This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

indeed
At the end of term my final year students asked me what they needed to learn for the exam. My answer? The curriculum. They told me this was unfair and that they needed to be told what would be on the exam. My answer? It sounded suspiciously like a muffled "fuck off".

Also, and this is rather a sore point with me and my work at the moment, why, when we are being encouraged to get mature students/students with children/low income or disadvantaged students into Higher Education, does my department seem to think that means we make exceptions. Why can't we provide more help, support and encouragement for them rather than excusing them from key pieces of work or awarding them extra marks?

Hey, why not just give everyone a degree? They pay, after all...
