So you're basically just showing your cock off to the Spanish lasses right?

I have to say, I can't help but judge men in speedos. Just the sight of a middle aged man in one can ruin my day. I had to wear them when I competitively swam, but I would not wear them today. I feel sorry for the shameless fucks who put them on to go to the beach, look in the mirror before stepping out the door and say, "Ready for a treat, ladies?" As if lumpy smelly dogfood was a treat.

Do you stuff a courgette down them for extra impact in the manner of Derek Smalls?

So, the start of a school year has an element of the tabula rasa about it. Fresh start, clean slate etc. I like to think I'm organised, particularly in an electronic sense, and spent the first 2 weeks being hyper-vigilant about the state of my folders, desktop, Office 365 etc, making sure that everything has a folder and a place and that there are no useless files lurking about any where. A week later, and I'm already noticing clutter-creep in a digital sense. It's not helped by the fact that I'm a bit of a nomad in a physical sense, moving between two campuses and not having one permanent room for all my stuff.
I have managed to organise my various schedules of planning and marking - for example, I do 3 hours of planning on Saturday and Sunday between 6am and 9am, so that I'm not losing my weekend entirely. It does feel like I'm now on the Hamster wheel of basically getting through the week so that I can then plan appropriately at the weekend. When I have done a full year, I'll be in a better place as I will have taught the curriculum once, and will know what to plan for more accurately. So this year I'm focusing on just getting through it and am not trying to be perfect.
Luckily, my marking schedule isn't that bad as I only have 6 classes that I teach regularly; at least 5 others I only see once a fortnight, and I don't have the responsibility for it.
The rewards can be tangible; I already have two or three excellent Year 10 students who have shown formidable aptitude for Poetry analysis. I felt that this particular subject was going to be an Eiger to climb, but they've demonstrated as a whole more of an interest than I had expected. We are onto Browning's My Last Duchess this week, and I'm looking forward to teaching them it - they will see the title and think "oh god", but am quietly confident that they will understand and grasp it quickly.
