virginia.c Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 completely agree with you re Eels. I think though they are a one man band - I think it's just the weird and wonderful Mr E who does everything. A particular fave of mine is "Birds" - have you heard that one?

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Nobody wants to discuss anything else do they or there would be other threads. Actually I am rather enjoying being reminded of some old favourites and singing along too. What else is there to discuss? Sarkozy, boring, French politics, boring, the forum, boring, plumbers supplies, boring. No, this is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm sure that serious, intelligent discussion of relevant issues is not discouraged. It is just that some rough trade comes across from unmentionable places below the salt and makes trouble. Which is unfortunate. Perhaps they might learn one day to be model citizens and appreciate a site such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ehhhhh Chuck, so do I, so do I.But why Leo indeed,? Why not Scorpio or Margerine or Rooster or Ford Fairlane? Why do we choose our names? Good question. Who are we behind these names? Ourselves, our fantasies or just any old thing. Freudians will say we are our fancied selves and that the real us will be outed over time. So, why Leo.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well, several years ago it was a bit like the wild west at times when we did awful things like naming and shaming. I'm not sure that it was better then or now, certainly different. Perhaps there are more forums to choose from or perhaps many people have got bored. I think some people post just a few times to get what they want then disappear. Others, and perhaps I include myself, would like a bit more discussion of serious issues, but that necessarily gets edgy, so we have to go elsewhere. Bit like having a wife and a mistress really. As to provoking the modulators, never, never, not meee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 [quote user="FurryKnickers"]Some members like to provoke the modulators into banning them as they see it as a badge of honour! They brag about it to their peers like schoolkids in the playground! They must lead very sad and empty lives indeed! This forum is still the best in me own opinion, but it is a bit boring these days without Mrs Tresco and Twinkle and Meg and Mog and Her gorgeous dog and the huggable Chris Head, They were great characters and sadly missed, but I suppose some new blood is needed now! and us older lads need to saddle up our owl horses and ride off into the sunset! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irl5Nt6ENF4Sorry Frenchie, but this is better than John Lennon's original![kiss][/quote]Without a little spice in the diet it can get awfully bland at times.And remember that what you see of an iceberg is only a tiny part of the whole.

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Spelling mistake came from someone else's post above.Trouble with having a wife and a mistress is that either may kick you out at any moment. I used to think of this forum as both wife and mistress but now I have to spread my talents more widely to get satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Why did you ever teach the present continuous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Sweet 17, I taught EFL for 35 years, to the sound of gun and whip, in Libya, Iran, Kuwait, Belgium, Hong Kong, UK, France, Belgium etc., plus I have a PGCE in ELT and an MA in ELT. Whosoever told you that the present continuous is of any importance and worth teaching contiguous to the present simple should have had their brain seen to. It is only used 7% of the time whereas the present simple is well over 50%. It has not been taught that way, I hope since Janet and John or whatever it was called;. I won't go on as I feel guilty about not putting this in a pm.By the way, better teach the present continuous as a future, just to finish on a constructive note.

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Frenchie, that it is in the programme may be the only reason for teaching it in this way, contrasted to the present simple, but believe me, it only stores up trouble for later. But I accept that you are not responsible for the aged f a r t s who design the programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes Frenchie, it is mainly the very old, stuck in their ways, has been inspectors who do that. I have had to deal with them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana (ex tag) Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, the song gives a good example of a present continuous as do the old fone calls 'What are you doing now?', rather rendered useless by webcams but that can expand the context a bit."Hey Charlie, what's that guy in the back there doing? Oh, he's arranging th room for the next class" Imagine the contexts with a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
