OK person riding on electric unicycle brakes too hard and headbutts wall - while trying to stop before running over vertical sign advertising taxis???? I could never watch that show on telly - kept shouting at the telly 1
StevieM Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 [ATTACH=CONFIG]62061[/ATTACH] Say what you see... Either: half a car reversing into a lamppost; someone doing a handstand off a diving board; a weasel sitting on a toilet. 1
vikpaw Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 All too tame. The description I was given when first pointed out to me was way more sordid, particularly given it was in Saudi. By the way, those squiggles/wall/people/unicycles are all letters. أجرة <- Not sure if that will render for all.
6Foot2 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 It's a big school. However, if you were attending there you would "probaly" want to consider another school... 2
Protec Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 If it was anything like my last one, most corridors didn't have signs and there were about 6 computer suites. 3 was removed meaning the number for ALL of the ones above changed which just made it confusing.
6Foot2 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 If it was anything like my last one, most corridors didn't have signs and there were about 6 computer suites. 3 was removed meaning the number for ALL of the ones above changed which just made it confusing. My last place of work had no Room 13, various room numbers between 28 and 66 were missing (for some reason?) and room numbers were "organised" in an apparently semi-random fashion, while some rooms had names rather than numbers. It took me a while to get used to when I first arrived.
mikeprice Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 When - a long time ago - I was a teacher in secondary school, we were always reminded to keep an eye on the corridor for the first few weeks of September We often found lost Year 7's wandering and looking worried/scared/panicky/crying The main confusing factor was stairs - none of the feeder Primary school had multiple floors and - naturally - the oldest block (where I was) was numbered in a perfectly sensible manner - as long as you knew what ever room was called and where it was My room was called "Computer Room 1" - which gives very little in the way of clues The sign on the door said CR The Science labs were not much more helpful! New Staff had the same problem. In fact I had the same problem for the first few years as I normally just stayed in my room, the HODs room and the staff room!!! Oh - and some blocks also included large cupboards, toilets, and storage room in the numbering system - but didn't label them All in all the whole system couldn't have been better designed to confuse new people - whether kids or adults!
LeMarchand Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 I get confused at one of my schools. Most classes just have their name on the door, not the year or teacher's name; e.g. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw etc. I generally have to go to the office to ask which room my presence is required in.
mikeprice Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Whenever I have had a new member of staff starting in a school I always try to get a map for them ALl schools have them for Year 7s - but they never think to give them to new Staff When I have started in school I always have to go to reception myself and ask for one - which normally causes immediate confusion! and then a sudden realisation that it is not such a bad idea!! especially for an IT Tech who could be called to any and every room.
Protec Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 "pride flag" best room number design is where it has coloured corridors such as BL and 1,2,3 for the floor level followed by room number. Then you get something like BL1.23 which makes sense 1
LeMarchand Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 No pic, but the electrician's van I saw this morning had a slogan of "shockingly good at what we do" (amazingly, not "watt we do"). Yep, nice pun, but when you think about it would you want to hire an electrician whose work will shock you?
