Responding to Online Comments and Criticism

Hello and welcome to the College andon podcast. I'm coming to you, a very, very tired man. Yeah from the from the holiday And let's just get the cords on the table straight away I said I was going to go And three days with the lads the golf trip And there was a pool thereay. I was gonna to swim every day Godad. D a fuck. I swam there the first day and that was it. It was u I wasn't happy to get away. I really was. So the night before we flew, right? and I picked Lill up from school. And the teacher came over. And she was like, just so you know Lily bless her when she was trying to go over the toilet during the day She was saying that it was hurt now when a wheez. and I was just like, ah shit, Lake You know, that's that's a UTI all day, inn't it And so had to go to the poor liady. She didn't want to weave. She tried to go a couple of times and she was just crying her eyes out proper screaming. like I've never seen her in that much pain before. My Bloody heart was breaking for her bless her So Soophie's on the phone to one hundred eleven. trying to get in ale because you bring the doctors And then the doctor says Bing one one one. If you just ring one onele It doesn't work, but if you get referred to the don't I don't know how it works. It's all it's all to go to the walk in center. The the Pontelland Road one Doctor was lovely as well, by the way I'm jumping ahead of myself, but I could have ced when you give with a blooditty antibiotics. antibiotics. Antibiotics Let's go Z There was a doctor in them and in Jara. I can't remember was I'm gonna Mayfield Medical Center is that Is that the Gossfath one? orr is that the Jarro one Got, I remember the Jarrow one now when I was a kid Demn, is it Mfie, let's have a look Jarro phharmacy. It's not Palmmer's. We're the fuck Mayor Field Medical. Sorry about this. going off on one, but there was a doctor There was Agie Betty it wasn't him. He was always on ITV and I'll A GBD But where's Mayfield? But no this was an Irish doctor Marfield Medical Center. fucks that. I just I had it there. Jara, Yeahah, yeah, Mayfield. Okay, great. So there was another doctor and he was Irish. And I remember he kept saying antibiotics And I thought I was fourteen. I thought it was the funniest thingve ever I've ever heard. I'm looking at me dad like going like, whyy are you not laughing? because we're both trying to talk to the doctor so don't be so Don't be so bloody, ignorant But yeah, so I mean, thank fuck we' got anointment. We got seen so we're going to the Pontelland Rad one in Cowgate Mike is out and There was just, you know, as you'd imagine in a walking center just people absolutely coughing the bait off was rank us out. And I'm there with Lillily. And you know, we've got an eight fifteen appointment The doctors running late,'s running half an hour late. All right, fine, no big deal but based on the symptoms that we You know, you've given her, she's going to need to give a sample. So at this point I'd already been to the pharmacy on the estate and got like some I was something sit rate potassium citrate, a foul tasted thing. I drank some with her out of solidarity. The poor thing had to dilute it in water for her and she was giving her that, giving her juice And sheahada away before we took her and the smile on her face like the relief when she was able to go, like it was o man. it was so cananny and then We'll get there. It's quarter past M at this point I'm sitting in the like how do you get us so, you know, you need to get a four year old to give a sample. So I'm doing the old toilet seat trick where I've got my arms, we're in the toilet and I'm using my arms as a toilet seat as I would If If them You know, she wanted to go for a way outside you know like in a bush or whatever if you're driving on the side of a motorw and all that. But I'm trying to cu a like holder with one arm and then and then put the cup underneath with the funnel like I'm trying to seill the bloody wipe by fluid in the car And to no avail. she wass like, dad I can't go, I can't go. So then than I mean, thank fuck, the doctor was running late because that was enough time to go get her a water. And finally she was given a sample at about eight forty and I had the doorer of the toilet like wedged open so that I could hear our name being called Bess us. So I I was doing that and then I like She filled the thing and then and then some so then she was just like you know, pissing all over me arm. arm full of piss actually, you know, let's go back face full of piss and notenter. this was an arm full of piss And then I'm keeping the door open And I'm closing the lid and Lily's just blessing. She's going, Dad, can I hold it? Can I hold? can I hold the sample? I was like, No, no, daring, no, you can't hold it, You can't hold it. And He was like, but it's my