You must tell us what it was!!!

A recording gadget, MWL

I expect that it said Croeso i Gymru instead. Most of the roads into Wales have this sign.

Thats not happening to you is it?

who?

I would rather not post about it like this on the forum.

I respect that.

Thank you.

Lots and lots of hugs Soph - you'll get through it.

Thank you.

Isn't it cold again today? Glad I got my thicker coat out...

i am free from school for ever! no more uniforms! no more calculus! no more homoclinal ridges or mid-latitude cyclones!

Enjoy!!

sounds good Benson - celebrate ?


How 's it going Soph ???

Well... I have made a decision anyway

Not feeling to well at the moment, and still getting my head around it all.

How are you?

Yes - new situations take a while to sink in - don't be hard on yourself.

I'm not too well either - streaming cold (again ) : )

and a horrid cold sore which moves around but doesn't go away.

Hope you feel better soon

Well it will be another whole new situation soon as well

Hope you feel better soon Maggie.

Thank you Soph and Miss Ross

: )

Is there any good reason why elephants are the only animals that have four knees? If there are more please do tell. (More animals rather than more knees on the average elephant!)

I suppose transposing intervals is *marginally* less mind-numbing than transposing clefs

What do I want to do at Uni! I have no idea, well I do..I know what I want to do but it's not actually what I want to do..if I am true to myself it's something else...I think

"people are living longer, and the rate they are living longer is quite alarming...."

please explain this statement someone.
One side of A4 will be enough.

Sounds like either an urban myth or some obscure fact which has been repeatedly misinterpreted to me. I can't say anything helpful though.

What do people think - should I wear my black trousers or skirt for my concert with Orchestra tomorrow?

rather pointless I know, but isn't that what this thread is for from time to time?

Skirt, I'd say, if you're fond of your legs - if not then don't add extra stress - wear the trousers.

Must be annoying if you don't like your legs. You'd have to either amputate them or take two things which annoy you around wherever you went. I'm glad I like my legs. I call them both Jeremy.

The shoes I wore today made f*rting noises when I walked...

Just ordinary flat ones!! Some of my students gave me some very funny looks this evening. I had to explain it was my shoes. I kept getting the "yeah, right" look!!

They've gone in the charity shop bag!! Somebody else can suffer the embarassment of wearing them

Can you not oil them or something?
I hope they weren't nice ones!

I don't know...

They were just a flat pair for work. I might fish them out the bag again and have another try..

Thanks for this idea Skylark. The clock that I ordered arrived on the weekend. It is great fun. My brother will love it - his wife will hate me!

I suppose you could save them for the days when you've eaten spicy food the night before - that would distract attention away from the shoes if that's what you're trying to do ...

No ?

there's a thought!!

**When I worked in residential care, we always blamed the patients!!! Now I blame my shoes!**

Gah, if I were at HOME I could be doing something useful like writing notes for my OU essay, or making some music, or playing with the cat.

Instead I am stuck here at work doing nothing and I'm so bored. I spoke to my manager this morning and he knows I have done all the work I have, but I have training tomorrow and then I have a coupe of days where I can be doing 'mock' work based on the training, so it's not really worth me starting anything today. At least, that's the impression I got when I told him I had nothing to do and he said 'oh, well, you can familiarise yourself with the slides you are presenting next week' and something similarly woolly.

Why can't I just go home and Do Something Useful? I've even resorted to writing things in my annual review document even though it's a week until I need that to be ready...
At least I'm only here for another 1.5 hours...

At least you're not yet reduced to working out exactly how many seconds you still have to sit there.....

Or working out the after-tax money you're earning for every second you're sitting there.....

(I used to do that when I was stuck in an office with nothing to do....)

My random thought for today?

Does anyone believe in coincidences? No? Well, that's amazing...neither do I!

...or counting the slats in your venetian blind..I have 67...

nice one KJ!

coffee, cake and saxophone.... what more can one ask for?

unless it's red wine.. etc

Chocolate of course

I have a program that does the first one for me...
And the second I only tend to do when I'm working weekends; on the very very very rare chance I get to work on a Sunday, I take a couple of minutes each hour in which to do some maths and go mwuha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I've sat here reading two of the eBooks I am using as references in my essay, making notes in a Word document and hoping that nobody notices that daily life here in the office has very little to do with the Aztec economy or the infrastructure of the Roman empire...

One day when I was giving blood, the person on the bed next to me got chatting, and it turned out he was a teacher in my old secondary school. We were obviously both staring at the ceiling in the blood donation hall, and I mentioned the ceiling in the school hall. It was tiles, and each tile had dots on it (presumably holes). The challenge was to work out how many holes there were on a tile (it was just a bit too far away to be confident of counting it right - even though it was a square and so you only needed to count one row - was it 15? 20? Any number in between? And is it really square - are we sure it's not 17x18 holes? etc). Then work out the number of tiles in the hall, and thus the number of holes across the whole room.
Exams were held in the hall, so it was a 'finished exam but can't leave' activity.
Anyway, having mentioned this activity to the teacher, he said that invigilating was really boring and you'd probably find most of the teachers were performing the same challenge

A program's cheating, Maizie. And it doesn't use up the time like the actual calculation does (especially if you do it by adding up rather than multiplying....)

I'm going to have to file the nail of my little finger down to nothing because it keeps catching on the wrong key

Isn't "N" a negative letter?
No, negative, never, nose-hair, nonsense, nepotism, notoriety, November... It's just quite sad.

not necessarily. what about "d": death, doornail, doom, dodo, drip, dig, defenceless, dread, drunk, doofus, duh, danger, doctor, dentist, disease...
and "n" can have good words too: nice... or is that the only one?

My name begins with N

Novelty? Normal? Nicean Creed?

What is the most positive letter in the English language then? L is quite good... love, luscious, listen, lark, lush etc.
