Thanks Bedders, ditto - you’re definitely on my favourite poster list (as is caesar).

But when did a Henry become a Charles? I can’t keep up with these royal family shenanigans.

… and of course there is James the Hird who posts a bit and polices the media thread.

Toasties are the topic that unites this board

Potato cakes separate us, because some fools thing that are scallops

I concur.

It's a CAKE of POTATO! How do you have a scallop of potato?

Yes, there are scalloped potatoes, but they are soft, cheesy & saucy. Did some unworldly person one day venture upon a potato cake without knowing its real name and say, 'Wow, this crunchy battered, yet soft in the middle big cake of potato reminds me of a soft, saucy, cheesy plate of small chopped potatoes called scalloped potatoes...well I might as well call it a potato scallop then because it's sooo similar!'... and then the word spread to many, many other unquestioning dwellers of this country?? Argh.

Had this debate with my Year 3's. I used to call it scissors, paper, rock but when playing tend to say rock, paper, scissors, shoot so now have swapped.

you must be knackered after spending a year with Y3s.

Teachers have my respect. I reckon I’d survive til little lunch before flipping out. I barely survived part time teaching at a Uni.

Had a ripper class this year. One of the easiest classes I've ever taught, kids had a sense of humour, gave a s**t about their learning and treated each other with respect. The paperwork and covering sick staff through term 2 and 3 nearly killed me though.

I do a little relief teaching at a primary school. They always put me on the naughty kids. I work well with them. I talk to them. They are great mostly when they are with me. Some kids are violent. I take them out of class kick a few footys with them. They go back and are OK.
Some kids are a bit of a long term project. I have their respect but I cannot always control them always. I like working with them though. We have lots of good days.

It's amazing how listening to and getting to know and understand the students removes a majority of the problems. Not rocket science, yet some of our colleagues still haven't worked it out.
 
No idea what the Toasties thing is in reference to. (Maybe I should read this thread), somehow it feels up the way of The Roomies thing that was a thing 8+ years ago or something. No idea what that was, either.
 
In a fierce argument today with someone about what constitutes a doughnut.

A doughnut must have a hole in it. a holeless doughnut is the stuff that of literal nightmares.

Has the world gone mad?
