I've been told that if she ever bumps me off, she's burying me in the garden and building an extension on top. She showed me the architectural drawings.

I give it a month and it'll be in the loft.

Yes! Came here to post this. Here's another, with rapping Klingons.

I enjoyed it. I have seen every debut episode, and this was up there with Tom Baker dressed as a Viking asking the Brjgadier what he thought of his outfit, and Matt Smith's first one. Ncuti Gatwa was just sublime. He will be excellent. Oh, and...

8 Monday 9 Tuesday

I was in B and M and saw a guy buying them. You could tell his devotion to his kids. As well as buying "Cozy Crew" ones for everyone, he had his kids names and dates of birth tattooed on his neck.

My mum is very close to her cousin. They grew up together, literally. When my grandmother died, my mum was a wee girl and was sent to live with her auntie for a time. In many ways her cousin is as close to her as a sister. She (the cousin) had a massive strokes few days ago. Not looking good. Lost all feeling in both legs and right arm.

Family Christmas pyjamas. When did this become a thing?

I didn't see the original post, tbh.

The autocorrect on this new tablet is doing my heading

The old L-shaped bed sheets. You can see a man's nipples not not a woman's.

Sunday: taking my step daughter and girlfriend to ours and home again. She lives in (shudder) Dunfermline. Expecting bams on the road.

Went to Tesco at 10 am today. Pandemonium.

Did Hard My youngest had never seen jt, but was a fan of Brooklyn 99 where it is heavily referenced. She didn't like it

Mods! This is Chest of Draws territory.

7 for Friday.

Hold it back. If she gets you something, you can come back with "Well, I got you this, too" pulling out your voucher, and you guys will be like this: And if she hasn't got you anything then you reveal it at lunchtime-ish, taking a victory lap for the rest of the day. Oh, and if she hits you with "But we agreed.." then the line to take is "I know...but I couldn't bear the thought of not getting you something for Christmas". This will lead to

One hour of work left, then 18 days off.

Let me give an (anonymised) example I came across this morning. The question asks about durability of materials. The student answer started with "Certainly! Let's look at...." which is a very odd way to begin an answer. I went to ChatGPT and typed in "Can you give me a description of the durability of...." and filled in the rest of the exam question. The answer I got back was exactly the same. "Certainly! Let's look at..."

I get what you're saying. Firstly, misconduct cases are decided on the balance of probability rather than reasonable doubt. So, I put in my case. I show the ChatGPT answer and the student answers and highlight the similarities. I then hand it on to the misconduct team. As the instigator of the case my involvement ends there. The student will be invited to a hearing and will have access to my evidence. They can explain their side to the committee, who will then decide guilt or not. For me this is looking clear cut. The structure of the answer is the exact same as the AI one. The wording is very, very similar. Especially in the introductory and concluding paragraphs. So the question for the committee is - is this a coincidence? The student just happened to write their answer in this particular way? With 8 bullet point answers (in the exact same order) with such similar wording, lack of detail, etc? Or did the student use an AI system.

A few of my colleagues ask for students to make videos and submit these, to take the sting out of standing in front of a class and talking. I had presentations in a class of mine years ago. Quickly dumped it - some students get really anxious. For me it isn't really assessing if they have met the learning outcomes or not. I get that for some subjects it's important (a mate of mine lectures in history, and as such a lot of the class will go on to be history teachers).
