Paulie Dangerously

There are and I am involved in a "cluster" of schools so those ones are more likely to take us on. Most schools who take on Trainees take on multiple ones and might only have one job going. Was up at 7 today doing applications. I believe Salford is desperate for roles but it's outside of my comfortable commute distance.

After this half term I've only got 3 more weeks left in school before I'm finished. Just got the results of my 2nd assignment which was a pass (just) but with my first one in which I got a distinction that means that all being well I will graduate at distinction level. I'm currently borderline "good" rating on my teacher standards (basically a grade) which I am disappointed about because I want to be outstanding but I accept that having never taught a class of children before September I've come an awfully long way which is something to be celebrated. I've got to sit down with my Edge Hill mentor and discuss my experiences. Barring me throttling a child or a catastrophic drop in the quality of my teaching I'll be recommended to the DfES for Qualified Teacher Status. I am absolutely exhausted but no rest for the wicked as I'm trying to get myself a job for September. All this "crying out for teachers" really doesn't apply in Merseyside as there are 2 unis pumping out 300 teachers each a year. Every job has upwards of 60 applications for it and even the vetting of my letters by the head of my current school hasn't so much as got me an interview yet. The M&M (male and mature) factor which people keep telling me will help me is also a myth it seems. That's the thing getting my down at the minute. Each application takes hours to tailor to the school and you don't get so much as a "fuck you very much" back. If I end up on supply in September it wouldn't be the end of the world but I'd much rather have something permanent in place. Get my NQT year done and then MrsD and I can look at where we want to be.

Just fucking win

Just finished season 3. People go on about the gritty realism of the early series but at least twice Dot was shown frying an egg whilst already in his suit trousers, shirt and tie. Appalling writing.

An Evertonian talking about European football, I've heard it all now.

Just watched the last one so letting it sink in. Initial thoughts are it was weak. Dany death underwhelming and poorly acted IMO. Should've been a crescendo to the whole fable. Kind of suspected that Jon would go back north of the wall. Didn't expect that for Arya though, spin off series beckons? Seemed like they were going for the "a better world beckons" ending like the end of LOTR but they didn't do it overly well. 8 seasons done. I think I'm going to watch them all through again as soon as I can. I haven't been riled as much as some by the last few series but there has been a drop off and a rush to completion. Will go down in history as probably the best fantasy show produced and one of the top 10 in most people's lists.

Last scene to be a super long pan out leaving the planet and exiting GRRM's ear with him typing on a typewriter and saying "I made it all up folks" directly into the camera

Some Vapists are getting almost as annoying and obnoxious as smokers when you're out and about. Huge plumes of chemical candy floss smells encompassing you as you're walking down the street. Fuck off.

Moana. Fucking great Lilo and stitch

MrsD booked a weekend with the girls and my mum a few months ago on that weekend so I'll be in on my own with GirlD
