I've seen at least two teachers on FB, and one in person, having a jolly good gloat about that fact that they are finishing work and have the whole summer off, and how awesome it is.

Interesting theory, but in my case as described, one of them is in both camps...

Right ok. Obviously my attempt at a joke went over everyone's head
It's not that. It's the fact that your joke was so bad that it wasn't even recognised as being an attempted joke. But to take your point seriously (if that's what you intended), as you had explained that it was a joke, it was reasonable for me to assume that that is indeed what it was, even though it was a s

I can't possibly condone that.

Why creep when you don't notice the lights have changed for 3 hours? obviously not in a rush really.

The fact that Solicitors still stiff you for £35 + VAT to make a bank transfer, for example when conveyancing on a mortgage, when a FPS BACS transfer (free) now takes the same amount of time, if not less, than a traditional CHAPS transfer.
We told ours to FRO and use BACS 
And told them to shove some of the charges up their derrieresPoleDriver said:

I've since learned, the trick with travel is take a tiny bag with an iPad and a power bank and a bar of choc, sit on an inside aisle seat as far forward as possible, when you land grab the bag and get straight up, as far forward as you can (the business class folks will have done something similar), straight off, to immigration and baggage reclaim first. I went from wheels down straight to standing outside Mumbai airport with 2 cases in 25 minutes on Saturday. A new record. It helps if you look pissed off when walking through the green channel too.
So you stand up as soon as the plane hits the ground and have to hover by the door for about 15 mins while the plane taxis and they get the gangways attached? I bloody hate that, everyone hovering over me when they are not going anywhere for ages. You are just going to have to stand about at baggage reclaim for ages while they unload it.Last year I took a flight with just carry on baggage. Everyone else stood up as soon as we hit tarmac and were faffing about for ages getting off. I had to wait until last as I was at the back with my luggage some distance away so just read a book until the plane was nearly empty. This paid off as I was the last on the bus to the terminal, so I was the first off, strolled through immigration and was through the terminal in under 2 mins.

New one just now on the local news programme talking about dented cars from hailstones. Apparently the largest dent is "the size of a chicken Kiev".
That's a new one on me. I thought that the internationally recognised reference object for a hailstone was the Golf ball? Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
