Well I had to be dragged to see it, so i won't suggest any non fan should go and see it.0 -

Exactly, not AS controversial
Borat was completely antisemtic and poked fun at every kind of demographic.
This is just insulting to some gay people and black people (from that particular scene your on about!)
On an off topic note:
Fcukin GOLFERS!!! :mad::mad:
The irish open is just down the road from me and all the highty-tighty ignorant pricks that have taken the place over.
Arhhhhh....

Score!
One two hour lesson plan drawn up, covering seven topics. Done a lot quicker than i thought I would too. That gives me all of tomorrow to design the exercise sheets and worked examples.
Took six hours to do most of a two hour lesson plan. Whoever says teachers are overpaid are talking out their hole and have no idea how much work they have to put in outside of school hours, especially if they're given a new class.
I'm wrecked. I'm gonna take this well deserved break now. 0 -

Thinking about investing in a new mp3 as the 30gb one is nearly full, whats the biggest mp3 going does anyone know? I saw a 120gb one on ebay. Any recomendations?
120 gb.
Apple ipod classic.

Pretty sure you can get them in currys these days for €200.
Was half considering getting one except ive had a creative for years now and ive filled my 30gb too
No point getting a new MP3 when it only holds the same amount.0 -

Good man yourself. Might have to invest in that soon enough, fingers crossed for a summer job0 -

Right guys, suck it in, because i'm ready to f*cking blow.
Since last Saturday, save for one day I was lucky to take off for a break, all i have done is work my f*cking ass off! I am mentally burnt out and on the verge of a mass killing spree.
My sanity has f*cked off and took the bus headed in the opposite direction that I've been going all week. So I will share my pain, I feel it's only fair.
- On Saturday and Sunday, i sat in on some fellow students doing their teaching practice, and whilst it was somewhat informative, i've also seen some of the mistakes that can happen, either by lack of preparation, or inadequete college facilities that obviously, are beyond my control. As a result of the taking mental notes, i also pretty much sh*t a brick, knowing full well, that was going to be me on that podium one week from that Sunday.
- College on Monday, and it turns out I was nowhere near prepared for my ICT case study exam, so that was back to the drawing board. I've also been told that for my teaching practice on Sunday, i'll need to use at least one visual aid. I wasn't prepared for that, for two reasons.
1) My handwriting is utter bollocks, so using a whiteboard is out of the question
2) The rooms are too bright at 2pm to even consider a projector and screen, the guys I sat in fell into that trap and found the facility completely unusable.
... and people wonder why I've been in crap humour this week, eh?
- Distressed, distraught and discomforted, I took tuesday off. A friend came up and we hit the bars and coffee shops of Dublin, i'm still off booze, and while i've no problem walking into a bar and asking for a non alcoholic Erdinger, it would help if i was able to drown out the disaster that has been the weekend and Monday, but whatever. The gig was awesome and got to meet the performer after. Much as i'd love to talk about that, despite the fact that Aitken promoted it, it took place in a venue that's banned from discussion here, so that's the end of that.
- Wednesday, my better half comes back from work sick as a dog and barely able to function. So that leaves me playing Florence Nightengale for the day. I've no problem with that at all, she's done it for me several times in the past, but unfortunately my friend was up for both days, and I had to leave her in Dublin on her own for the day. Needless to say i'm guilty if i went in or didn't. So i had to pick the one who would be most likely not to hang it on my head for weeks later. So i arrange to meet her the next morning for breakfast before she heads home.
- I go through my lesson plan, to discover to my horror that i have nowhere near the amount of work I had planned to cover the two hour class on Sunday! Under the normal run of things, i'd be tearing my hair out at this point, only i don't got none! If i wasn't going bald through natural courses, i'd be going bald from stress at this point! Lesson plan finalised for the day. It's gonna be a long thursday and friday!
- After an early night on Wednesday, i'm up relatively early on Thursday, with the intention of getting in for 9, only the Harristown Triangle strikes again (where you see a rake load of buses going in that direction of Harristown Garage, but they ain't coming back out of there!). I hate those lazy, unmotivated shower of c*nts! Phibsborough Garage should never have been touched, at least Dublin Bus provided a decent service when i lived in Finglas, but since I moved, and Phibsborough drivers moved to Harristown, it's gone to complete and utter sh*t. I wait for about 25 minutes in the pissing rain on a damn bus, that C R A W L S into town. I'd have been quicker getting out of the stupid thing, decking and knocking out the driver and pushing the bus into town! That's how slow we were running.
And if another country dweller tells me how good we have it up here with the public transport service, i'll knock their teeth in too!!
- I make it in... at 9.30! And her bus is at 11am. Thankfully we're still able to do breakfast. So i order my morning mocha, she has a smoothie, and we're wondering where the f*ck our bagels are?! About 15 minutes later, i ask. Of course, the staff forgot about us. I kept my cool, going nuts in there wasn't going to serve a purpose. There's nothing to do in Dublin at 10am on a weekday morning in the pissing rain anyway and we weren't far from her bus stop so it worked to our advantage to stay in the place as long as we could. So we discussed the gig, plans for the rest of the week, 11pm comes and she goes.
- I should have gone home there shouldn't I? Nah, i end up visiting a mate and dropping in a CD to him. I should have gone straight away, but no. I talked for bloody hours. I made it back home for 4pm!!
- I get stuck into the 2 hour plan at 4.30 and save for a 20 minute break to eat something at around 7.30pm, i finish up at 10.30pm. Now we're talking. I was prepared for an all nighter, mocha at the ready! Which brings us to...
TODAY!
- .... and i get writers block! I'm supposed to be knocking exercise sheets and worked examples out of the f*cking park, but i've only gotten 4 out of 6 done. This sh*t is in for Sunday, and i still have to prep and double check everything for Sunday, which is what i'm hoping tomorrow will be used for. I feel like a hermit because save for two days out of the guts of the past week, i've been stuck in this poxy apartment in sh*t mood.
- I'm dropping up to a mate to fix his laptop in a few hours, and why am I doing it?
BECAUSE I NEED THE F*CKING BREAK! Yes, only good ol' SR fixes laptops for a break!
No amount of facepalms can express how i'm feeling right now. I'm physically and psychologically drained, and here's the worst thing about it.
For taught lessons, i have to do this all again next week. And on top of all this, once Sunday is over with and done, i have to go back to the books cos my f*cking case study is on the following monday.
Load up the f*cking guns, because russian roulette is very tempting right now.
And i'm done. Thanks for reading!0 -
