Yeah, so I'm currently "stranded" in Portarlington due to Icelandic Volcano Ash Drama (IVAD). I was due to fly back to London Sunday night, but had to change my flight to tomorrow. but it's been cancelled again, so I've changed it to Wednesday. If it's cancelled once more, I'll just get the Bus/Ferry on Wednesday. It will take 11 hours, but I'd ( Read more... )

1) Been playing Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on my PSP this week. Man is that some freaky shit. It's like Konami knew that us people who liked survival horror in the 1990s were bored with the genre, and the only way to get us back interested was to start fucking with our heads bigtime iRL.

You know that feeling you get when you get into the car and the music's playing and the road stretches out before you and you feel like you can go any where and do anything?

Since these are subjects I don't teach, this basically amounts to what we call 'crowd control'. I usually allow them to do homework or something ( Read more... )

Right, so I got a call from the vice principal of my old high school yesterday and he told me to call up to him today because he had some classes he thought might suit me. I'm just back from there now and I have good news! Turns out that a teacher I used to have for business studies is moving to a different school and so I get to take on his maths ( Read more... )
