why is everyone fretting over the brain drain at the end when the obvious highlight of the ep was Daenerys' wee gal pal getting her lovelies oot. Been waiting for that since she first appeared on the scene and she didn't disappoint.
Quick question - was she in Holyoaks or Corrie or something before GoT?
As for the ending...oof. Made me a little queasy in the way that only Hannibal and Bones have managed before.
Anyway, it's just a flesh wound.

My girl has a play doh obsession just now. She was asking for some yesterday, so the wife went on YouTube to find out how to make some home made.
What she produced consisted of water, flour, salt, oil and food colouring. Trouble was it was a little more wet than the real stuff. It's gone everywhere - walls, carpets, sofas. Sticks to everything.

I didn't know until after his hearing that he had done it on another course as well.
I was bloody seething about it. Another student I supervised worked his arse off for the final 3 weeks, sending me drafts at 4 am,, working every waking hour to squeak through. What this guy did was take an earlier dissertation and go through it line by line, rewording it. This brought the "plagiarism checker" score down to an acceptable level. If I hadn;t checked against his sources he would have passed no problem.

Britain's Got Talent.
Jesus wept my wife forces me to watch this. Dance groups, unfunny comedians, singers not good enough for the X factor - last week Ant and Dec put through a comedian/impressionist doing an impersonation of Cilla Black on Blind Date. What's he got for the live shows? Larry Grayson?

The boy I reported for plagiarism admitted it (and on another course, too).
Needless to say he failed the courses and will not be graduating with honours this summer.

Depends on the class size, too. I taught a class of 5 last semester and didn't need a sheet to know which students came every week and which didn't.

The wife is due 5 weeks today and it's right to say I'm crapping it a bit but trying not to let it show to her. Anybody pass on any good tips for when the big day arrives?
OK some actual advice. Pack a bag of things for you both. And by things I mean boredom killers. You could be stuck in a room for many hours waiting with nothing at all happening. Bring books and puzzles and the like.
From here on in you'll need to maintain a Ninja-style readiness for when it's go time. Both of my kids, the waters broke just after we went to bed. You cannot spend half an hour messing about looking for your socks. Be prepared.
Take food with you, too. Energy drinks if you're in to them as you can get tired. Fresh fruit is best - apples and the like. The stuff they'll give you in hospital will depress you.
Finally, make sure you have everything you need at home. Bottles, sterilisers, nappies, the lot. The last thing you'll want is to come home with the baby and think "damn, I need to go shopping".

Yesterday some dental folk went round the school applying some varnish to the kids teeth. Scott was fine getting it done, but the wee one refused and screamed the place down. She told me later she was scared. Poor wee thing.

I really hope Hibs come down. If that happens, the Championship will be the best league in Scotland.

The Vegas episode reminded me of Frasier, the contrived stories and big finishes. It was excellent, the outstanding one of the series for me.

But surely this also says something about the quality of the lectures if the non-attender is getting the same mark as the individual who does attend?
Well, no. The non-attender could have gotten higher marks through better learning. The attender has done their best and tried their hardest.

Well thats obviously unfair...
Quite possibly. But is the non-attender had attended, he or she would probably get a higher grade. Impressions really do count.

The lecture point is interesting. I became a lecturer in August and started teaching in September. My experience of lecturing to classes at that point was zero. However, the Uni have put me through a course on ways to enhance learning through teaching. Talking off notes for an hour is simply wrong and would bore students and lecturers alike.
I recommend attendance. You learn more by hearing and reading information than just one or the other. Also, in exam boards (which we are having now) if it's marginal on a grade - let's say someone averages 69% but needs 70% for a First - then the student who attended will get it and the student who didn't won't. It's a demonstration of effort.

So the big question (for me) from the finale...
Is Red her dad, or did Red save her from the fire while her dad died?

Dany's story hasn't advanced at all this season.
You should read the books
Hee Haw happens with her from this point on. Nothing of note, anyway.

(Or were you the one who had the snip?)
That was me. In just 4 weeks time I get to go all romantic with a plastic cup.

Found some plagiarism today. Raging. Utterly raging.
Can someone please put that Jim Jeffries 'Seething' gif up for me to show how utterly raging I am at this fuckwit who thinks he can take a dissertation from 2011, re-write it line by line and not get caught.

The Iron Bank! Brought that story from the end of book 5 to the later part of book 3.

My wee one's birthday is on Friday and she's getting excited. She woke up this morning saying "did I sleep for four sleeps?"

Thanks!
The Iron Bank was mentioned a lot. By the final book there was someone from the Iron Bank in Westeros looking for his money back. Sirprised to hear it mentioned so often in the series this early.
