    whats a good reason to be a teacher?

    am thinking of changing career paths. not exactly my 1st choice but one i think i could do. and not sure what else i could/would want to do really. but am not 100% positive that i am doing this for the 'right reasons'. am doing a placement at the moment at a school to see if this is really...

    hospitality/manners - the decline of etc

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/jun/02/hospitality-come-dine-with-me kind of inspired by this article (though i dont really see how come dine with me is to blame or symbolic of this) but ive found recently that at a lot of restaurants, service is pretty... if not dire...

    people playing music on the bus/train through their phones (yknow youre old when...)

    is there anything worse than this? (dont think this has been covered on dissensus before) and i dont want to hear about any painfully liberal readings of this as youth reclaiming public space the youth should realise its not THEIR space alone, they SHARE it with other people... who dont want to...

    'what school did you go to?'

    an anti tory poster someone did for the election, which still rings true. i find it funny how people still ask that to suss you out or to form some sort of judgement. i got asked it the other week by a girl who from the sounds of it would def be voting cameron and was just out of university...

    rolling theatre thread 2010

    as part of my new attempt to try and see more plays, i am starting this thread. i saw porn the musical in south london this week. quite funny in places, sort of like avenue q, though too much self consciousness overall. seemed like it was padded out with self reflexiveness towards the end in...

    fucking kids.

    just got some stuff stolen at the bloody swimming pool by a load of teenagers. was having a shower, my key must have dropped on the ground or something and some kids must have nicked it and ransakced my locker. dont think they took more than 8 quid, and my oyster with a fiver on it, but im...

    kick ass

    so which bbc radio station would you like to see go?

    anyone here care about the closure of 6 music or asian network? i think if theyre getting rid of those two, they should get rid of 1xtra too. then downsize the staff of radio 1 and 2. everyone knows theyre unnecessarily bloated. then just get rid of half the people on radio 2 and fill it up with...

    how to be british

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/17/how-to-be-british-hadley-freeman this made me laugh a bit. though its all very well to do stuff about britishness. the M&S thing is true though. they have some great food but it is a bit steep at times. plus im still annoyed they got rid...
