Slightly geeky science teacher with a penchant for science fiction and US crime dramas. Self diagnosed Aspie - but I have it under control.

@asda. I hope your petrol prices come down as quick as they went up. I thought there was a lag between buying and selling the stuff. I'm sure you're not profiteering...

@SCAR_HEART_01 @RAF_Luton Nah, thats a Mustang

@TrotwoodBetsy I'm worried Tom will have a belter next week and Jasmine will miss out. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but Tom has someone smiling on him...

I sound like a conspiracy theorist.

(Jasmine is awesome)

@haveigotnews Be compassionate

When you see @Scouting4Girls at @LatitudeFest and your fitness tracker assumes you are doing a workout, bpm hits 151 and you log 81 fit minutes (in a 45 min show) and 12,000 steps. What a show!

@mathieuheraud @veritasium This is where I was heading, but I would drop one egg to prove I could do it safely...

@McLarenF1 Deep massage, jojoba skin treatment and a sauna.

Or the 1998 mayhem "oh, this is terrible."

@SkipMcGowan @fesshole And a 65 year old that the 88 year old owner still calls 'the boy'

@BirdPhotoTours I am very tired, and I read this as the 'male Flame Thrower bird'.

Might solve a few issues for mother nature...

Youngest is making the #ferrari @F1 @LEGO_Group model. She is frustrated... small parts, smaller stickers. She keeps saying the @MercedesAMGF1 and @McLarenF1 weren't this hard. I told her Ferrari like to make life difficult. Go with Plan B. No, Plan C, Plan F?. Box box. Stay out.

@metoffice Give the amount that fell in my village a few years ago that caused flooding within an hour... I'd guess more than 102 tbh

[Simon @simonrockett]

@ianmstuart @hornesection You beat me to it.

Is it winter that you're into?

[Simon @simonrockett]

@80s_Kidz How else could you make ice cream sandwiches between 2 wafers?

[Simon @simonrockett]

And apparently, this is worth £12.50. @BurgerKingUK

[Simon @simonrockett]

You would have thought that @BurgerKingUK might have thought a Friday night of a bank holiday weekend at Fleet Services might be a touch busy, so put a few more stuff on shift. Processing order 215 - 232. I'm order 268. Yelp.

The outcome will be the same, but the impact on student morale will be greater.

[Simon @simonrockett]

I don't mind the grade 4 "pass" concept. After all, a common standard is important, but I'd like to see the phrases level 1 pass and level 2 pass used instead. We have levels 1,2, and 3 (and so on) qualifications, so let's use the terminology. @TeacherTapp

[Simon @simonrockett]

It would mean that student with no chance of grade 4 don't feel like failures because they have a level 1 pass and shows that education is incremental. Likewise, the minimum English and Mathematicx would be a level 2 pass, not a number.

[Simon @simonrockett]

What was a factor in becoming a teacher on @TeacherTapp today. Well, needing 6 month's experience in a shortage skilled occupation for an Australian visa wasn't on the list... and the migration didn't happen so 30 years later, I'm still here at the chalk face. And loving it.
