Ah, my good friend Prof G,
In your oppinion, would it be too soon to suggest a follow-up seminar on the effects of telephone calls to mother, friends, daughter, daughter in law, etc, and relaying the conversation acroos the lounge, word for word, while husband, boyfriend, lover, lodger, swinging mate, (either or all of the afore mentioned) are sitting watching the football, golf, table tennis, horse racing, tiddly-winks etc?
I would imagine this would be a lively discussion/shouting match, and my only concernwould be that unless the doors were kept locked for the half hour or so, ther could be a mass exit, with stamping feet, of those ladies who cannot possibly see any reason for males to be interested in such pastimes, when their inain news of what whoever bought when at the supermarket that afternoon seems to be the mostimportant news in world affairs of that day.
Your grateful guidance would be appreciated
Keith
How about some courses in how it isn't cheaper to talk to your friend for 30 minutes, landline to vodafone, because your credit has run out on your mobile ?
Or about how NOT to click yes to every applet that rolls up.
Excellent stuff, Professor G.
If your timetable permits, I'd like to host a guest lecture, entitled Supermarket Checkouts: The Quick Way.
We shall discuss why hearing the words "That's , please" is NOT the best time to realise you have to pay for your goods, search the contents of your handbag for your purse, count your money, realise you've only got £20, discuss with the checkout person that you forgot that you paid the vet earlier that morning and that's where your money's gone, attempt to pay with a library card and finally write a cheque.
All excellent suggestions gentlemen . Of course one can only include a finite amount in one hijacked thread , but I would be most happy to see my colleagues above start their own courses or workshops and would of course support them fully .
Perhaps a collaboration between the experts here to write a small paper on the theory as follows.
" Cant help thinkin this thread wouldnt have slipped off the board so quickly if we'd left it just knocking men "
Discuss.
Dr G phdfc and much love and at the bar
Surely a course that is open to men only is discrminatory and therefore illegal. In any event those are all advanced courses some of us have still to do the intermediate courses.
