My mates Dad has a song in that game!

What a great thing to do! I think it’s why a lot of people volunteer for causes and give their time and money to charity. Such a great way to directly see the positive impact you’re having on the world.

Whilst I am very anti landlord, that last point is interesting.

Say, if someone had enough money to buy out thousands of houses and made them cheapest around, undercutting everyone, then sold them to the occupants if they wanted to buy… Would that somehow fix the renting crisis we’re in today?

That is the point. Do whatever you want because no one’s gonna remember it anyway. Once I realised that, life because a bit more bearable.

“if you can’t fix the problem, just become part of it!” Great advice mate 😂

If anyone was free to buy a house whenever they liked, renting wouldn’t be such a problem. The problem is, renting nowadays is the only solution and therefore those who own properties are free to charge what they like and people either put up with that or be homeless.

Renting should be a temporary measure, however nowadays people can’t afford to actually buy homes because renting means they don’t have money for deposits.

Renting isn’t a choice for most people, it’s a means to keep them off the streets. The landlords have the monopoly.

Keep in dock

Refuse: use/buy an alternative

Reduce: if you have to use it (or buy it), use /buy as little as possible / until there’s an alternative

Haha innit, tbf I do like the 2010 - 2014 era of eastenders, reminds of simple times at home with my family

Eastenders at 8000 episodes be like (not a good show)

100%, if the schools were funded well enough, issuing school phones would be amazing!

School computers work well because they block most of the distractions but ofc students have 1001 distractions in their own!

For sure! A lot of parents don’t really understand the amount of stuff teachers have to go through either, and we don’t get paid for the hundreds of hours we do outside of teaching hours.

It’s why I had to quit in the end. Felt like I couldn’t give it my all because I was mentally and physically exhausted.

I’m all for giving them a chance to prove they’re able to be responsible. Especially the kids that always try hard and deserve to be trusted.

I found that a lot of kids struggled to accept any consequences of their actions, though taking their phones off them for playing games was pretty clear to them.

The amount of times I told my students they can use their phone for certain exercises, then 90% of them just went on Tiktok or played Clash Of Clans, is why is started not allowing phones.

I get that to the 10% it was super helpful but it’s just easier to not allow everyone.

Yeah, driving through Bristol is hell at the best of times

Thanks for giving me a good laugh!

What’s even funnier is I was looking through my dad’s record collection and he has a single from my drummers dad’s band! Small world

Funnily enough, I recently found out the drummer in my band’s Dad had a song in Vice City!

The movie was great, so I suppose that only says good things about the books!
