The Sixty-First Republic - Covid the gift that keeps giving even in the last half term!

[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 for school staff to let off steam.

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. Finally, upload your covid test results twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.

It's been a thing for the whole pandemic, Honey. I think it might have started with the whole lock the vulnerable in their rooms and let the rest of us live their lives unrestricted although possibly was there before that.

🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyone know that feeling, when you chucked any old thing in your online basket just to secure the delivery slot you wanted, then forgot to take them out prior to the amendments deadline?

80 coconut scented toilet rolls arriving tomorrow. £43 worth.......

I think you can send them back. Or can contact customer service and get them to change it. There was a thread where someone had done something similar last week.

Coconut scented toilet rolls?!

Oo really rafa?? 😃 FAB

They might be coconut oil infused or something. Will keep one pack to try them.
I mean, I like what used to be the green Quality Street, so.....

I like what used to be the green quality street. I'm fairly certain I'd go off the smell of coconut long before the end of 80 rolls of toilet paper came to an end.

Don’tcha just love MN?
Night all

80 coconut scented toilet rolls

Oooh fancy.

Or possibly a recipe for thrush.

I started holding my basket with four bottles of Prosecco just in case we did that 🤣

Football was rubbish.

Here you are, Jan. Also useful info that you don't have to hold your order with £40 worth of stuff. Which I didn't know.

There's got to be a maths question in there .

I can vouch for the coconut scented ones I always get those.

@DreamingofBrie 😂😂😂

You can buy coconut scented toilet roll?

Now I know why a friend used to hold her basket with gin.

Is anyone else dealing with a trend for setting off fire alarms? SLT are blaming tik-tok but I'm not so sure.

Strange you should say that, we had one yesterday. At lunch time. Nobody was amused...

Why would you buy scented bog roll

I’ve done bog roll themed questions (which pack is best value for money) in Functional Maths, one of the perks of teaching adults. I use the same sets of numbers but ring the changes on the contexts. I’ve done probability with different coloured thongs before now.

They just keep saying well I'm low risk - err to yourself yes. On the one hand they call us sheep for taking the vaccine on the other they're smugly saying I don't need it because enough people are vaccinated without any sense of the fact that others (who they are insulting) took a risk for them that they weren't willing to take themselves

I get really annoyed with antivaxers. Quite happy to enjoy the benefits of most of the population getting vaccinated. But far to precious to take the tiny tiny risk of a vaccine themselves.

I also feel sorry for people who have a genuine medical reason to be cautious about vaccinations. They sometimes get lumped in with the antivax crowd.

And the funny thing is is that they have convinced themselves they are not anti-vaxxers ‘because it is just the Covid one!’ and yet it’s just like the MMR all over again, which could have helped eradicate measles etc. but oh no…

I just dumped it in the basket, OK?? Here is the description:

Every sheet of our Cushelle Ultra Quilted Coconut toilet rolls have been enriched with softening balm for cushiony softness and smoothness. We've also delicately scented each core with a tropical coconut scent

That thread was very enlightening, thank you!

You’ll feel like you are on holiday in your own toilet Jan - who needs to go abroad eh?!

I get my loo roll on subscription from Who Gives a Crap . Get the recycled stuff but would love to buy the bamboo stuff, they sent me a roll and it's lovely!

Omg. Me and my friend came down to Cornwall last night. There are now 4 empty prosecco bottles, and I've had about 4 hours sleep.

Love it rule!

@DreamingofBrie I’ve been considering trying them but didn’t know anyone who used them! Might give it a go if you say they are ok!
