I like this. It's good for people across the whole ability range to learn new words. I teach btw.

Nationwide took away my overdraft on my second account as I wasn't paying money into it regularly...but they did send me a letter about it first. I wasn't too bothered.

If the busybody camera phone holder had just minded his own business, the student would have had a well overdue kick to his pride, the conductor would have learned a lesson/sought extra training and big man would have continued about his daily life. Instead we have the student prancing around...

Thanks, really good stuff :-D I did a seven-part lesson at the last Ofsted, absolutely exhausted by the end of it >< got Good with Outstanding features though! Happy NQT. Loving the Bloom's Taxonomy posters *print*

As an English teacher, this really really gets on my nerves. I can try to explain it again and again, make them apply it, make them say it, yet they still can't tell the difference. My particular peeve: kids who leave primary school unable to put a capital letter at the beginning of a...

A friend who has a first in Biology mistook seaweed for grass. In the sea. (It was definitely seaweed)

I remember being in year 12 and 13 very clearly. Yes it is sixth form, but now there are AS and A2 levels, defining the years is necessary.

Level 7 in Maths...in YEAR 7??? You're a ****ing genius. I'm lucky if I get most of my kids up to level 5+ by year 9.

I was disappointed when I got 60% or less...though I was more annoyed/perturbed when I spent all week on an essay and got 55%, then one night on a hastily written one that wound up with a 70% :/

I was at Kent for three years...night life is poo. Beautiful place though but so out of the way considering the proximity to London. BUT as previously mentioned, best weather in the UK!

Whether women listen or not, it's what the magazine is trying to achieve. If not, then why would they bother?

The worst thing about this is Vogue promoting a pre-pubescent, skinny girl's body as fashionable. She looks great. I bet she's so proud of these pictures. But anyone can be dressed up, given a clever makeover and airbrushed to look however the magazine would want them to look. Vogue have...

'This is attempted murder' - better? :D It's nice that grammar pedants are becoming more mainstream.

Amazing! Thank you :)

I left uni with no idea about what I wanted to do. Tried working in an office selling parts but was very dull, then in retail for a few months before I was promoted to their call centre HQ, then to their marketing department! I'm a teacher now, but my tip is to start in a company where you can...

Commenting! A question on Geography teaching. A kid whose Dad I used to work for insisted that there was a Northern Ireland and a Southern Ireland. I said yes, but what is the proper name for the south of Ireland? He just insisted it was called Southern Ireland, and had never heard of the...

Ah - a former friend I remember well. When I was about 13 I asked her how to spell 'restaurant'. She looked at me like I was a sorry waste of human life and yelled "RESSSSST-TERRRRR-RAAAAAANT!!!!!" ...ok...I looked it up in the end. Worked a treat, I have never forgotten the spelling...

I sometimes think about doing this for a joke, but from knowing this lovely guy I think it really is a genuine unfortunate spelling error.

I'm not sure where you buy your tents from, but they sound awful! I've found three-man tents perfect for two people. The capacity is based on people laying side-by-side, so a three-man is maximum capacity. Filling a tent leaves no space for bags etc. unless there is a porch or canopy. As for...
