Passing the time

[Bunnylump]

Nor do I. I was "volunteered" to be interviewed for Teachers' TV. It was really nerve-wracking. I never did manage to find out when it was on the telly, although I was assured that it was!!

[Scurra]

Ah. That explains why Teachers TV is no longer being broadcast then.

(Which is a shame. I watched it from time to time, because there were some really interesting programmes on it. But clearly it had no "commercial" usefulness, so it has been scrapped. Ooops, went a bit political there, didn't I?)

[Bunnylump]

We had them in filming teachers being tested for stress levels! We also had film crews in for channel 4. We seem to spend a lot of our time being recorded in some way shape or form... Our head of media used to work in the tv business, so has lots of connections.

I never actually watched teachers' tv because it was always on at stupid times. I wish I had seen my interview. They were asking me about the role of the Higher Level Teaching Assistant. And I very bluntly said that basically we often do the same jobs as teachers, only for about quarter of the pay and with little or no support. I expect the "powers that be" didn't like it one bit. But I don't give a flying fig.

I've never heard of teachers TV

Still working my way steadily through those fascinating blocks-with-letters-on 3..... just my style of game with its combination of words and logic
Oops .... sorry Scurra, I know I should be test-solving, but it's all your own fault for posting up this link

Do let me know if you do level 16 - I am completely stuck there (and have gone back to the earlier two sets now I'm hooked again.

[Wulfruna]

Yes, I've now completed them all If you're still stuck I'll send a PM.

[clvrlad]

[LAT]

Finished it all now too thanks!

I like the missing vowels round, I can do them! But I also like the connecting wall except it is annoying when they don't hear me shouting out a set of four as it would be easier to work out other sets with fewer options left.

The missing vowels round is the one I find easiest too. What really winds me up though, is that they keep flicking the view of the connecting wall in a special effects graphics slide, back and forth to show the people and the wall from different angles. Show them in split screen, yes, but keep the darn thing steady so you can look at it properly!

[Bunnylump]

ABSOFLIPPINGLUTELY!! That drives me demented too!!! I don't like the missing vowels round (I think it's a bit tedious) even though (before you all start shouting at me) I KNOW I did do a missing vowels puzzle in Brush up Your Shakeandvac.

Here's a nice one that involves no skill whatsoever (or, rather, it's almost entirely unpredictable), but it's incredibly hypnotic. One click per screen is all you get, and then you sit back and watch the results.

There are times when I get seriously concerned about the mental health of some folks! This is one of them.

PS. I got a bronze medal, 221880 scored - how did you do

[giraffe]

Great fun

243180 bronze.

[MBH]

My Flash Plug-in crashed.... that must be worth a medal (????)

[Wulfruna]

Ok.... 226,300 - bronze
which I guess you're bound to get if you stick it through to the end

[LAT]

I'm not admitting to what I got. (I didn't get a medal )

[giraffe]

This is driving me nuts. http://www.bgames.com/funny-games/Escap ... Floor.html

Fairly typical escape game, but I don't seem able to find whatever I need. I keep thinking I'll give up and then don't want to admit defeat.

Ooo! I liked that one! Thanks Giraffe!