we then we got seen we just need to give her these antibiotics And I said at this point it was like nine o'clock at night, it was gone nine. And like I say, I'm going on holiday like the the flights at like We're getting I'm getting up at five hundred forty five the next day and I still haven't packed or anything. because that was going to be me pac in time I've not packed there's like a stack of emails, I've still not got back to because did I fuck do any of them on holiday as well? And And I said like is there like an all night pharmacy somewhere where I can get these he was like, don't worry, we've got some spares. I'm just gonna I'm just going to give you them. And honestly I nearly started tearing up in front of his face there because I was just like, Oh, bless you, man. I was like, thank you Thank you so much. Soever whoever that doctor was at the Pont Eelland Road one on Thursday night Thank you very very much for that. like he was he was lovely. you looked after well And then Yeah, and then it was like put the put Lily to bed. Alice was already to bed. And then it was get packing. Oh I think I went for a run, didn't that? Yeah. went for a run at like half ten at night and then I had a couple of medos while I was packing my case at like eleven o'clock just to just again to the holiday holiday party mood Then it was up the next day and there was a few painintts M G got the next couple of them celebratory steak steak be sausage and bean melt at Greg's. I had one of them and it was stone cold And we're at the airport in Gregs Sorry, I g Gregs at the airport Hi this is Greg. It's gott an airport now. and it's And it was like six in the morning and normally I'll just I'll accept it now. I was like, right fine. But I went back and I swpped it. I was like, excuse meate, is there any chance I can just swap this for a for like a sauce drall because the sauce drawll looked warmer. the Susage be been melt with Stone cold and Ramseay and Sean and Jordan the door like all right and Michael like are ye You know, you're being grumpy already and I was just went, well, no I just put Like how early do you need to get up man? Like How early do you need to get up in Greg for something to be hot? And I can tell you now, six o'clock in the morning isn't early enough It's's it's a fucking foss. So I went I was like, isry if I swap this for like, I'll swap for a sausage roll and I'll eat the ninety pence price difference. I don't mind Like and then he was like, hold on, hold on. And he went back and he was like, we've got warm ones. Yeah, if you fancy them. I was like, yes, always Always fancy the don't lead with the clay cold stuff. alwaysways lead with the warm stuff. please going forward, but thankfully he did. he swapped it for us and I was That was very niceative of him. And then yeah I mean, the flight was great. I don't really recall much We were all just kind of sat dim. Well three of the lads were sat U rule one. And then Sean was sat in between I was like in row three, three C. And then Sean was I really he must have been Ty. And it was funny actually because Sean listenens to the podcast. so hello me, all right. he was like, right? well because I had my podcast to listen to, which was the atttitude Ea podcast and we werere going do a Book review. on part eleven on there Bret Hitmanhorth autobiography. So that's well up my street. that came out like five days before the flight and I was like, rightight, I'm going save that for the flight. That's me, That's great. I'll have a couple of magnas on the flight and I'll listen to that and ended up falling asleep listen to that And Ramseay gleefully told us that while people were saying hello to him waiting to go to the toilet that seven people spotted me as well was like, Oh is that C? is it? Hes having a nice time? H he fucking passed out already? No, I was just I was just enjoying the sleep. I was just enjoying the rest and the peace of not having to be your dad for a couple of days. it was fucking brilliant. And then I Sean just went, right, Well I've got my podcast and he was listening to One of these you listen to like me What of these episodes He listened to the colleges and podcast And I went Sean just tell us which episode is is and I'll fucking tell you what I said. But actually no, I said, you know what fuck that becauseuse I've got mindlist do, you've got yours. so Well, I'll see y you. I'll see you in, Spain. And that we did It was a short little thirteen minute ride to where or may have been twenty to to Sleu Hotel was grave, like no no complaints whatsoever M And I'm going to credit Mc Fery this as well. And I know Mick Mick said it on a Facebook post, comedian McFery He said it a couple of years ago now and its stuck in me head. And and he obviously saw it before before it became a big massive thing But you know, when I'm going on holiday