Floreat Etona! Jolly Boating Songs!

Well, I think that the tagline for my blog should change again. I have achieved gainful employment. In a surprising act of faith, Eton College have decided to offer me a position as physics master. From September I shall be a 'beak', wearing lovely pinstripe trousers, waistcoat, white tie and tails. I shall be taking charge of 'divs' (those are actually lessons, not the pupils!), 'schools' (so are those) and various games. They are very keen on games.

I am being sucked inexorably into the Establishment. The Establishment is pictured above, in all its black and white glory.

Of course, the best thing about it are the 4 months of holiday and inclusive accommodation. That, and access to their 2 swimming pools, several squash courts, 9-hole golf course and everything else. The pupils are also very eager, which is encouraging for a new teacher.
