  1. The wife bought fluffy bedsheets. Undersheet and pillow cases. Very comfortable but bloody roasting. Spent half of last night with no duvet on.
  2. My step daughter was due to give birth on the 12th. Still no sign.
  3. Just finished Invasion of the Dinosaurs. The special effects haven't aged well for this one. Very interesting story, and a shame to see the beginning of the end of the Unit team who have been throughout the Pertwee era.
  4. When I was an exchange student in Sweden, there was a guy who had a very strong American accent when he spoke in English. I asked him if he had ever been there and he said no - his accent was purely from TV.
  5. Clown Job going means fewer instances of this appearing next to some random tweet or other
  6. Which also starred James Darren, aka Vic Fontaine
  7. I like that you scrubbed out the license plate but left the mobile number in.
  8. Jack Nicholson's name was first on the 1989 movie.
  9. Sounds like you have the knowledge. Does the OU offer any classes on writing essays and the like? Most places do. Might be worth looking into.
  10. Quite right. I'm dull as hell online but in real life it's all...oh.
  11. There was a rumour ahead of it coming out that Patrick Stewart was going to be Mr Freeze. Then it came out and it was Arnie...
  12. Just how many hours was it between you accidentally walking in, and making a retreat?
  13. Later Walkmans had a feature where you could fast forward a song, and it would automatically stop between songs. presumably it detected a quiet part of the tape. Revolutionary!
  14. The word count thing might explain some of this - if the word count for an essay is, say, 1500 words and a student submits 1000, then there are clearly marks available they're not taking. This usually comes from 2 things - students missing parts of the answer, or not explaining the answer well enough. It's not enough to mention all the things the marker is looking for, but to explain and show your understanding of it also. Best of luck in the future!
  15. 58% isn't all that bad! I have students who will never get near a score like that.
  16. Goes a bit beyond that - the Benson article covers all the various facets
  17. Having a shower during the day, and putting on fresh socks afterwards
