  1. Sounds like a dopey battery, or your starter motor isn't charging the battery properly
  2. It shows the new side trims de chromed and painted black
  3. Just watched that, can't understand why the car is at any point in the wrong? He's in lane, there were no merge markings, the guy in the 4x4 was just being aggressive.
  4. Glad to hear you've made progress
  5. We went to Hatton gardens as well, chose the setting and the diamond and they did all the work http://www.aceofdiamondslondon.co.uk/ they were brilliant, helpful and friendly and no hard sell.

    Remove the badge, just be gentle, they are only plastic welds, so once you clear the back surface it should pop out.
  9. For every bad parent I come across there are at least 100 good parents. I once talked to a parent about their Childs swearing and their inability to know what is and is not appropriate language. The parent was very apologetic, said I don't know where he gets it from; then turns round to his kid and says....what have I fcuking said about swearing you little sh!t. I had to bite my lip to stop the laugh about to burst out.
  10. Like I said in a previous thread....I blame the parents
  11. For ekonas next wish he'd like to see someone pull a goldfish out their arse.

  14. Slow in and fast out. Trick with rwd is being smooth
  15. There is another alternative to a bomb. Its a liquid that is sprayed directly down the vents and onto the coil. But I can't remember what its called. The best way to stop it, is to not run he blowers on air recirc. It needs to be set to always bring in fresh air from outside.
  16. I've not named any student in person, I've not refereed to any parents by name, I've not mentioned the school I work at, I've not used my actual name. And I'm entitled to an opinion just like you. With regards to parents. Pretty much every screwed up kid you can trace the issue back to the parents. Its not a sweeping statement its fact. And my issue is every man and his dog has an opinion on what teachers should and shouldn't be doing. Everyone seems to know best, but very few are willing to actually step forward and do the job themselves. But you are correct that there are issues in the education system. We have an assessment system that only caters for 80% of the students going through it. We have a setup focussed on league tables which breeds a culture of prepping for exams and not actual learning. You have politicians deciding on curriculums with no actual experience of the job and very little consultation with actual industry in what they want out of newly trained students. There is little emphasis on vocational subjects. An observatory body that moves the goal posts to suit the political agenda and the poor setup from exam boards. Schools being able to quote performance figures excluding English and maths but including sub standard qualifications. Falling budgets, growing class sizes, no new schools being built. I could go on. Yes the system is flawed but lots of us try to do the best with what we have to use.
  17. Glwts, shame to see you sell up, don't be a stranger.
  18. he could differentiate alright he just happened to have left his brain in neutral that lesson. And thank you its rare to get praise from parents. Most just expect a child minding service. I do my job to the best of my abilities, but as always I'm just a small cog in a big machine. I just happen to work in a very good school with lots of other very good teachers. As for did I find it funny, of course I bloody did, and I shared it with my colleagues. And its not like I've emailed him the link to this thread. But if it helps. The kid did his gcse last year. He was predicted a D, I helped him get a B. So he can't of done too badly having me as a teacher.
  19. So you don't show up on the logged on list. On when viewing a thread your name won't show up at the bottom of the thread. Never used it myself but some may want to read what's said on the forum without letting others know they're reading it.
  20. Wow someone has a stick up there arse about the teaching profession. Firstly no I have no kids...yet....they arrive in October. Secondly I didn't fail in my task he did everything exactly how I demonstrated it. He used the vice correctly he wiped of the excess, he laid up and measured everything just like I showed him. His mistake was not being able to identify between a big bottle labelled PVA that he's used every year for the last 4 years. And a completely different bottle with a picture of a sink on it and the words Cif written on it. Now you might question why I let him continue. I'm a strong believer in learning from ones mistakes, and guiding them to the correct conclusion. I didn't mock the student, I laid out all the facts in front of him. As they say you can lead a horse to water etc etc etc. As for my teaching ability, I worked in the real world first before I went in to teaching. I also work with some of the toughest kids, and I also get some of the best results. Since I've worked in my current school the results have gone up 30% over 5 years. My lesson which are observed are either graded as good or outstanding, and in the recent Ofsted inspection I was also graded as outstanding. I think until you've done my job, or been in my classroom you can't really comment on my ability as a teacher. Oh and I also teach teachers as I'm a Subject mentor for several teaching courses. As you say I must be failing in my role as a teacher
  21. What did you pick as the learner car
