minor things that make you fume

Liverpool was one of the great cities to avoid the brexit majority, this forum says otherwise. Is the Everton sector less well educated than compared to the rest?
More educated in fact. We know where you live lad.Scouse mafia. I reckon if I asked you ten general knowledge questions on the villa you wouldn't get two correct. Fraud son.Nobody cares about Birmingham lad
 
Sake!
I have lots of respect for skilled tradesmen. More than society has for me, when with more degrees than a thermometer I could have collected a ruddy fortune in the city doing something useless for some giant corporation, but instead deciding to help build a better society for peanuts.

There is a bit of emperors new clothes in me though. I do absolutely everything in my own house that the law allows. Building work, tiling, plumbing. I've never used a garage for cars - not since I was ripped off as a youngster, and have fully restored and fitted out 2 boats and a camper van conversion. None of it is rocket science. None of it is difficult. None if it is worth a fraction of the prices I've been asked. Nor do I take as long as the professionals I've come across.

Good plastering, however, is beyond me. I acknowledge that, and I'm prepared to pay it to get a result. I was simply drawing the comparison in remuneration.

All of you attack dogs who have come running out to repress my opinion with your fervent indignation need to just pipe down and take a reality check. If a senior teacher has to work a week to pay for a day and a half of your services, you'd better show grovelling gratitude to them next time you're discussing your kids progress, and NEVER question why the quality of education is in a nose dive.
While you're at it you might want to hire a joiner to shave a few inches off that giant chip you've got on your shoulder
 

Be stuck in me head for ages now..
Reading it back this morning.... Got stuck in my head too. I never wrote that! The bleeding predictive text on my phone does my head in.
I think I was meaning to say "and a good finish is a real skill". How my phone translated that is a mystery.
No wonder people misunderstood and got in a bit of a snit! :blush:

Sounds a proper posh phrase though, if spoke in some kind of Harry Enfield voice - might use it again sometime in a different context.
 
You do realise that you've just insulted everyone with a trade on here don't you ?.
It wasn't my intention - half if what I wrote was mangled by predicted text and I apologise for any offence.
My angle was more about, comparatively, how poorly my own field of work is paid and the ruddy hoops our lot have to jump through, and the crap we have to take from kids, parents, ofsted, the government and the casual insults in the media, to take the same home.

try being a prison warden mate. offsted is playground stuff in comparison. there's always a trade worse off than the one we're in. if we don't like it we just got to find something else. life is too short

Oh the old predictive text get out card has been played here, smooth.

I wouldn't want your job mate, though inevitably most of those you deal with have been sat in classrooms at some point.
I entered education as a vocation, really wanting to pay something back into a society I valued. 30 years on, I have quit, disillusioned as to that society and how it's schools are undervalued.
I need to work with my hands, and live in my workshop making stuff. It's bliss and pressure free. As you said, life's too short. Should've done it 20 years ago.
