And they are in the kids' holidays, we're contracted to three days more than the kids have to attend. Those are the training days.

You get my sympathy!

It's very odd, basically, the woman interviewing him tears him to pieces. Obviously she did none of this to his face, but just about anything that isn't a quote from Gervais in the article, is her snidely slagging him off. I just thought it was completely bizarre; I was reading it to hear about his projects past and present, not how much the person interviewing him obviously hates him and his work! Very weird.
Ha! I shall have to read it.

I don't know, hatred can be quite fun sometimes. Hence the enduring success of the Daily Mail. And Ricky's big and ugly enough to take it. In fact he told Wogan at the weekend he rather enjoyed it.
Proper hardworking teachers do tons of work outside of school hours, so they can have sympathy.
But lazy ones who don't do any can bugger off.

I'd do extra work if I had 12 weeks paid holiday a year.