with the lads and when I'm going on holiday with Sophie next week, she's like, you know, get some nice decent holiday clothes, get some nice, you know, chino esque shorts L some nice smart looking swimming shorts around the pool and and a nice t shirt, you know Doesn't have to be a fancy thing but a decent t shirt for around the pool, so you're not just going around looking a clip Well them A lot of people near Most people on that holiday don't have clearly donon't have a Sfie in the life And because the expression I'm going to Borrow from McFery here is a lot of people going around in P Ats Like sports Borts topop bllue sports Adi desktop and then the matching Blue Adidas shorts And if it's not blue, it's green. And if it's not green, it's red And if it's not red, it's yellow. It's people going around in the PE kits. slliders on and socks, socks pulled up all the way up. Mkey cap, sometimes a chain outside of the pay kit. So everyone knows I've got a monkey chain. There's just a lot of a lot of growth Gross bad guys kicking about, people who are just inherently evil by the looks of them just going around the Mkey old Manky old P top Mankyu old chain. So other than that it was quite a nice holiday actually. but you know, you don't You don't care too much about that There was a guy Bloody going around on the last day, saw him with his arm out with like cling film over because he's recently got a tattoo while he's went out there getting a tattoo when you're on holiday and then walking around the pool with your bloody cling film on because you kind of get a wet is the absolute fucking pits like like if you If you went missing un holly, I would u I would pledge for a national holiday of celebration when I got back And then hey there's one lastess person like him in this world. now let's all Let's all have a bank holiday. There's monkeys Mkeys fk people All right, okay, so no. No, I didn't swim every day When we arrived on the Thursday we they didn't have any golf schedule so we all just I just did a day drin and by the pool all day, which was lovely. wentent for a nice meal on the evening and dare Yeah, just just kind of went when ended up going to this u It was like a nice grill place actually like, so A couple of the lads got a burger. I think I got a fillet steak and I think like there was just like lots of food just flying around the place. There was a carbon there was like a like an auxiliary carbon aura just doing the rounds between the five were werere all on the beers all end up getting nice cocktails as well. I think I got an old fashioned and a Long Island icice tea and I think Michael got an old fashioned too. And then after the meal were talkking about, you know I want to go and get some ice cream as well. and I was like like I want to get a nice bitty holiday ice cream Like and I just said to the lads, I went, Hey it's fucking class is going crackers, isn't it? Like it's great just It's great just doing what you want. I got back the day. and aboutbout yeah, twenty four hours ago now and back half eleven at night on the Sunday. onlyly an hour's time difference, but mart, isn't it? It's like I'm thirty eight now and I felt the hours time difference. When I was twenty three and I was going to Thailand, like God knows what the jet lack was on that on Mexico evenven or even when I was Dubai. And, you know, you're talking like six to eight hours and I could easily just get up on say it was a Tuesday, be awake all day Tuesday, like flying and then get to wherever I am Wednesday. and because of the time difference, you don't have to go to bed until another twelve hours And I would just plow through it. I'd just be like, all right,s fine. I'll just I'll just go to bed at night when it's night. And you know, like Now with thirty eight if it's like it was an hour's difference and I'm walking around all day going like I I mean, I'm really glad that way. I'm really glad I got back at half eleven. I could imagine how I would feel if I got back at half twelve instead of half eleven. I'm really counting me blessings that For that extra hour am And it was it was eye opening really We found a little place well, the ice cream as well. I was like, you know when you're on holiday, like I want to get like like a fun ice cream, like not just an ice cream, an ice cream, that's got something in it. Like I got a hankering for a Kinda Bueno ice cream Be you know everywhere does stuff now with the just fucking h your chocolate bar in Do you want an Oreo ice cream or do you want a Kindabbeno ice cream or do you want a fucking galaxy caramel ice cream A galaxy caramel or a Rbeno on their own is tremendous. An ice cream on its own is tremendous Together, it's fucking decadent and you should only do it once a year when you're on holiday and I was unholy So when you know what I want a nice fucking Kindabueno ice