A thread for nothing

I've noticed that in this country, if an older man (40+) is losing his hair and doesn't shave his head, he's probably a Tory.

Not foolproof but I've noticed it.

Look at the MPs next time you see PMQs or whatever.

Guessing the Tories don't want to look like the great unwashed or hooligans by having shaved heads.

Michael Fabricant - Tory
Mick Lynch - Not a Tory

Haha, that's not a bad observation lol    And I support the hypothesis that you're more likely to see a comb-over in a right wing MP than a left wing MP. (Arthur Scargill has a great receding haircut, but he was a different era.)

And Mindy you've been posting some nice messages recently. "There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path". I'm starting a part time job next week teaching English to high school students in France, and there's going to be a huge difference between what I learned in training vs. delivering the classes. A bit like rally driving where I proved to be a trusty co-pilot, but now I'm being told to drive the car!

Yes, some of Quantum's quotes are very good. I liked this one:-

^ Haha! I was going to post a photo of Eno to prove you wrong, then realised that a photo of Eno would prove you right :

Good luck with the teaching job, Saulaac. I hope your classes will be small and decently behaved: that makes the difference between Heaven and Hell imo. Let me know if you have any questions that you imagine I could help you with, ok?

Thanks lads! Give it a go next time you watch the news. Doesn't have to be an MP either.  For example I've just seen Lord Lloyd Webber talking about the farmers. Should shave his head.

The baldometer is rarely wrong.

Thanks Lisna, appreciated!    I hope I can deal with it and if I can't then you'll be hearing about it in the next couple of weeks on here.

Class sizes are about 25 to 30 students, so I should be fine (he said). The 18 yr olds are studying lit. such as Pride & Prejudice, but the younger ones are still coming to terms with basic English such as conjunctions, vocab and irregular verbs. So that is my challenge. How to motivate them to fall in love with basic English grammar so that they can express themselves in an easy going way. I'd love to introduce them to some MB or SCD banter but it is probably a tad too soon for that.
Lesson preparation is key apparently, and the other teachers said they would help me with that.

I seem to remember you're teaching university students in Mexico? Keep going with that! We'll make it rocky, and funky!

Need to catch up on this beef between Lloyd Webber and farmers. Lloyd Webber is probably a theathrical sort. Farmers somewhat less. Baldometer engaged    .

Sorry I might have worded it wrong, he's not beefing them he's defending them, he was at the protest. He has 5,000 acres of farms, but he wasn't there for himself, apparently.

- Tory donor
- Needs to shave his head
