Bairnardo Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Vapes are fucking stinking. Some of the "flavours" are absolutely God awful and I can see why they are looking at a ban on the single use efforts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed folk kept losing them until someone told me they were single use. Lazy littering b*****ds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 101 Posted June 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2023 I don't get why everyone doesn't smoke cigars or pipes rather than fags. Particularly pipes, they are no more expensive, have less chemicals and you can use them to point to things. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, of all the things that come round to being cool again, pipes would be a rare worthwhile one. The bigger the better aswell. Two handed efforts, ones that need set up with a tripod, ones that have a set of wheels etc cetera. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they are littering b*****ds who think it's acceptable to chuck their used cigarettes on the ground, but many claim they don't (they do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i have never smoked, I like the smell of pipes being smoked, reminds me of standing on the terraces at Stark’s park when i was younger.

I don't know why, but the exam boards this year were torture. Many of my colleagues seemed to be going out of their way to be stingy. I've been in 4 Boards this time around, both here and as external examiner at another uni. Now, I am on the lenient side. If there's a borderline case between a 1st and a 2:1, say, I'll always make the case for a higher award. Others are different and cite academic standards as a reason to argue the other way. But this year has been tougher than most. Colleagues being frankly mean. I had to stop one exam board and have a separate meeting with the Chair to explain the rules properly to her, and ask why they were not being applied to the benefit of some students. Some unis just use an algorithm to determine the outcomes but we have discussions. It's great when you fight hard for someone and the exam board relents (to shut me up). This morning, I've spent 4 hours dealing with one guy who is devastated. He has been told to come back next year to sit one course again. Had his tickets booked for graduation and everything. Long weekend coming up and much needed. This whole few weeks has been shite. Update here - managed to (after spending all fucking day last Friday) get this guy his Honours degree. Me and two colleagues fought for this and managed to find an obscure exception to the discretionary credits rule to let him through. He will graduate with his mates and his family will be there. And today I am fighting for 4 others. They were told their results last week but due to an error in excel calculating the marks, 4 student averages have been corrected downwards. As such the exam board wants to get in touch with these guys and say "sorry, you're getting a lower award than the one we told you". I'm saying they should get what they were told. In one case the average grade dropped by 0.4%. Stingy b*****ds. Another Friday ruined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I watched some others but the only one I can specifically remember watching is "The Wicker Man". I seem to recall that the movies were introduced by a tall skinny movie critic bloke but I can't remember his name. Suspect you're thinking of Alex Cox (director of Repo Man) but that was on BBC2, a series of cult films called 'Moviedrome'. That was the first time I'd seen (or even heard of) The Wicker Man and I didn't know the ending so was taken completely by surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always showed an Emmanuel movie on Friday nights when my folks were out. Aye, we got Sky for a while in 1990, and the old Astra satellite transmitted French and German channels if you looked for them. They were mental in comparison to the UK channels of the time - random topless women in car adverts and suchlike in the middle of the day Seemed like the Germans made a fair amount of their own "Confessions" style shite soft porn with hilarious misunderstandings leading to shenanigans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
