Looks like respectful chips when compared to American fries.

During a long meeting, most had no idea about how to engage students of all ages in the world.

In the time it took to roll my eyes I knew what to show them:

The weather was shite which meant a deserted park. Just me and the dog. Perfect!

Then a glorious walk without the need to engage in ritualistic executions to get there.

I’ve heard the same thing about hookah, I just like to smoke hookah and that’s why I’m also trying to smoke less often now ))

Well, we do have countless hookah recipes and many companies make Shisha variants of their concentrates.

Note: You have reminded me to revisit a Shisha Umbongo recipe.

Hearing about the latest exploits about my little monster from her teachers.

It is always fun to remind them of the basics of teaching.

Frankly, I don’t get why they try to claim loads of bollocks when both of her parents are teachers. It is a mighty challenge to pull the wool over the eyes of ones with decades of teaching experience, and the same in developmental psychology.

They say bollocks to experience. It’s one of the least valued assets people have.
You are probably considered old school and know nothing about the latest textbooks and methods they are using today.

A friend of mine, who used to be a maths teacher, had some questions at his daughters school after they changed the way they taught mathematics.
It didn’t make any sense to him so he asked them to explain the logic behind it.

They couldn’t! They are teaching something they do not understand themselves.
Now they are asking themselves why their students seem to get dumber every year.
It’s the same wherever you look.

I like my joint. Personally I’m not too worried about all these health issues. Maybe there’s an advantage to dying with clean lungs :woman_shrugging:
I try to be as healthy as I can, but not at the expense of enjoying my life.

Since I’ve just finished some delicious lamb, I think it’s time for some coffee and a joint.

Once again, who are ‘they’?

3 Likes

That they, in this case.
In most cases they is anybody who isn’t me.

Or did you mean who are they to think they, there you have it again, can tell you what to do?
You are confusing me now :grin:

My apologies for raising definitions of fixed points while you engaging in a relaxing self-medication.

Don’t worry about it. I find problem solving extremely relaxing, as long as it doesn’t involve any running around.

Sounds a tad like me. When I read law, many wanted to call me Sherlock and I had to state that Mycroft is more of a majestic moniker.

I was listening to a scripted review and found a pronunciation that got through - as many channels never check. There is a distinction between ‘tit-lar’ and ‘tit-ul-ar’ when trying to say titular. We all have different accents but not spotting a missing syllable is you odd.

Not any odder than spotting a you where it doesn’t belong.

The vagaries of fast typing.

Digging into the alleged Twain and Doyle “Flee! All has been discovered.” message.

It’ll definitely be a fun Easter weekend hunt.

Well 1/2 a chip anyway.

Well, all is 50/50.

The restaurant is a fancy fast food restaurant. When the parents owned it it was nothing more than a walk up window serving hot dogs, beef sandwich’s and deep fried potatoes. When the parents retired the kids turned it into a walk up counter and large indoor eating area. Today they have franchises across the US.
The history of the sandwich in the photo goes back to the Chicago stockyards in the neighborhood where the Italian emigration settled in Chicago. The sandwich was invented because they could only afford the cheapest cuts of beef. It a bottom round. A tough cut. To make it edible it’s sliced paper thin. When the money wasn’t there to buy beef they fed their family’s Italian bread soaked in the watery gravy simply called gravy bread.
