I thought I would create a thread relating to School and University/College. It's not so much about exams or tests, but about school life in general.

First of all, I'll just tell you. I'm in Secondary School, and I must say, although I've never been seriously bullied (occasionally teased), I think a lot of the learning co-ordinator's/heads of year don't tackle bullying enough, despite a NO BULLYING policy. I've never blamed people for taking stuff into their own hands, because they don't receive any help.

Also, one problem I occasionally face in day to day school life; is teachers. Fair enough I'm considered a bright young man, but my teachers often see me as an opinionated, sackless idiot. The problem is, going back to learning co-ordinator's, if you stand up to a teacher whose having a go at you, they don't care about the way they verbally abused you, they punish you for standing up to them.

Anybody think similar on the way schools these days work?

it's on saturday 17th may at 10

Taken a few years back minus the HELP bumper. Presumably moved on by now.
I saw it myself around this time when working up that way - but stumbled across the photo by accident just now.

Alx 300 in Inverness last year.

We've discussed Nexus imposed fines for non compliance over and over. I do now have a whole bunch of information though, so it probably justifies it's own thread. All information below is in rich text format.

Day 1 of exams today... Do reckon I am going to be morbidly obese by the time the exams finish due to the amount of sugary foods I'm eating to combat the stress!

Upside of today is that, at 15:00, I've no requirement to speak French again!

I couldn't find a thread relating to 'Gillinghams', so I thought I'd make one. My english teacher's dad is a long serving employee there, and drives everything from scholars contracts to long distance coach journeys. Any information or suggestions relating to Gillingham's goes beneath here.

Lee Wardle has posted the following on the Tyne and Wear Bus Enthusiasts Facebook group.

Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancs are holding at Open Day on Saturday May 24th between 10:00 & 16:00 at Carlisle (Willowholme). Amongst the Stagecoach buses I have managed to arrange are ex First Volvo Royale 16235 from Gilmoss, Volvo B6 30339 from Kilmarnock will be making it's debut after restoration back to Stripes, Ribble branded Dennis Trident 18156 from Chorley as well as buses from Busways, Glasgow (Megabus), Manchester and Wrexham (Bluebird ex First). There will also be buses from our other depots at Kendal, Lillyhall and Morecambe. Preserved buses will also be in attendance and the majority of them will be used on the free shuttle service.

If anybody needs more details or would like a copy of the proposed timetable to plan which buses you want to ride, Lee has asked that people contact him directly.

Slowly feeling better after Eye Surgery on Tuesday, just sick of my Eye Watering and having to persevere with putting Eye Drops in every 2 Hours, other than that I am feeling good.
