Holy Shit
My class were absolute fuckers today.
The day ended with one getting another in a headlock on the floor FFS.

So, how were your days?

how did you resolve that one?
or did you just leave them to it and lock the door?

Afraid to say
I had a great day, actually - for the first time in ages.

Wrote a model on Friday which I didn't know if would work outside of the experimental environment. Ran it out today and, after a few stumbles, it was able to pick up new data and produce a verifiable and predictable output.

Yay!

You could teach the class coutners to headlocks
If the headlocker and headlockee are facing the same way and the headlock involves a hand going under the chin, the headlockee should anticipate when the headlck is going on, and when it's about to go on, they should grab the headlocking arm with both arms, and throw the headlocker over the side of theirr body. If it's too late, doing things like kicking the back of their knee or pinching their inner thigh will loosen their grip and then they can be thrown.

If they're facing opposite ways and the headlock involves the head going under the armpit, the headlockee should attempt to reach round the back of the headlocker's neck, grabbing them and falling over backwards. Hopefully, the headlocker should be thrown onto the ground and with luck, the headlockee will end up sitting on top of them.

Other types of headlock can be countered by stamping on the headlocker's feet or elbowing them in the stomach and then throwing them once they've loosened their grip.

I've had to endure
people asking what happened to my face all day.

Cue dramatic music and montage...

"My name is Davros' Granddad. I had an accident and woke up on the pavement. Am I mad, in a coma, or merely pissed? Whatever it is, I feel like I've busted me nose. Now, if I can work out where I am, maybe I can get to a hospital".

4 classes today
first years (about 12 years old) 3 classes (same lesson 3 times) no problems, good fun. Fourth years (15 - 16 years old) not quite so well, 2 of the boys were talking in class.

I love teaching in this country!
