The Fifty Seventh Republic - the joy of bank holiday marking

[StaffRepFeistyClub]

You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement. Baiters, haters, goaders, and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are NOT staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

Do not give the staffroom password to non-staff as it attracts the wrong sort of crowd.

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes, and the ability to sniff out where the booze is stashed - Thirsty Tuesdays, Fizz Fridays now in operation. Do not sit on the chairs and do wear a mask

I'm lying still recovering from the gym again now but I made and we ate delicious peppered steak with chunky chips and am contemplating making some kind of messy deliciousness with strawberries, blueberries, meringue nests and dodgy low cal squirty cream.

Sorry but I have to add you can also be fucked, fuck someone or go and fuck yourself. It's such a good word.

Checking in. Thank you Staff!

Can I add ' Fuck off to the far side of fuck and then when you get there, fuck off some more'?

Abso-fucking-lutely!

It’s a near-perfect word; it has so many uses!

I once wrote a sims log fir a child in which I stated that he had invited me to do something anatomically impossible. The HOY didn't understand what I meant so I had to amend it to say that he'd invited me to "go fuck yourself".
Hoy was horrified that I'd written that.

HoneyBadger, have you tried a wobble board for your ankle? Dd sprained her ankle badly and my gp friend recommended it as an important recovery aid.

It's pouring down here. Grateful all of my seedlings are still on my windowsill, and that we decided to have today's barbecue yesterday.

I still haven't started marking. Very disillusioned with school at the moment. Have a day off tomorrow so will tackle it then.

I always write exactly what they said on the behaviour log, it doesn’t go to parents. I assume that teachers are unshockable in that regard!

I’ve got a vitally important poll running here btw: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4234999-Important-kitchen-sink-poll

My late stepmum had her own twist on the plethora of fuck-related swear words....’funt’ (have a guess as to how that is constructed).

Used mainly when driving, but also reserved for my dad when he had been particularly infuriating. On one notable occasion she yelled it at him while launching a ski pole at his face after he’d lured her to the top of an ‘easy’ unpisted run with no other way down.

Sadly as a teacher I daren’t start using it for fear of it becoming habit but my youngest sister, who was only just 14 when she died, used it a LOT at her exclusive girls school to honour her mum 😂

I will have a google to find out what they are Dreaming - thank you. I'm not working tomorrow either - I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday so having a bank holiday in term time for once is bliss and gives me a nice break.

Like this Dreaming? Looks like a good idea thank you!

In Ireland we are prolific swearers (might just be my family ), then Father Ted can out and we had a whole new vocabulary to try 😂 fup off you fupping baxstard 😂.
My DD loves getting in the car with me, it's when I am at my sweary best!

Or, in the words of Malcom Tucker, fucketybye

I've ordered an ankle support and a wobble board to arrive tomorrow - thank you Dreaming. It's been 9 days now which seems a bit long so probably best to help it along.

Are you sure it’s not broken?

Fucketybye is another favourite.

I mainly phone parents and repeat exactly what their dc has said. I also like to have the dc in the room when I phone. Sims reports contain the exact wording too.

Yes, we do exact wording. I had to write cunt on a letter last week. The TA who heard it couldn't say it. I asked her the first letter and she said 'k'. Took me awhile going through my personal urban dictionary brain before realising it must be cunt.

Checking in. Well that weekend went way too quickly. I have nearly everything sorted for this week, just need to write everything up tonight on the planning forms.

I'm already getting quite tired. Can't believe Easter was only two weeks ago.

My contribution to this highbrow conversation:
You want the person doing your plumbing to be a plumber, but you don't want the person fucking you to be a fucker.

I don't think I could walk on it or rotate it (albeit not well or smoothly) or wiggle my toes if it was broken surely?

Question. Other than deichmann, where do you get lower priced plimsolls/trainers? Like the more feminine types rather than full on running shoes. My fave grey sparkly ones have seen better days. Are new look's faux converse shoes at all comfortable?

Rocket Dog?

Supermarket. But you can't try them on at the moment.

Yes let’s have (another) shoe conversation shall we? >

I don’t mind the F chat. F off to the far side of F (etc) is something I’ve only seen on MN, and I do slightly love it, I must admit.
Actually, it’s possible I’ve only seen it on these threads, so very niche.....

@TheHoneyBadger

I don't think I could walk on it or rotate it (albeit not well or smoothly) or wiggle my toes if it was broken surely?

Dr Google says otherwise, it depends on what's broken. Maybe phone 111?

I don’t mind the F chat

The what chat, Jan?
