Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Not quite from my other half but she was with me at the time....
A few years ago, I was up in Goathland, N Yorkshire, (Heartbeat Village) sitting in a bar of the pub opposite the 'Aidensfield Arms' with my then partner when we were alerted to a blonde lady of about 30 ish with the typical Essex accent that has become so popular for some so called trendies to adopt...
She was speaking so loudly that we could not help but be drawn into the conversation; We think she was doing this intentionally, to try and enlighten everyone to her newly perceived class status, as it appeared that she had just experienced travel in the First Class railway carriage for the first time...
As the story went on, She was speaking about her recent exploits of a train journey of which most of us were rather bored....
And then out of the mouth of this lady, with the term 'lady' being used rather loosely, she stated, "I only ever travel First Class on trains now, the main reason being I get to my destination before everyone else!"
You couldn't have heard a nuclear explosion outside the pub over the raucous laughter that roared through the bar!!
Absolutely priceless...... But she just didn't understand why, what she had said, was so funny and why everyone else was in tears....

but technically correct if only my milliseconds and as long as the first class bit is at the front of the train 
pedantry matters.
Pedantry does matter. And some 1st class trains often enter the station and some end up at the end of the platform, leaving you further to walk to the gates, and so later to your destination than 2nd class due to the added walk. pedantry matters.

Couldn't they use last year's lesson plans?
FFS if they do they get accused of being lazy, and if they don't they get accused of wasting their own time!they really are between a rock and a hard place. In 'middle class' areas the parents are for the most part horrific
s, the children are the type of children you'd expect from horrific s, and the government just want the education system to be about more and more stats and reporting whilst obviously keeping the same level of teaching. You wouldn't be a teacher, so just let them get on with it.
Back on topic.

3) Planning isn't even half the battle

We started digging when teachers refused to allow kids in the high level math class in senior high school, to bring their marked test papers home for us to evaluate, & find our daughters weaknesses.
We found they had been using the same exam test papers for 5 years, to avoid having to write new tests. Talk about slack.
Oh FFS!

I wondered where my thread had gone. It's got a 2nd volume 
I think these are my favourites! My Mrs was not involved but a group in work talking about the solar eclipse tomorrow and all the warnings about looking at the sun:
Woman 1 - "The only reason you can't look at the sun tomorrow is because it is an eclipse, you're ok the rest of the time"
Woman 2 - "...you know the eclipse, isn't that when the sun passes in front of the moon, I'm not into astrology"
