    Share your stories of shitty professors/teachers

    I'm a teacher and I have some of those. I've only been teaching for a year and some of thee stories you wouldn't believe. Parental excuses for things are the worst thing I come across, these totally stupid and pointless reasons why Billy couldn't do the simplest homework. Or why Freddy had to be...

    Eddie Izzard

    See the running thing he did for Children in Need/ Comic Relief/ Sports Relief, it is really good and certainly worth looking at. Not so much comedy just following Eddie as he runs the length of the UK.

    Classic movies you can't fething stand

    I can't sit through The Godfather, i've tried a few times. Never managed to get to the end of Clockwork Orange either... The Star Wars movies aren't that great either, really couldn't see the appeal of them or why people gush about them so much. There are many more but I don't want this...

    Music artist you love that others may be unfamiliar with.

    The Fall of Science! http://www.myspace.com/thefallofscience Great little known band out of East Anglia, currently they only have one of their songs on myspace/facebook for your enjoyment. However you can find their ep on itunes. Give them a listen

    Getting into Discworld

    The Guards arc is by far my favourite. If you are only dipping in Jingo and The Fifth Elephant are certainly worth a read. If I was you I would stop reading The Night Watch and get hold of Guards Guards, start from the beginning.

    Your name has now been changed to your username

    That is exactley what it stands for, twas a username from nearly ten years ago which I kept using due to it's originality. However as I headed toward teaching as a career I started to play around with it. Lots of people allready shortened it to IEC so adding an extra bit was easy after that.

    Your name has now been changed to your username

    I'm not sure, my teaching career may end prematurely, but only if the meaning of the IEC part came out. Otherwise I think it would be okay...

    Poll: Which Prime Minister does the UK prefer?

    At least we got to vote for Cameron to come into power. Gordan Brown was put into an awful position but I personally had issues with him because the job was just given to him. The people had no say about Brown becoming the Prime Minister which is why IMO people voted away from Labour. I...

    How many sexual partners have you had?

    If we want to get technical OP could be saying he has only had sex between 15 and 20 times, if each situation wasa one night stand. I've only had one sexual partner but the amount of sex we have had in the ten years we have been together would probably make the OP feel really inadequate...

    Poll: are you a "secret" gamer or "public" gamer?

    I would say i'm both, at work and in a professional setting then it is not something that I openly discuss. Not to say I actively keep the fact that I game secret it just isn't something I discuss in that setting. However with friends and outside of a professional setting i'm very open about...

    Your current book...

    Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's been a long hard read but finally the end is in sight, having said that i'm really enjoying it and would certainly recommend it.

    Bioshock and Objectivism

    I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged and I agree with your statements. While there are elements of objectivism in the game it certainly is not a condensed version of AS. In fact there are very few similarities between the two.
