Lol! Sounds delightful then! So it's on record, Jamaican vodka's worth avoiding - had a real plasticy smell and aftertaste. The rum was fantastic though!

Ack, no. Can't stand the taste of whisky, and I can pick it out no matter what I try to mask it with. I'm good with just about any other spirit, but not that!

Maybe it's a tad harsh. Just a tad. I'm off for a Scotch. Enough from me tonight; I'm not good for this board at the moment....I could pick a fight with myself given the mood I'm in. Laters Mike. And sorry. fair do's mate, no need for apologies! I just get the impression that POG is an easy target at the mo (and he wont keep his gob shut either) so it ends in arguments about stuff we'd normally be captioning and taking the piss out of! Maybe POG should curb his enthusiasm a tad, and everyone else cut him some slack??? ......and they all lived happily ever after!

Yea i may be crazy but it seems like an idea i would like. I'm currently doing some work experience, i was in a year 1 class today and i loved it and im stayting at that school until christmas, every Thursday afternoon . I know there is MUCH more to it but i would love to be a teacher. I think Imp is a teacher i was just wondering if she enjoyed it or if anyone knows a teacher if they enjoy it? Katie, Katie, Katie...ready for your lengthy lecture? I bloody love my job, it's totally wonderful. It's seriously hard work, it can easily take over your life if you don't watch out (in my NQT year, i was regularly working a 60+ hr week, and I was by no means an exception) and if you're in a permanent post, the half-term holidays are really just "working from home" weeks. You'll have to assess the kids every step of the way, get pissed off with having more targets to hit than a rifle range, deal with complete eejits who tell you how to do their job even though they've not set foot in a classroom for 20 years BUT... when the kids come in and start making up a song about how happy they are for their teacher to have thier voice back (my kids are wierd), or when you get a random hug, or when you get the most fantastic sight of all, a kid who suddenly looks up and says "Oh, I get it now!" - that's why you do it. Money's not great, but the 6 week break rocks! One little extra: POG - secondary teachers don't get paid more. Pay is based on where you are on the payscale, where you teach (outer London, Inner London, the 'fringe' or the rest of England/Wales), if you have a TLR point, if you're an Advanced Skills teacher etc. Not necessarily harder to get on a PGCE course...a lot of the guys on that course when I was at uni freely admitted that the only reason they were on the course was because they didn't know what else to do and it was an easy option. Thats exactly what i wanted to hear . Thanks for that and i really think i will enjoy it . Thanks exalted
