Cassis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 In theory the little spinning world symbol beside your name shows if you're online or not - but it does not work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 That would be very useful under the currently crepuscular conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Quite right Cassis, it was the same here last night and crepuscular conditions are due for the rest of the month.I am not alight but do feel a bit warm all the same...................

Dick Smith Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 No, but I used to get free chalk.Another thing - when I click on reply the dialogue box comes up, but so does a search facility, and when I type it goes into that - most disconcerting.

Will Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Did you eat the chalk, Dick?We had a geography teacher who used to consume at least three or four sticks per lesson. (Sorry, just got back from an old school association committee meeting, held in the staff room of my old school, and that brings back all sorts of memories).

Dick Smith Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 No, I gave some to the family, we were very poor...I used to like the non-dustless, you got a much better line on the board. My board was always dark green, and the most effective chalk was pink, then green. Now it's all digital. Certainly nothing to eat - what an odd thing to do, though I suppose it might counteract noxious school dinners or surreptitious drinking, two features of the 'old' profession.

Will Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 He (Mr Birks) was one of the more normal teachers I think. The fruitcake award went to Mr Bennett, our Latin teacher. He had very many eccentricities, the most repeatable of which was the fact that he kept his handerchief in his mouth. Which didn't help his verbal delivery very much. It wasn't until he died, well into his 90s a couple of years back, that we found out his real forename was Gordon (we always knew him as Fred). But in spite of all that he was a brilliant teacher.

Dick Smith Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Makes teaching in a burqa sound positively tame!We had a blind English teacher, a Latin teacher who had once bowled for Australia (or possibly in Australia) and preferred to talk about that, and Maxy, who used to tuck his jumper into his trousers and wear his tie outside of it. He used to sleep through most of the afternoon after imbibing a heavy (mild and bitter, allegedly) lunch. Not to mention Erection Evans - but I won't go there.

It hurt but by golly it looked good flying out the same window that a mate had just dived out of and in to the laurel bush [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Never does seem to last long, JJ. Maybe the OP would like to know who is online because it then gives you some idea who is likely to see your own posts there and then. E.g. if you are posting in response to a particular post.
