Years ago, our neighbours went on holiday and left my mum to feed the cat. One day she went over and the house was in a terrible state. Cupboards, drawers, everything like these pictures. Mum thought the cat had made the mess. My dad went over to help clean up and noticed that the cat, if guilty, must have kicked in the back door as well and rifled through jewellery boxes. To this day my siblings and I take the piss out of her for that one. They caught the burglar a couple of weeks later.

We had that but students took the piss. For many, an extra week is worth a 10% hit, so it was upped to 30%. After 7 days it is a zero grade.

The Devil was in the Star Trek animated series.

At my place the policy is a 30% deduction if up to 7 days late, and it's up to the marker to apply it. I wouldn't apply it for being 3 hours late. When we get to, say, 12 i might think about it. Plus, you don't get marked down for mistakes. You get marks for what you did. If referencing is worth, say, 5% then if you do it right you get the full whack. Mostly right and you'd get 3 or 4. No references no marks.

Sorry, not seen it.

The BBC now pushing the line that this recession isn't as bad as 2008, with graphs. Voty Tory folks. ETA it isnt as bad as 2008, but the comparison misses the point that we are currently, in an election year, in recession.

On the flip side, the creation of the TV show Minder is proof that the big man exists.

Denise Crosby was in the X files

What incriminating files were you so keen to keep a hold of?