cream here So I'm walking around with the lads, findind a place. It was just like a Ben and Jerry shop did like the equivalent of going to the fucking M and M shop in Leicester Square. So I was say fs get Ben and Jerry's and then went aroundound the corner and then was saw like what looked to be a more authentic Saloo fucking ice cream shop And I Rams I bought Ramseyay and ice cream and he was like, Iy look at that man. Bloody got me this fucking took me to Bowling Cinemamon. We could have had the real thing aroundound there. We found a little Irish place for for the dubliner It's called the Dubliner. wind up going there every single night and then yeah, wake up the next day. All the lads are playing golf. I skip breakfast I paid for breakfast for all three mornings, skpp skipped did all three mornings. so that was that was a good waste of money. I think it was only like a ten h if you paid ahead, but still it a waste of thirty quid, right? should have been a little bit more careful and that with my money, but yeah, I didn't know that two months ahead of time when I'm booking it, right? I was like, I forget I'll get the breakfast great then them just had a nice little I didn't leave the hotel every every day until after twelve o'clock. So that's when I went and had my first swim, but it was like it was too much of a fuck on. Like I went down to the spa And the pool was fine. It wasn't massive. It was probably about eighteen meters you know The one I can do me eighty Lenss in is like a twenty five meter pool. and this was eightyeen. and I was like, o go, right, okay. And then you couldn't even push off well because it was steps. It wasn't a pool that you meant to be doing Lenss in. You it had a holiday pool, right? And you had to wear a swimming hat. Only there in Dublin have had to do that before. But then the last was like, have well called donon't do the accent, first of all, haveave you made a reservation And I went, what for the pool? I went, Ohh yes, so you need a reservation for the pool. I went, Okay, what happens if I don't have a reservation? Well, we'll call in the pool. And it was like twenty five past twelve. And I went, all right, can I book one for twenty five past twelve? The one like certainly soir I just got a clipboard out and I had to write my name and my room number and that was me making the reservation. So it was fucking pointless. madeade us go back up in your room, get three euros for a swimming hat and all that shit And there's people that walking around doing the fucking BS bar, which just means you're having a BA in the pool But you've got a book go to the fucking pool and get a beer. Do know what I mean? the's beS spa for heavens sake then, um and then Yeah, I'm just kind of like swimming up and down, but it's like it's so small. I just feel like a goldfish And I was just like, I don't need to be doing this every day, man, that's f en. I do enough when I'm back home like I'll just I'll skip this So then yeah, just had a nice little walk around. I I wanted to go and get some. I wanted to u I'd like do the jet ski on my own or do parasailing on my own, but every time I went to the beach I asked they were saying like it was like a two and a half hour wait again, you got to make a reservation. So what I should have done is made one for like the The Saturday S if get there on the Thursday and then reserve one for the Saturday. But again, you don't want to be you don't want to be tied into these things. It was spontaneous. I'd be walking around with nothing to do and went to the supermarket, got myself some Walking around cans. when I'd ran out of them I went to a bar had some long island expertise It just got nice and steaming during the day, waiting for them to get back. And then I would go to the pool, get me wrestling podcasts on, various ones I listened to and And had just wait for them to get back, but I've done a bit too much day drinking. See, some people see that there'll be some people who listen to that and they go, o, that sounds fantastic. And then there'll be other people going Christ callalls and not like, you never get lonely, just being on your own And I think you never sometimes you're never really alone when you've got about six voices in your head constantly. I was like that's like I've got like there's a narrator constantly there. There's an observer There's a judge who reminds you of every single thing that you've done in your life that makes you cringe. and then there's a little sidekick who cheers you up. And then there's two more voices who would prefer not to be named. So no never really alone, as Haalen Peace said. you're never alone with the voices in your head and then obviously face tank the kids as well Lily bless her. She's looking so like So growning up, like I just got this is so sweet, you know, I got like I was first time in and the