Does Warwick Castle still have trebuchet?

I was thinking that exact same thing!

Need a witty title for yet another new thread. I'm hopeless at that sort of thing.

Is it education they care about or their and their sprogs social advancement?

During Covid “Us for them” were championing for the “poor kids”.’ I’m not sure where the support was when I was teaching live (from lockdown day 1) with a kid who hadn’t been diagnosed with autism then (as he was over 2000 on the waiting list) and I reached out on this site and was told to “get a grip”. Not sure those posters were supporting me - or other parents of SEND kids - back then.

The teacher bashing threads were vile during that time, even more than usual.

And then the same posters wonder why there aren't enough teachers.

Same can be said for doctors and other healthcare professionals as well.

I’m watching QT. My blood pressure is ridiculously low, I take every opportunity to raise it a bit. Ship of Fools gets my vote.

Agreed cake - but the state of the justice system as it is - I can't imagine what would be left after a further 13% cut.
Ditto local government.

Courts for the asylum seekers who are t being jetted off to Rwanda - just in case.

It's a total farce.

They won't be for criminals. They are releasing them. They can't afford to convict anymore.

Ship of Fools is excellent, I'm here for it. Cat tax is ready to go.

itsgettingweird · 30/05/2024 19:48

The ships of fools Sunk 🤣
