I was invited to a reunion by a kid I thought was a complete oval office, looked at the message board and it was all the cunts who made my life hell at school, so I used the handy contact list to block them all and then played viddy games. E: mods are having a nap, post Forbidden Dogs Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 18:40 on May 27, 2023 |

our big school reunion (which had been yearly up to that point) got cancelled since our year apparently all hated each other and no-one wanted to go and they haven’t had one since

Definite stochastic terrorism moment from "it's only a matter of time until someone runs one of these people over or batters them, which I'm not suggesting they do" It is only a matter of time, with all that's going on, that one of our viewers rams the gates of Downing Street, and that would be a terrible thing, absolutely terrible, especially if they were a paedo and hadn't destroyed their hard drive in advance.

Got one in a couple of weeks. Not 100% sure I'll go yet but the lunch is normally pretty good and there are a couple of friends I've stayed in touch with over the years going. Also there's a big change in the organisation after this school year so it won't be the same ever again.

Chuck may not have done himself a favour by having her right up there next to him on the fancy chair.

No, a Ripple, because it tastes so much better. I will accept Twirl as a substitute though.

I'd rather ditch the tie than the jacket. Except in this weather then skip both.

One of my brothers was a labtech in a comprehensive school and just wore a t-shirt under his white coat. Then the school became an academy & the head teacher got a payrise to something well north of £100k. She then said every male member of staff (teacher or not) had to wear a tie. My bro doesn't do ties for anyone or anything. He quit rather than wear a tie. And as he was almost the last labtech because they kept getting rid of labtechs to save money that put the head in a bit of a bind.

I decided to stop wearing a suit at february half term and wear t-shirt, black cargo trousers and hiking shoes every day. Nobody mentioned it until last week, then my head of faculty asked. I just said I don't like wearing suits and also the dress code is sexist, she was wearing a white t-shirt with birds on it at the time. We have agreed I can just keep going until SLT notice. Some students asked about it so I told them suits are just a way of dividing the working class and I refuse to go along with it because it doesn't affect my ability to teach physics.

Or the school was built like one of those weirdo aristo houses where the labtechs could remain unseen at all times.

I don't think my school had technicians either, the chemistry classes were in special classrooms with these huge wooden benches linked up to the gas, and cupboards that contained lab equipment underneath. I think the chemistry teachers mostly did the tech work, maybe? I'm not sure exactly what that work would have involved. but I never met a tech, at least, not even when I was I'm also boggling a bit at the assertion that teachers are expected to wear a suit and tie. Maybe I just never noticed the jackets of the male teachers if they'd hung them up somewhere but they wore shirts and most of them but definitely not all wore ties, but there's really only one teacher (other than the head teacher, of course) I can remember actually wearing a suit jacket. Mind you my school didn't require pupils to wear shirts, ties or blazers (at the time) so maybe mine was the exception and I never realised we were so unusual. Or it's a complete false memory and they were all wearing suits and I've just forgotten.

At mine the labtechs usually did what they do (stock checking, replacing depleted chemicals, cleaning, safely disposing of the different wastes, making sure broken glassware is noted and replaced) between lessons in the labs, so you could easily have missed them if you weren't aware.

But definitely existed. More about the preparation of chemicals before you'd get to play with them, ordering new stuff in, making sure that Biology had cows liver to chuck in acid & show how stomachs dissolve food, or that the multimeter for Physics isn't broken. Like, if you got the demo of a Group 1 metal chucked in water, it was the labtech who made sure the lithium was kept in oil. Obviously more to it than that, but that's just the first example that comes to mind. poo poo was 21 years ago

I don't remember any lab techs at my school (80s); the teachers set everything up. Which is probably how I once somehow ended up in possession of a box of alpha emitters and realised "I could do all kinds of amusing things with these if I was evil." [eyes pockets of kids I dislike] Luckily for them, I wasn't.
