He will miss the first three days of semester, and the last week.
I see endless problems with this guy - my colleagues who had dealt with him before were absolutely right. I mean - how can he expect to do no teaching when he is on a Teaching & Scholarship contract (ie no research, just teaching and developing the programmes we teach)?
Get him to f**k. He sounds like the Carlos Kaiser of academia.

Incredible and tragic, but true
I think Gerald must have let him go from the glass collector job at the golf club. He must have been caught helping himself behind the bar. It's a wee shame.

Presumably her husband was on some, given he's been accused of stabbing her to death.
25 years old? Unnatural causes?
I must study the mental health of the spouses of sub-saharan middle distance runners.

Given that EU states make their own policies on work/residence permit offers to non-EU nationals, even within the Schengen zone, that wouldn't actually be possible. The source is not a surprise, though.
That would be even more embarrassing in many ways. Imagine if Malta or Cyprus starting poaching British HGV drivers!
The seethe from the usual suspects would be off the scale as former colonies stick the knife in.

one of the replies to this tweet sums it up quite neatly
Just like two months ago, more extremely concerning issues with my MS medication, manufactured in the Netherlands. Supply is extremely scarce. This is the reality now. Nothing is improving and worse still, no effort is being made to improve things.
Here's Frost more or less firing the gun on a trade war with the EU.
This country is fucked.

Here's yer civic nationalism in Glasgow yesterday
Not a good look from the guy on the top right to be fair. What was he thinking modeling his look on the "Tartanist Gonk" of all- Maggie's favourite Unionist paedophile Nicholas Fairbairn.

And exactly what is your idea? And please dont give me the nicola sturgeon secret plan.
What's YOUR fucking plan? Don't give me a load of flannel about "sovereignty".
With all due respect, if you've found a legally solid loophole to the Act of Union for another indyref we're all ears.
You're sounding like President McGlashan of Transnistria here.

The Scottish parliament is the problem. They bend down to westminster rule, and as such they bend down to our sovereignty.
Maybe we should blow some pillarboxes up or something?

Independent food banks ‘running out of options’ amid UC cut
A welfare state that is not fit for purpose which has been outsourced to the goodwill of charity who can no longer cope.

Seriously? Do you visit shops?
Clearly an Ocado type of guy who, incidentally, are also fucked.

See, Tories *are* scum. I don't know why anyone would argue against it.
The only thing that could possibly have been even more crass than that actually is would've been if she sang "I will survive".
Unlike thousands of her UC claimants this winter.

Ach, things would be worse in an independent Scotland. Kincardine is right. We might as well admit we've all been a bit foolish and give up.
I'm so sorry.

"GET BACK TO THE OFFICE" has everything to do with keeping the service economy from falling on its arse. I was probably more productive working from home. Can't say I particularly missed an uncomfortable and expensive commute and I had more money to spend on decent things rather than overpriced coffee and shite sandwiches.
Johnson will be on about how the past failed and yet here we are being dictated to carry on exactly as before.

Johnson's big day today.
I'm looking forward to him writing off the last 11 years of Tory administration and economic pain with a jaunty aside.
I expect a content free meander, full of objectives that have been selected by throwing a dart at bits of paper on the board. He'll also slide in another muppet reference by calling the Swedish Chef a c**t and I fully expect him to have a patch of piss on his suit trousers.

First half we played some good stuff and should have been further ahead.
Holding on a bit second half but will take 1-0 wins week in week out.
You know that would have ended one all with Mickey.
Clear improvement this year.

Goodwill of Europe? We’d presumably have to apply for membership and they’d be holding the cards. We’ve seen what a shower of shitehouses the Westminster government are and we need them to be ‘no hard feelings lads, let’s make it work’ rather than ‘we are going to f**k you up and make sure this is a car crash.’
Europe would hold the cards, no doubt. They hold the cards now with the UK.
If you're scared of what Westminster threatens us with in two, five, ten years time then God bless you. At best England/UK will be a middle ranking European nation albeit with nuclear toys located on Scottish territory.
I guarantee you won't be hearing about how "we're" the 17th biggest economy (or whatever) in the world after this act of self sabotage when we used to be the 5th until fairly recently.
They are waving an increasingly flaccid cock of a fading power.

I couldn't believe the V&A in Dundee as IA says. There was absolutely f**k all in the place. I went with my 2 young boys and being used to stuff like the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh they were like, "what the f**k was that?"
I can't blame them.

It’s been a bit of a disaster so far, but I can still see why folk voted for it. It seems to me that it’s similar to folk wanting independence for Scotland. It’s folk wanting independence from Europe. I’d imagine that Independence for Scotland would bring a similar shitstorm in the short to medium term. I’d imagine that a lot of people, on seeing how it’s gone, would change their vote. Also, on seeing how abjectly bad the current Westminster government is, people will surely be questioning how this shower of no-marks got to be MPs.
I think the big difference is that Scotland will have the goodwill of Europe and the international community.
The UK has antagonised everyone that counts and expects Europe in particular to fold- for instance, the unbuilt import/export facilities in Wales & Kent.
We'll make it work. The brexiteers are making absolutely no attempt to do so and this will not change.

Well researched.
The end result is still the same.
No it's not.
You attempted to equivalise our shortages in supermarkets with those in Belgium. We don't have drivers to make adequate deliveries. Belgium does but there is an industrial dispute.
The unions will broker a deal, much to your chagrin no doubt and the shelves will be full- unlike here.
Caught out peddling shite.
Again.

In a second referendum campaign, will they amend the “No Borders” stuff to include “except with those dirty foreign b*****ds on the continent” or will they have the brass neck to use the slogan again, unaltered?
They'll build a wee stone cairn and write a shite folk song like last time.
Just goes to show that if you astroturf a campaign for the British establishment, you'll be well rewarded down the line.
Except Stormzy of course, who was emptied.

Buttons compared to the good old days. You can see why he's jacking it in, for now.
He can always move back into his mum's in Bathgate. He could do wee videos about fortnite in his bedroom for wee kids and indoctrinate them against women, or folk that identify as women, or blokes with cocks/no cock/growing a cock or whatever it was that made him a frothing sad case a few years back.
That, or after dinner speaking at the Women's Guild.

I wish they'd just publish the price list for honours.
£147,500 for a lord.
I paid that for my house. I should have bunged the money to the Tories and become Lord Tramp of No Fixed Abode.

Without private landlords Edinburgh would not be the place it is with people living here from around the world.
Mate, it's a fucking theme park. Airbnb everywhere, student flats all over the shop and nowhere for regular normal folk to live at a reasonable price. Students don't pay council tax which is probably another reason the "hidden" parts of the city are neglected and look like shit. Edinburgh was always an "international" place with folk from all over, but now it's mission statement seems to cater for blow ins and not the actual population.
And don't get me started on the privatisation of public spaces such as that dance thing that took over Princes street gardens the other week there, or the Xmas markets. Fucking £70-£100 a ticket for that dance thing. If you're on minimum wage or UC there's no way you can afford that.
And just who benefitted financially from that?
