(18 Oct 2014, 10:25 pm)Marcus Basically, here's what I've got;

We have 25 hours a week, and we get....

4 Hours of English (Mandatory)
4 Hours of Maths (Mandatory)
6 Hours of Science (Mandatory)
1 Hour of R.E. (Mandatory)
2 Hours of ????? (Language)
2 Hours of ????? (Humanity)
2 Hours of ?????
2 Hours of ?????
2 Hours of ?????

I have two career paths that I'm currently seriously considering - one is a Humanities Teacher (History, Geography, R.E. etc), which would require mostly the humanities.

The other is some sort of Manager for GNE, which I would need a Business Management degree or something, so Business & Economics, and possibly Media.

So, with a language totally unrelated, and 4 others to pick for, I would say History and Geography, then Business & Economics and Media.

I'm really stumped....


We have to do this:
4 X 50 mins of Maths - Mandatory
4 X 50 mins of English - Mandatory
6 X 50 mins of Science - Mandatory
1 X 50 mins of Ethics - Mandatory
2 X 50 mins of PE - Mandatory
1 X 50 mins of ICT - Mandatory
1 X 50 mins of PSHE - Mandatory

Then I have to do, 1 Language (3 X 50 mins not sure what one?) 1 Humanity (3 X 50 mins Geography) and two of my choice (no idea) of that either. I get three lessons of each.

Which languages do you do? I get Spanish & French, we WERE going to get German this year - but for some reason they bailed....I've got no idea, like!

I mean, Germany is the superpower of Europe. No offence, but what is French going to do for me?! When I asked one of the languages teachers, I mean, I seriously asked her why we weren't getting German and why French got priority - and she said it was because the Queen could speak French, before laughing!

I honestly wish we got German, but personally I'm really enjoying Spanish at the minute - and in my school it's the most popular language at GCSE.

I got French in Year 7/Year 8, but we get German now. Only Sets 1 and 2 get to take German, as you have to have a 5A to take it at GSCE. 
I might take German as its easier, and will be more useful to me. 

Spanish is always something I've wanted to learn, but sadly they don't teach it in our school.

Here is what i get:

3 hours of Spanish
3 hours of Maths
4 hours of English
4 hours of Science
1 hour of core PE (not GCSE or BTEC)
2 hours of History
3 hours of BTEC Business
3 hours of Graphics
2 hours of RE

The number of hours also equates to the number of lessons per week of each subject. However, once per week, we miss a lesson due to PSHE - it rotates so one week it may be lesson 5 of one day then the next week it will be 1st of the next then 2nd etc.

When I have had a few drinks, I always end up walking home by following bus routes. Last night I didn't have enough money for a taxi so I walked home from Sunderland to Whitburn via the E6 route haha. Just happens I guess.

Love it!

If the route involves a turning circle, do you do that too?
What about bus stops?

Buses. Every single one of them this morning.

To the driver of the 23... You were due to leave at 0837, stop having your mother's meeting with the 24 driver.

There's 4-way controlled traffic lights/roadworks at Deckham, causing delays for all buses travelling through. After uni today, I got the 16:05 X1 (it left Eldon Square 11 mins late) and we got stuck in the roadworks for 8 minutes.

There was a report by GNE earlier saying it took 20 minutes from (to my memory) Gateshead Interchange to the first set of traffic lights on Old Durham Road... Crazy!

Nowt worse! I had one the other week on the 21. Pulled in to Chester le Street bang on time early in the morning, and then took his float and cleared off for 5 mins. Then he had to horse it all the way to Durham in an attempt to catch that time up.

Nothing compared to what you used to get mind. I recall being left on the X85 once as it passed through Washington Village, so the driver could go into the off-licence for a couple of cans. Also had a driver on the old 183 spark up a tab en-route, which goes to show how long the route was! Smile

Still happens...

Some of the Stagecoach in Sunderland drivers who are close friends of my family have smoked for many, many years... Whenever they get stressed, they need a tab, and they don't care where they are.

Usually means that they put their foot down for a good five mins or so before getting out of the bus to spark it up.

I know one was telling me a few weeks back he was 10 mins late on the 19, but he'd had a rough round trip so had to get out of the bus on Premier Road and have a quick'un.

I got the Scarlet Band 16A home once and the driver went the chippy in Mowden, mind the 16A timetable has a lot of time to get to Newton Aycliffe pretty much back on-time once we got to Cockerton.

I need help with my Flickr.

Basically, I've realised I used a different e-mail for my Yahoo account, and it's actually the one my mam made for my puppy (yeah, you read that right......), and my sister knew the name and password but has since forgotten it.

I cannot access my account, and when I keep trying different things, I lose at least 2 points of IQ with frustration!
