And how Headmaster J can possibly worry about astrology when his entire class are smoking behind the toilets while chanting eye eye, ai ai, aye aye, ey aye addio or whatever, defeats me...
Where's Deputy Head Migeru when he's needed to restore order.... "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
The kind of person who says we can speculate about anything, but when one speculates about their motives in trying to blame the Cuban government, gets upset.
The kind of person who thinks it's "inspiring" to inform us that they have perfect pitch - hard work to achieve some difficult goal is inspiring, not a natural talent.
The kind of person who thinks it is cute to go on about astrology in the hope of annoying others and getting censored so they can seem to be a victim. But Jerome was too kind - I don't find it amusing, it's just rather sad.
By the way Chris, YOU might see the open thread as a welcome opportunity to "lighten up" and I'm sure you were making an effort to lighten up the atmosphere with your comments. That's fine and clearly many others feel like you, but some of us also enjoy serious discussion and don't appreciate time-wasters like mmmm (see this thread) - and I hope Jerome and Migeru will continue to be critical of people like that.
Oh, and I'm sorry that you feel your diaries don't get the attention they deserve - a lot of us feel like that :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
