The Moonster Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I've had two separate people text me saying "my pal in work has a friend in Parliament..." and they go onto say we'll be in full lockdown, nationwide, by tomorrow morning. When pointed out that their pal is talking shite they've then forwarded me on a WhatsApp group message that says "I know a guy who works in Parliament...". Ah well then, if it's been communicated through WhatsApp to wee Jimmy who works in Argos then I suppose it's only a matter of time before Boris addresses the nation. Why do we breed such gullible idiots? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 1 minute ago, Todd_is_God said: I didn't realise until yesterday that prelim results were no longer used in the event the final exam couldn't be sat? Why do they still do them then?! Two main reasons: 1) It gets pupils used to what an actual exam is like; 2) They can still be used for evidence should a pupil miss the final exam due to a serious medical issue, bereavement etc.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Don't they usually make the prelims harder than the final exams or did we all just genuinely make a substantial improvement in 4 months? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just now, NotThePars said: Don't they usually make the prelims harder than the final exams or did we all just genuinely make a substantial improvement in 4 months? No, it's a myth. What happens is pupils work harder, so by the time the real exam comes they are better, and find it easier than they did the prelim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what this daytime TV I keep hearing of is all about. Here's a tip (if you need it) On the commercial channels, record everything you want to watch, then you can whiz through not only the adverts but also the opening credits, 'coming up' , 'last time' . That way you can cram in even more vaccous shite. I speak with the voice of experience. Here's a sad fact. I have a machine capable of recording 8 simultaneous transmissions. Never used fully except for testing purposes I hasten to add. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll also be subject to abuse, both verbal and possibly even physical. For decades they've been screwed over, but things have suddenly changed and the "lowly" supermarket check out girl or the "expendable" delivery driver or the "invisible" shelf stacker and warehouse worker are now the people that society in general are relying on to keep them alive. Is that worth more than £8.21 per hour do you think ??? I'd say so. 12 weeks off if you have an underlying illness. Full pay but 2 weeks of them you need to use as part of holiday entitlement New slogan should be "Very Little Help". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Since everyone enjoys MixuFixut's tales of dealing with his parents Maw Sanchez goes to Granny Sanchez's on a Thursday to do some cleaning and take stuff in. She went this morning. She went back round in the afternoon and has just phoned me from there. There's no Granny Sanchez, but there are potatoes and a fresh loaf from Asda. I might wander round and solder the door shut once she's back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
