WTF is with these "Pupil Free Days"? 3 weeks into the new year and they are having one at my kids school. I assume they are like Professional development days, but seriously, why can't they do this the week before school goes back? I understand teachers don't have the full 7 weeks off, but really I think it's a bloody joke.

Last year during royal show week my nephew had a pupil free day on the Tuesday and then a special show day off on the Wednesday.

Poor teachers, i guess they really deserve their 12 weeks off a year.

My mate is a teacher. Primary.
He has the full 7 weeks off and more. (sick days, professional development, pupil free etc)

The perks he has are ridiculous but he justifies it by saying, 'My job is hard."

Mate, EVERYONE'S job is hard.

I'm also sure that during some intense trench warfare every soldier thinks to themselves "well, at least I'm not a teacher"

Ok Eddie, i've seen the trailor and this is my opinion.

It looks like a very well made documentary, BUT i'm rather disappointed. When i first heard that this was going to be made it got me very excited. Finally the record could be set straight and the broader music population could see how influential so many Adelaide bands and individuals have been.

Originally it was going to focus on the 70's and 80's, in my opinion the only decades it should have focussed on. But having seen the trailor it's now apparent it's covering from the 70's right up to today. Big mistake. It now looks like any other old rockumentary.

Apparently the makers couldn't get their hands on enough archival footage of that era. It doesn't matter! I'd rather watch 2 hours of interviews with legends like Jim Selene, Renestair EJ, Stu Spasm, The legendary Beulah Road, Norwood bands of the early-80's (who later became the legendary Black Eye Records scene in Surry Hills, Sydney), Doug Thomas etc, than see all that filler stuff with crud bands from the Noughties like The Toss (who are an absolute shite, irrelevant band), or bullshit, nobody south coast bands like Psycho Green. Psycho ****ing Green!!! Absolute garbage nobody cares about!

This is my opinion but it's also the opinion of some people i know. But i can't hide that i'm disappoint.

They should have had a cut off year of 1991 (let's face it, once Nirvana hit it big the music landscape changed completely).

Feel free to pass these thoughts onto your friends.

If you want to see how good a rock documentary can be without the use of not only live footage, but also no members of the band interviewed, and no music whatsoever from said band, check out the documentary on The Replacements called 'Colour Me Obsessed'.
