@nudge Please don't be offended. I understand the differences between the sports. It's just banter!

I'm banned from reacting and commenting on Facebook for 24 hours. How is it that those conspiracy theory idiots are the first one to report you when you call them idiots? The irony.

Some True Detective vibes

Might impose the same on here tbh.

I'm not sure where to put this, but we're currently undergoing a huge scandal in terms of the UK education. Obviously A-Levels are disrupted, so instead of working out some way of testing the kids so it's worked out on merit they are awarding them based on various factors, and crucially, one of the main ones is how well your school has historically done. This is an absolute disgrace which is going to fundamentally favour the wealthy and public schools. If you go to Endeavour in Hull you'll be downgraded, if you go to Tory Boy High in Hapley on the Wold you'll be handed good grades. It's a scam, these people are being betrayed.

When you're waiting all day for the Sun to go down till it's cool enough for walkies...

Probably one of very few to like this kind of stuff. But been using https://www.lightningmaps.org/ last couple of days to see where storms are and where lightning is striking/thunder is. Think it's quite cool

I do have to ask what you were going for here @Azeem??? A picture of a camera taking a picture of your own shoes???

Basically the £2m in savings to the wage bill will go straight to the agent of 32 year old Willian.

Malta added to the quarantine list. Cunts.

No I've just seen that and it's messed up as fuck. They're complaining that the results would have been a record high by 14% if they'd let all the teacher grades stand. Well boo fucking hoo. The grades are higher because we've put in what those students are capable of and it isn't the place of me, my headteacher, the exam board or the government to decide which 14% of those kids wouldn't have got that actual result in the exam because that's usually around how many don't hit maximum performance on the day. 14% really isn't that bad. I know it might cause some complications with universities being oversubscribed but theres also a much higher proportion than normal that are understandably deferring because they don't want to have to do their freshers year in the midst of social distancing and possibly video lectures when they're paying £9000 a year for it. They're acting like it would be the worst thing ever for the results to be higher than usual. I get that it would mean some kids (a minority) this year get a better grade than they would have which arguably gives them an undeserved advantage over kids who sat their real exams in other years. I think if you can't give them the benefit of the doubt this year and sacrifice a little bit of the integrity of the exam grading system due to exceptional circumstances, then you need to have a rethink about your priorities.

On the track to a lake in Kaghan Valley (3,800 m) elevation went there for the weekend apart from one glacier with a steep slope that freaked me out it was a pleasant experience worth the effort couldn't feel my legs in the end.
