I've crossed paths with Chesney Hawkes twice. The first I got kicked out of a student nightclub for stage invading when he performed The One And Only. Absolute banger of a tune btw. Second time was the same club and a mate and I had a right good drinking sesh with him and his brother after the...

Pardon the language on my previous post but I've just come across a very timely and pertinent article given there's been not a huge amount of classroom observations (aka the nuts and bolts, "what we do", how we improve outcomes for our young people) but tonnes of audits, discussions and...

So inspection week is almost done. I've now written at least 5 ranty posts about the process/ quango then deleted because it wouldn't be professional or appropriate. We're good. Fuck the system.

Decking is looking amazing, :o got a little bit of inspection homework to do over the weekend but apart from that I got everything on my list done before leaving today so I'm exactly where I want to be going into next week. SWAT team HQ who are sent in before inspections to make sure...

Today was not a slog and I got tonnes done. I'm sure more will land at my door tomorrow but I feel on top of things. That being said, looking at what I'm going to be hands on involved with next week, I think was being delusional thinking I can just chill cine tomorrow evening :o Got a second...

Today has been a slog. Tunnel vision, forgot my log in I use 12 times a day at one point etc...Pissed off some colleagues and I'm sure plenty has been said about me in the staff room which is their want. Inspection starts on Monday so it's all hands on deck this week. Pulling LONG hours to get...

Oh yeah we blitzed season 3 of Yellowjackets too. Awesome stuff. Apart from tue Juliette Lewis / her younger self I hate every character on the show and hope they all get wiped out. :o

Just finished watching The Menu with Ralph Fiennes. Totally bonkers and really enjoyable.

Chilling after a week's holiday and some lovely nature walks.

Hope you're feeling better Peen. 2nd week of the school holidays and we're away for the week . Cool place we came to in October - it's basically 3 shipping containers knocked together to make a little flat. Hot tub out the back. beautiful views, quiet site etc... Took Lola a lovely walk in the...

Manic Street Preachers were awesome as always and only played handful from the new album (though not the one stand out track imo!) Mrs JBJ scored tickets for Chappel Roane this morning. That will be fun though it's mid-week in Edinburgh so I'll need to drive, it'd probably be a fun drunk gig.

I know my way around a 5 key Bb, I wouldn't know where to start with something like that.

That sucks. He was imo the Mike Campbell of drumming - everything he played was exactly what the song needed.

Heading home from Bat Out of Hell the Meatloaf musical. Could have cut half a dozen songs over the piece and the start of the 2nd act was a bit weak but overall a good show. Manic Street Preachers at the Barrowlands on Saturday. They have a new, not very good, album out so a bit worried...
