cicerone imposter wrote:When Walter and I were at the Metra Station, I asked the ticket clerk we wanted to go to Lake-Cook Road, so I bought the ticket without further adew. As we were getting on the train, I asked the conductor how many stops to "Lake-Cook Road," but he told us we'll arrive about 3:25. With that information, Walter and I got on the train. When it was almost 3:45, we knew something was wrong, so I told Walter we should get off the train, and we did - at Lake Forest. After trying to put some slots into the pay phone (about six times), and trying to dial JPB's cell phone, I was ready for a bar.
Well, when JPB arrived, we all had a good laugh, and she was very gracious after all this "sc....up."
Is it possible for me to be busted back to Enthusiast. I don't fancy this GIT stuff.
spendi,
I have been trying very hard to create the best possible training for you. Are you giving up already?
You quoted the top table wande. Is somebody trying to render me brain dead or what.
I wanna be an Enthusiast again.
Spendius--
Once your foot is on the Perilious Path of Infinite Wisdom and Sagacity there is no turning back.
Accept your destiny--otherwise a bony destiny will embrace you.
Just watch me Noddy. I'm off t't pub reet nah.
Spendius--
Destiny lurketh. Beware.
see in my view, that's what makes spendius a full guru
My favourite method of avoiding the Perilious Path of Infinite Wisdom and Sagacity, as Noddy called it, is to have a few hundred quid on a goal supremacy bet on a ladies football match.
When I have challened intellectuals who actually did think of themselves as being on the Perilious Path of Infinite Wisdom and Sagacity, if not quite on the landing stage, to try it, do you know what they all said?
"I'm not a betting man"- they said.
To which I obviously replied - "Well -you're not a flipping full-blown flipping intellectual in that flipping case".
And I have no "bony destiny ". Smoke is where I'm off to. I know where to land next time. I'm gonna get up a Duke's favourite chambermaid's nose, maybe into her knicker drawers, I haven't decided yet, one who has three useless sons and three hundred thousand acres of prime agricultural land and some good contacts, and work my way forwards.

I thought you were at pub?
Hi my name is Kris and I'm a Guru in training. It's been....... <sniff> many years and sometimes I just don't know when it will end, when I'll be able to move on. <blows nose>.
It is never too early to learn, tinygiraffe. You are in luck. Our Guest Lecturer today is littlek! Are you ready to give your seminar, littlek?
littlek wrote:er, no!
I am not at the planning stage yet. I've presented one small activity and maintained the routine while the teacher was out on friday. I just started my seminar and the first thing to do is plan all the meetings and then figure out what we'll be teaching during those times. I'll teach the curriculum that the teacher has already got for those days/weeks, with some items I designed myself. Beyond that, I'll need to come up with my own unit based on the classroom population. It's all a bit confusing still.
the true guru does not get cold feet...
It isn't exactly cold feet RP. It's the company at the annual dinner. I prefer the Enthusiast table. Or, if pushed into a corner, the Veteran one.

Hell - I thought you were rather suited!

Hadn't you talked so much in the past, you still would be an Enthusiast.
It's all your own fault, really.
