Unsurprisingly, after spending the last week or so listening to students cough and sneeze through lessons, I'm feeling pretty ropey.

Mock Paper 1 on Tuesday, Paper 2 on Thursday and After School Maths on Monday and Wednesday.

21 more get ups. 💪🏼

Another 40 students in despite an epidemic of flu and COVID.

I'd like to say it's down to my excellent teaching, but free drinks and pizza might be the draw.

I'm 55.

Not quite as old as Farage, but I remember loads from my mid teens.

Especially, I remember the bullies.

Dicks then. I assume dolicks now.

Leopards, spots, etc.
Fortunately I never had to suffer bullying like the Jewish students at Dulwich College. But Farage is clearly lying when he says that people wouldn't remember such bullying.

At my wife's sixth form college they held a mock election. One candidate was disabled, and another candidate made it his

Today, my little girl (aged 31) bought her first house.

Two and a half years ago, she was waiting for a liver transplant and literally at death's door.

I'm super proud of her.

Now, all three of my kids have a house (mortgaged, obvs) of their own. All aged >35.

Not bad, little pig. Not bad.

Farage really on the ropes there.
Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

It was years ago.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not in a hurtful way.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not with intent.

Not genuine abuse.

I try, and I think, I'm not a very stressed person.

It has taken me years of experience and counselling to get here.

Between shit solicitors and passive aggressive ex wives (20+ years ex, her choice), my zen is being pretty tested.

4 hours sleep yesterday.

Hopefully, a mini coma tonight.
