Pub in Carlisle station is shut, nightmare.
Been afternoon drinking with some top ATDs from way back. Now ready to go to sl
I feel asleep watching this. It’s pap.
Found a piece of shit bass at our new practice space today. Brought it home to fix it up and while I was dismantling it I thought I’d improve it a bit.
ffs
This is clearly how Father Dougal would decorate a musical instrument
ruel fox is such a good name
It’s a great name. He want on first and then I went “Fuck it!” and added the rest.
Watched goals of the season 93/94, saw a corking ruel fox one
Have to say the standard of keeping was poor though.
There are obviously pics of both cats in the cat thread, dummy

tbh i just read the opening couple paragraphs filled with your usual mentions of UKIP/racism and skipped the rest. If you had just written about mental health issues i wouldn’t have liked the post.
To spite the likes of @TKC, this is the prompt my class of EFL 6th formers ended up with for this week’s creative writing session- create a short horror comic in pairs from whatever ideas It Took The Night To Realise gave them. Last week we did some 100 word stories from Boards of Canada’s Reach For the Dead . Ideas included nuclear war, the aftermath of ISIS invading your town, and dying alone.
That’s a great idea!
They’re very smart kids with a high level of English who have voluntarily chosen to come on a 2-week English course, so just repeating the sort of stuff from textbooks they do back home isn’t going to cut it.
The weekly project theme this week is “Health”, so I’m going to show them some of those terrifying old public safety videos like “I am the spirit of dark and lonely water” and they have to create their own.
I remember my english teacher doing this with Whats He Building In There by Tom Waits at the time I was like what the f is this he’s lost the plot
My entire teaching strategy.
Actually last week we had a boy whose favourite tv show is Twin Peaks. He and his two mates left the school disco early, to watch a Russian film I’d mentioned in class (Tarkovsky’s Stalker). It makes my life very easy.
It really make a difference to kids when a teacher brings intheir own inspirations. My best teacher was my English one in high school, cause he always used examples of films and books which were not on the curriculum to illustrate his point, and it really made an impression
