fact that when she saw someone post about a boycott on Twitter, she immediately went in on them laughing about how she would be rolling around on her piles of money. 

Also there are lots of little icks with the game/books - there's some anti-Semitism, there's the casual racism (Cho Chang the most egregious example, but you could also include Seamus Finnegan the Irish boy who only blows thing up), and the general fact that she spends her life punching down on Trans people. 

I'm pretty tired of the discourse - play the game, or don't play the game, but when Trans people are telling you that playing the game makes you a shit ally, don't then try and turn it on them. 

Here's an article that explains some people's feelings on it: https://www.escapistmagazine.com/explaining-the-j-k-rowling-controversy-surrounding-hogwarts-legacy/

"He slid his inexorable length into me as I gasped in ecstasy" 

Happy Valley was an incredible final series and a superb finale. My heart was in my mouth with the scene where Catherine was snoozing in the chair. 

I thought it ended quite well.

Delighted with the result obviously but Cooper won’t be happy with that performance surely? Thought we were awful.

It wasn't that bad, but Wood was an absolute lump. Boly was MOTM for me.

Casemiro is one of the oddest looking/shaped players I've ever seen.

I dunno, Gnonto for Leeds has that minecraft Steve/Shaqiri look down too. 

Great win against Leeds today. We're staying up.

Enjoyable picket, mostly supportive people coming by in their cars, headteacher came out with a coffee, and an old dear in the coffee shop when we went for breakfast told us she hoped we choked on it. 

Tory scum

I do occasionally teach English so I try to be as correct as possible

Only just realised one of the guys in Last Of Us this week was in season 1 of White Lotus. Genuinely didn't realise it was him. What a range.

Yeah, it was a shock when I realised as well.
