Intellectual betterment.

[Tadpole]

Well. Bugger me, I though it was a documentary, sheeeessshhhh, you learn some stuff on here don't you?

Well I for one would not recommend someone watch Star Trek as a way of gaining insight into the study of chroniton and tachyon particles. (go on.... you know you want to )

.....She conveys a picture of the english people as stunted in everyday life because of social conventions and conformist seeking attitudes
......

we are stunted by social convention and conformist seeking attitudes, it's kind of our "thing", i think that most of us like it that way to be honest

I think this documentary video clip (it's only short a, a couple of minutes) explains very well where this thread went wrong.

It also explains a lot about how we English work, as do the related clips alongside it in the list. Especially the self-defence one!

I can almost guarantee that most of the conversations at the Moot will be in some way weather related, lighting a fire in the rain, lighting a fire in the wind, lighting a fire in the sun!

Nah, you're wrong. I reckon only one third will be weather related, a third will be about the merits of hammocks over tents and the other third will be about folks bowel movements.

What about metal sporks and Ti mugs, they be talked about more than the weather

Back to 'The Code', its good stuff and an enjoyable watch.

Here is a good book for EmmaD and other mathmatical savants

http://www.amazon.com/Mental-Prodigies-Fred-Barlow/dp/0837120926 My step grand father, by all accounts an interesting man himself, was a ghost hunter for years...never saw anything he could not explain though.

Pah. This thread has only confirmed my suspicions that intellectual betterment may be all well and good, but chasing and catching snakes is still much more fun and you get to go to places and meet folks that don't wear shabby brown tweed jackets with elbow patches and brown cords. Some of the people that come back with Emm, honestly!!! Good thing is, a work related affair is slim to nil. Although, not many women do my job, so I have even less chance.

If you've only got 2 eggs you can only do 2 tests.

No - you can only do two *unsuccesful* tests, in which an egg breaks. You can do as many "non egg breaking" tests as you like.

In my case, I wouldn't do any tests. I'd just throw the eggs at whomever it was that thought I should waste my time testing how high you can drop eggs from without breaking them (in a vacuum). That way I win twice - I don't waste my time, and I get to have a little fun.

Oi!!! I resemble that remark!!!

I never said wellies, they don't wear wellies!!! Plus you have to lack any ability to communicate with anyone unless discussing numbers or students. With Emma, we call it 'The Zone'. Some of her colleagues however, are permanently within 'The Zone' and cannot come out.

Ah, my mistake, I was being a bit "precious"...

Please accept my sincerest apologies.

I'm better than all of you lot any way, why is any of this even in discussion? each post should end with "but of course Southey is better than me in every way,FACT!"

Then we wouldn't have any issues with uppity yokels.

I disagree. If I remember correctly, I had genius in my title first, then you copied me before deleting it. It is true we are both Gods amongst men, but I do my reviews in the cupboard. You use the bog!

And last time there were still floaters in there.

 

[shaggystu]

Hahaha yay!

pleasure to be of service, i'm not above blowing another mans trumpet