first thing she said because she knows I on a holiday, she just went, Oh you're having a nice time? And it was just like The first time I'm talking to my daughter You know, not as my daughter, but like a like a real person. Do you know what I mean? Like it just one of the first times I've looked at that like a grown upp rather than just just Lily, you know, but are you having a nice time. I was like, yes, Donl I'm having a great time. Thank you very much. And then Before long, you know, the lants were back and I was jumping in the pool And they said, Ohh, you got a couple of funny looks there because I must have splashed a couple of old people. And I was like, right, well, they call that their receipt For every time I've tried to get a drink at the bar and there's eight of them on some sort of special old Tatz trip And they' all again, wouldn't you know it, ordering fucking coffes C't even can get away with it on holiday. C't even get away from it. all there fucking I I could just yeah fucking them Well, not quite quite it was four. I heard eight, whatever eight is ancho Ancho Eespresso. I was even though it's fucking expespresso, you w't get fucked. So I was like, well, they can get fucked. I don't care. I don't care about anyone around this holiday pool. They're all ordering coffees. He's got his fucking Mgy clling film on. I was like, I'll happy get them all wet. And then I've just got a I've got a special photo to share with you. If you want to go on me Patron now, it's Patron d. com slash call Hutchinson. I'll put the I'll put the photo on and I'll put it with the title of what Ramseay send it into the the group chat. So the second night I had to get put to bed, Chris had to put us to bed. He said I've never seen you like that before. I thought I was alright. I think it's because we started drinking wine at the meal. so that's on top of the cocktails and the beer that I've been having all day and then holiday wine as well. and then we finish it off with a couple of guinness. So I think that was me body just doing a fucking control I'll delete really. So yeah, Chris had to carriry us to bed. and then I woke up, bless him and it was like I don't know where he got them from. but there was like two chocolates on me pillow, like two hotel chocolates on the pillow next to my bed and a nice big bottle of water. So he said he came in closed loseed me curtains first, turn the lights off chocolate and a bottle of water. Then not before leaving he took a photos And you put it in the group chat just in L it's like with an Amazon parcel just in your package has been delivered So yeah, get on patron d. com slash call Hutchinson You don't have to pay for it obviously That'll be a free photo to look at And while you're there, there are forty odd episodes that you can help yourself to for as little as three pounds a month, I believe. You can, you know, just get on there for three pound for one month, listen to forty episodes. Don't ever subscribe again. Cncil would never hold it against you And So yeah, I'll put that on now. So yes, overall Fastic holidity. but I'm low key And goos today And then had to get straight back So got back straight up this morning at like I don't know, I think it was half six. and then Sophie was at Dumba tonight so it was like Looking after Alice all day. Livy's at school and then um and then the bloody Dinner bed and bath all on my own, but no complaints because Sophie' has just done it for the last four nights on her own. so Just u just low key can't complain to anybody in the house or to anyone listening for that matter, but I am Looky. Fucked. I really am I'm just But not out there and then them Oh yeah, theres one last thing I want to address before I go I put a little video, you know, rememember when I said I was going to round the twist last week and ended up going like a few times. So last week, what was what was half term like last week? Let's you know what? In fact, I think it's still in me notes ye. So let us let us fnd I was I meant to be charging this phone while I was fucking recording the fxch, I think I was. Does't matter. it's fine. So yeah yeah, so the hof term. So what do we do on the Sunday it was the beach at Whitley Bay and then Lily's friend came around the garden for hot dogs and I got the bouncy castle out. Monday we did cragside And and then went to Cata and Emas for barbecue. Tuesday, we did Marine Park, South Sields, Wednesday around the twist The Thursday was the park and a meal out Takaking Lily to Gymnastics. Tymouth was Friday was Tymemouth, Jungle Park And we did just a day in the house on the Saturday with the bountcy castle out Sunday Gibbside and then Monday the last day. and was round the twist. that was the teacher inset day So if people listen to this all over the world, an inset day, I guess is teacher training day, whatever the equivalent