Christ, don’t pass the soap to dwyer; he may use it to slip back in before his latest ban is over.;) :D

*What a car crash he can be, very sad for a professor to act like that, I feel sorry for his students!*
:(

Big-up for Mrs M, sometimes things need to be said. :)
 
A mate of mine, well kind of a mate I haven't seen him much lately, but then no-one has really, or at least no-one I know has, anyway this kind of mate, one time we gatecrashed an art history party and it was well cool; people still talked about the next day and everything, anyway he was a philosophy graduate.

Well this philosophy graduate started work in the Civil Service in the very lowest grade filing, photocopying, and so forth, but before long he had moved to London on promotion twice and he managed me for a bit on the lobster desk; that's when I met him see, soon through great dedication and commitment and application of intellect he was promoted again, and then again, and then yet again! Fast up through the ranks, many a pint was quaffed, I taking the piss out of his rapid ascendency and he quoting Spinola. Didn't do him any harm as he bounded his way into the senior echelons' although he eventually had a nervous breakdown and locked himself in his flat for six months losing his job in the process. However, I'm sure that's nothing to do with his degree.

Anyway, you can't get jobs at the bottom of the rung anymore in the Civil Service.

But he was the only person I know who, when accosted by a prostitute, would attempt to engage her in a debate about the meaninglessness of money.

I think we all need to *worry about* phil - he's clearly in need of help. :(

Yes, but when you say we need to *worry about* phil, do you mean we need to *worry* about him, or worry *about* him?

And does telling him to *fuck off* count as helping him?

I think we should be told. :p
 
I think we are actually being a little unfair here!

After all; the self confessed, and obsessed troll is currently banned, and so can’t reply.:(

Plus, we have derailed the thread!:(

Hang-on a minutes, WTF am I talking about, he regularly derails threads!:rolleyes:

Plus he’s only been banned for 24 hours, so he will be back to comment.

Oh, I so look forward to it! :D

I once engaged a prostitute in discussion on 'Freud's psychological theories of humour,' as I phrased it (after about ten attempts). We were both under arrest at the time; she for prostitution, me for drunkenness. (I was 17).

I do not tell my students about this. But it does make me laugh when they assume that all teachers must have been perfectly behaved when they were their ages. :D
