And off to the fun-filled experience of A&E again in a sec....

(Junior has twatted himself headfirst into a cupboard while 'seeing if he could stand on one leg while getting his cars to go really fast' [no, I have no idea either] hence nicely split lip and a need for stitches)

I suggested a bit of tape and an icepack, but it's his school class photo tomorrow so apparently we need someone professional to stick him back together.

Any bets on the delay on a Sunday morning after they've swept the Stella'd-up detritus of Saturday night up?

Ta for the offer, I'd do it myself as there's not a lot you can do for teeth-through-lip as there's nowt to stitch really, glueing just dissolves in dribble, so a bit of tape and ice should do the trick....

However, I've waited 5 hours the last 2 times I dragged what was left of myself in, hopefully the triage nurse will tell the Mrs to bog off with some calpol and gaffa tape.

@ Swan - I'm a home owner, living abroad, with my own company and 2 kitties, at 24. You still feel old?

@ Mrs Bin - I teach EFL groups, so it's not entirely the same, but mine are from 8 - 16, plus adults. Luckily it's in an English academy, rather than afterschool classes in their own school. I did that last year and it was a nightmare.

I can do stickers for the kids, but teenagers are a pain.

@Swan - technically, neither the house nor company are mine. I pay the money towards it, but only the office space for the company has my name on it.

oh bugger
i graduated with spanish and portuguese and had a ridiculous time finding work :(
everything was in london and i didn't want to live there or commute.
i should have taken some translation and interpreting courses to boost my chances of a job, but i couldn't afford to do any more studying.
a PGCE would have allowed me to go into teaching at secondary school, but i was just sick of studying and just wanted to do something different.

so i ended up teaching ESOL to adults. i've been doing that for 5 or 6 years, but it's changed a lot and now i hate it.

so now i'm looking for something else. gah.

but as you're looking in london, you find something soon enough :)

"Sopranos" is good, I'll grant you, but "Prison Break" urinates all over it's miserable head! So does, "24", "Top Gear" and "House".

@clendrix

I'm not sure about "sexy blokes", but T-Bag is the man! Granted he's a child molesting, racist, sexist, untrustworthy, murdering rapist, but he's not all bad!

it's where I looked when I moved to London with no skills in admin, and I found somewhere really quickly. Good luck!

Kaol, it's not really stretching one intellectually, but who gives a shit about that? It's fun!

And Stig, can a man with that many qualifications really be all bad? I think not.

Lord, if I refer to any more people in one post, I'll be out-doing Spak!

( thealternativefact, Sun 28 Sep 2008, 21:43, Reply)

LVP
the one month CELTA courses are ok if you need a qualification quickly, but they don't really prepare you as well for teaching as the year long Trinity Cert TESOLs do. You get a lot more teaching practice with the longer courses and more time to assimilate the huge workload.
but it depends what you want to do. the CELTA is fine for EFL ( english for students who aren't immigrants here). i think if you're going to be working in london, it'll be easier for you to find full time EFL work and you'll gain teaching experience quickly.

whatever you do, don't work for the government unless you want a neverending barrage of pointless paperwork and a salary that averages out at minimum wage for the amount of work you're actually expected to put in ;)