would be. The teachers have to be in the school Damn the children do not. the pupils do not So, you know, I'm there with Lily and Amid because A mates's just back from holidays. so I thought I'll take I'll take Ava, right And the two moms Kate and Dawn, they can just have the What do you call it the time to themselves they can unpack and just decompress after the holiday? w I had a fucking chance to her and you know what in fairness, Kate did take Lily to school this morning. So you know I mean help helps each other out. So I'm taking them around the twist, thinking for whatever reason, I thought it was just like our school that would be off or a couple of schools in the area that would be off I don't know how, why? I didn't realize this, but apparently Inset day just means all the schools are rough on that day. So I think everyone in Round the Twist had the same idea. Everyone just thought it was local to their school or a couple of schools in the area and not every single school. So I have never seen that Round the Twist. so so busy. than that day, right And I thought it would just be fun because I've never the reason I put it out is because I've never seen the color coordinated seats It's like red, blue, green everyone's favorite peak. It's right. It but there's like, you know, like a couple of hundred seats I've I've only ever been there with Alice, a Lily When there's like just the first row of seats of So like all the yellows are taken, but none of the other colourors. I've never seen the full place. packed to capacity So go on me Instagram It's got like eight hundred five thousand views And I just thought I'd put like a little thing it's while Lilyy and Ava were running down running up the stairs to go down the slide. and I was meeting them. and I just thought I put something out saying a shout out to the Tat who scheduled an inset day right after half term meaneing I've had, you know, b b bap of a half term and then he has an extra bonus ball of an inset day right the end And oh my God, the comments that I God. like, I mean, first of all, I want to say it like I'm no way was I having to go at any teachher for that manatter. like I understand that's a day that teachers have to be there You know, you are told you have to be there, but then you don't get paid for it as well. It's not it's not great. I don't think the teachers get a good deal with that And I should know because I was a teacher for two years, but That's like a whole lifetime ago now, right? But yeah, some of the some of the comments, man, it was like, one of them was and for the first time I startorted like just replying to these because I was like, you, all it's all engagement. And by the looks of it, whooever these comments are, thanks very much because I've sold a decent amount of tickets and every I got the ticket report through the day And I was like, all right, well, that clearly does work. like I guess eight hundred thousand people, like it's nearly a million, right? the Ron thing the look at your clips and the buy tickets so You know, even if that was like forty tickets or something like that. So you know, probably a bit more actually like but Yeah, like I know Aberdine jumped from You know, something like two hundred which isn't until October or twenty twenty seven actually shit because I had to move it. thanks for being so understanding, Aberdine give you an example. Yeah, in a week it's shifted from like two hundred and twelve tickets to two hundred and thirty four And there were a few other places like Gameema, saw Durham like You've sold like about twenty two tickets and The city hall sold like another It I think either city also like thirty are forty. so it wasn't it wasn't nothing, you what I mean It wasn't Lords, but it wasn't nothing And I was like, okay, noise, I' I'll have a bit of I'll have a bit of this engagement. So yeah. so I've I just started like so I've made a note of a couple of the comments like if if you want to have a look. A One of them it was like Every Oh yeah so of one of the lasses was like, So sorry, do you think an inset day should just happen like in the middle in the middle of the term on a random Wednesday? And as a comedian, I'd be yeah, that would be fantastic. I'd be well for that. I wouldn't be fucked from coming back from gigs at the weekend where I'm straight in on Monday. I've had a couple of days just to chill. Yeah, give us a fucking Wednesday any other the week. and She was like, well, every other parent disagrees. And I was like, well, obviously they don't. She was like, well, yeah, I should know because my school voted for it to happen on Mondays after a half term and so did other schools in my area. And I'm like, well, you kind of just fucking extrapolate from I'll give you see if even you know, sampling that from five schools. That's not everybody. That's like first