Yes. What you have is a professional qualification that even if you don't teach, shows the capacity to work beyond a degree and commit to something. I bailed out on teaching at a similar point in my career to yours, I don't regret it at all because I was basically a hermit living only to plan lessons and do marking. You are 22 which is ridiculously young, you have a professional qualification to fall back on if you need to further down the line. **** go for it mate. Go. It will ultimately only be a positive experience for you even if it all goes tits up.

Wait...what?! Chinless posh boy Tory rocket polishers joining the glorious working mans fairness and equality party? Surely not....it would almost be like they were all words removed in different colour ties.

I've done the speed awareness course. It will adjust your behaviour for about 3 months and then you will revert to doing what you have always done.

Is it based on your other Google Movies then? The only other one I have is Ice Age which was free with my N7.

I got the Shaun the Sheep movie. Bastards.

I quite like the blond with the glasses who doesn't speak or do much. Nice eye candy.

Welcome to unemployment [emoji2] [emoji2] How come mate? Oh.... I've got another one lined up its all fine. Time to move on and do something different and for a 25% pay rise I'll suffer the 2 hour commute.

I've just resigned from my job.

He was on broad street watching villa play shit so it must have been a raincheck I reckon he's knuckle deep in Polski clunge now though. Or telling them about his new Aygo. He will be telling them all about how hard he has worked this half term and that teaching really is a full time job.

The show died the day they replaced the job opportunity with an "investment" to avoid problems with shit candidates getting sacked 6 months into the job and suing Sugar - the current format has **** all to do with the performance on the tasks and all about the business plan that Sugar is most interested in. Its no longer "the worlds toughest job interview" and has become an extended cut of Dragon's Den with less Dragons and more Words Removed.

That seems to be very confused. The 'most intelligent' are quite often not the most academic or, more especially, the ones best suited to pass any specific exam. Pastoral care is better in a comprehensive school than elsewhere? There's a problem there that undermines education when it is of 'little or no relevance' - how and when is this decided and by whom? When do people get to decide this and how? Or when is it decided for them? 1) Fair comment - I'm probably conflating intelligence and academic ability. Perhaps "Those children who are most academic" and yes, my experience is that Pastoral care is vastly superior in Comprehensives than elsewhere. I'm not saying there isn't good practice in Independent of Grammar schools, but your bog standard comp on the whole will have a wider range of support available delivered by people more experienced in using it. 2) Perhaps you need to give kids the choice of the route they want to take and then let them decide the curriculum accordingly. Forcing kids at 14 who have a reading level of a 7-8 year old to do French or Biology GCSE exams is ridiculous and creates a feeling of worthlessness and ineptitude. 3) In Eames' utopia? 12? 13? It would be decision for the child and parents based on advice from teachers.

That looks really impressive. Its not the prettiest of devices but I'd buy one just for the fiddling potential.

So its not the things that actually matter....... eg. points on the board, league position and results. Its the subjective stuff that we don't like that means he should be sacked. So what we are really saying is that we are like Allardyce's West Ham side. A couple of players away from a half decent outfit with a manager who has a reputation for a single style of play? Lambert should be given until at least Mid December to sort this stuff out. If he doesn't by then he should be sacked but he still has time for me. If we'd have picked up out points alternating with defeats like CVByrne says there wouldn't be so much negativity.

Interesting story. Now I'm not massively technologically minded and certainly no espionage expert either, but surely the Chinese Government (if it is really them) could come up with something better than "Baidu" as the folder with an ISP connection that leads straight to Beijing. Surely its too obvious for nefarious state snooping?

Wait...wait....so what you're saying is that Villa fans are fickle?

Same way he built it I would imagine. That's going from championship to that. Can't see him doing the same now. Better teams than us will give him the chance. I'm confused. We are talking about Moyes.... who spent **** all at Everton over what? 10 years? Villa would be ideal for him.

Same way he built it I would imagine.

I will vote for a fourth option. For me, he's got until the middle of december. If there is no improvement in the situation by then he has to go. We shouldn't be waiting for then to target any potential replacements either. Get those conversations done now. Line up the next guy and if nothing improves its a swift transition pre the Jan window.

Mine arrived today - its very very nice. Much easier to hold that the phone alone whilst not massively changing the size and feel. Just got to get the insurance to sort the smashed screen now.

I hadn't noticed anything particularly firm in the SLine A1's suspension. It gives a lovely smooth ride. Personal preference but the Tiguan is ugly. Crossovers are extremely expensive for what they are and don't really offer a massive improvement in terms of space. For me at the moment an estate car makes much more sense this time.

Agree....probably a poor example but hopefully you got the gist. Those trades shouldn't. be looked down upon at all.

Hmmm...interesting. They are very pretty.....

Oh I have to have one with the bonnet badge - absolutely non negotitable.

Isn’t it time we did something to stop the increasingly black and whiteness of education of ‘public [i.e. Eton, Westminster, etc]/private’ versus ‘state’? Labour’s idealistic idea to get rid of grammar schools done with the best of intentions, seems to have made the problems worse. Neither Labour nor Conservatives seem to want to really tackle it. Trouble is the whole education system is tailored to support those who are academically minded so grammar/private or comp will always benefit the most intelligent, or rather, those who are best suited to pass a specific type of exam. Grammar schools (I'm a product of that system) work for those kids who are able to cope in a highly academic environment but do very little to support the social/emotional development on the child and where something goes wrong, the consequences are generally far greater for the child, since the school doesn't have want or need the level of pastoral care that a comp will have. We shouldn't be forcing all kids into a system where you have to pass academic exams in subjects that will ultimately be of little or no relevance to them. Far better to have academic/grammar schools for those who are able to access them, and technical schools where kids who can't or don't want that academic education can learn a trade/skills from an earlier age with a view to them setting up their own businesses in future - and this approach works just the same for bricklaying or engineering. You just spend longer at the school learning the trade. In regards to private education I have no intrinsic objection to people paying for their children's education but private is by no means better in terms of the quality of the education delivered. What I do have a problem with is that you are essentially buying access and networking. The more expensive the school, the better the network - two candidates at a job interview and one went to the same school as the interviewer - will only end up one way. Somewhat hypocritically though, my eldest is in private school and my youngest will go there too..... if you can't beat em. Join em. EDIT. I've just realised this post is massively OT so.... er.....**** Farage.

Interesting, they seem more reasonably priced that the Audi A4.
