I don't understand why teachers feel the need to photocopy all the time when there are other ways to share the info.
Our resources lady did 6 million copies over three years...just for teaching staff. What a waste of paper. Apparently it's all needed though!
Far too many lessons are just kids doing boring shit from photocopying...it's a kind of replacement from when they did boring shit from textbooks. That came about because text books couldn't be afforded, or kids ruined them by drawing knobs in them etc....now it seems photocopies can't be afforded. With modern electronic media, I'm not sure that schools are required any more other than as a means of social control. Obviously you'll still need fee paying schools to produce the ruling elite....but what do state schools do? |

The fuel range display in my car monumentally annoys me.
Fill her up, range pings up at 390 miles when I start the car. Pull out of the forecourt and drive home (1.6 miles) and the fucking thing now says 305 miles.

Its all done on the engine use isnt it Davey boy, obviously if on tick over it is going to say a higher fuel range. I bet you have a lead foot aswell  |

The one in my ST was good and accurate. The one I have now irritates me, remaining miles is steady until it gets to 100, then for every 10 miles I do it drops 20  |

It's actually because there is a float in the tank which measures the amount of fuel in there. More fuel means more resistance to the gauge and so it declines at a slower rate. Also, the lower the fuel level the more it can slosh around a vary, particularly as the fuel tank isn't a regular shape. If I park my car on an incline my gauge shows less fuel than if I park on a decline. If you know the capacity of your tank and brim it when the low fuel warning light comes on, you'll know how much was left in it. It's about 7 litres for my car, or 1.5 gallons in old measures. |

My mate's old land rover always has fuel in it as long as you keep going round a roundabout.

Pulled over on the magic to let a blue light ambulance past only for some daft bint to nearly stove my car in as she tailgated said ambulance not noticing me pulling back over.
She looked genuinely shocked at first by my car horn then a volley of abuse

Ridiculously tiny photocopying budget. Theoretically each person in my department gets £2.50 a week but that went after about two weeks. So I'm currently trying to work out how to teach year 10 with no resources. Film again tomorrow then!
Do the kids not have text books and jotters these days? Back in my day we had to copy from the projector or blackboard into our jotter during lessons. Some lessons we had to share one text book between two pupils. What do you teach? |

Next term chuck the notes online, let them print at home. Spend the £2.50 on a swift half.