of all, extrapolation. It's not how it works, right? And second of all A vote does not mean all, a vote means majority. So even if it's like a ninety nine percent and oneon Like all parents for heaven's sake. giveive me a break O comments, a bit more hateful comments Well like Oh, it looks like I'm paying for your soft playay here. Why don't you think of us working parents The horrible claim being am one benefit U I and so fuck if you are, do you know what I mean? I I hate that rhetoric of you should vilify people who are who are onbenefits and all that. It's I mean, I don't even know if onbenefit is the appropriate expression because as I understand a them a lot of them claim u, you know, additional credits, but the work as well and, you know, people working full time jobs and they still have to do that. I'm sure they're not fucking thrilled about it as well But yeah, just this horrible like hate rate that just this low level hate rate of like, oh my my taxes are paying for your fucking freedom. I mean, he's wrong C't I can't see it to him Fucking By the way, I've got a job because then I'm validating the very basis or very premise of his argument when in actuality he's clearly just fucking P Rounda boat, you know So it's hard not to like engage with with some people like that. And then you've got the You know, I guess you've probably got the opposite level of that, but there's still a cunt but if there are cnt in the wr own category of them, why don't you try giving your kids some fresh air? Well, you look when you've done nine days of like, you know, two beaches, two national Tusts, two parks Th days in your back on I'll fucking take a couple of around the twists as well. I'll vary it up You know, again, I'm pretty sure I know which way you're voting as well, Pal So yeah, just just a lot of just a lot of twats really? like A crimeer river. why don't you feel free to teach if it's so easy? Well, I did teach for two years and it wasn't easy. so maybe you've got a point on that. But again, I'm not having to go at the teachers. This was very much a scheduuling observation of it. and yeah, and then you get the all he has a parent who doesn't want a parent U No, you know what? I took I took eight seconds out of the day to post it and you can tell it only took us eight hours because I made a typo at the end. I put the word two at the end and there was no reason for that to be there. Again, I was distracted because I was at the fucking soft play with me kids and I made it. So you can get fucked as well. So Well, you know what, you can all get fucked, but you sold us a few tickets. so thanks very much in the same breath And then there was this last one and he made a really good point actually, so But you know, again I'm out and about, I'm taking Lily to gymnastics, I'm at the soft play. I don't really have time to read all the comments so I'll read this guy's comment now. And or I can't remember if it was lighter or l us. They just say as a retired teacher, I can only support the comments from the people who really know what the job is like. never said, never said it wasn't hard. neverever said it wasn't hard. You stupid, stupid twat notot those who just quote a random observation. Well well yeah, okay, fine. Teachers who work very long hours do not dispute that whatsoever After the actual day in the classroom there's mking and prep Yep, I know all of that because I did all of that on the train on the way to gigs. this usually means working in the evenings and weekends. Yep, Dip did all of that crammed it all in on a Sunday. Each teacher will try to adapt it suits their own situation. Yep, I remember taking the the dongle on the on the train so that I could plan me lessons. So I'm going down to do, you know, try out spots in London and I'm doing marking and doing lesson plan on the train and all that Each teacher will try to adapt, yes, but the work has to be done. in my lot of days When my daughter was at Uni, I was often in school by seven thirty AM and left around six thirty PM so so I could have a relax and even. Usually I work at least one half day weekends and random I'm not been any of this. I know how long and how hard teachers have it I admit The workloads became heavier as I progressed through my career The expectations of nineteen seventies were nothing compared to the later years of the two N eleven now I do invigilation in the school and Even then we need to do training for inv vigilation And to go on and on and on Our contract with the students is exam very formal We have to do stuff on safegard, health and safety, fire safety. I'm not posting this for sympathy. I'm just trying to clarify the real world people in education And because I was at the soft play and I was looking after Lillian Eva I just said damn A you can fucking tell you retired if you've got time to write all that
