Ah, has one been sent to you? Coolio.

We are up to four questions (about six I'd say since I'm gonna add a couple). Another four should do it.

Had a dream i was swimming in Ireland with EmmaLouiseSmyth. Think it's because yesterday I decided I might start swimming again when my wage comes through and also just before I went to sleep I had replied to her on here.

Wow. You should anonymously whistle blow if it's still the same!

That's really cool. I admire your dedication. I wish I had had some when I was at uni.

You'll find that those who do most of their supporting away from the pitch (and instead by bigging up their team to fans of other clubs) list how they are perceived by others as a primary worry. You're second in the league, you'll spend a shit load again and your other two rivals for the league are going through transition too. Cheer up.

Yeah, I'm gonna send them through to you when I get to about six or seven, and then I'll add a few myself. People can request for the questions to be anonymous if they want. I will keep you posted on how far along we are. Currently have two questions.

Sweet. Good luck whichever route you take.

Kind of happy Chelsea won cup: Chelsea fans have to be cheer Benitez and City see others win trophies.

Sweet. What are your other options outside of this online course?

I didn't know you'd moved out! Cool. Oh yeah, forgot about tuition fees here. Lame.

The Coldplays live there!

Come to England!

I wasn't expecting much at all, so I don't think that's the case. I don't see how people didn't get bored of get Lucky after the first three listens. I barely got through the first listen, such was the annoying and cheesey repetition. I like Pharell sometimes but him and Nile Rodgers haven't brought out the best in Daft Punk. The poppiness of the album makes me seriously doubt this will be a grower. It tends to be a case of catchiness (which isn't annoying) and getting it first time with these kind of endeavours.

Friendship groups are always interesting when they stretch out to about 5-8 people.

There were a lot of Irish people who came to do the teaching course in Lancaster when i was there. Not far from Manchester. Good gigs etc. They fitted in well. One girl was delighted as she had access to an abortion after she got pregnant during the Xmas holidays when she had been back home.

Does she mind? Sounds like every night out close to me. You killed her?

What's the project?

I hope you'll be taking part in the video response interviews...

I've not heard of that, what is it? The ones I've looked at are free online courses. Only relatively small things, take a month or so to do. Like a module really.

It was one of those times where most events seemed massively important, but weren't.

Get Lucky is the symptom of their new disease.

It was alright. Went there, had a drink, pictures were taken, conversations were had. Went there with a girlfriend who a week later dumped me for a thirty year old. Weird part of my life. She's a musician now. I prefer them understated. Can't be bothered with all the ridiculousness of the big events.

I was an intelligent kid and found some (but not all) quite easy. I was often top of the class at Primary School. Second year of High School I stopped trying and lost interest in a lot of the course material across all subjects. I still made it to uni after doing absolutely nothing for about six or seven years given I was a bright kid but I kind of lost faith in what was taught and the way it was taught. This wasn't really the teachers fault entirely, and I was to blame for my laziness of course, but then after going into teacher training I really fell out with the system in the United Kingdom. The rigorous testing of children and the pressures that come with this on things that won't particularly matter to the majority of children. The rigorous testing of teachers that shapes the way the course material is taught, moving it away from education as exploration and into simply learning and regurgitating facts. My main gripe, however, as has been alluded to in a previous post which mentioned politics, is that schools don't really teach about the real world as such. They do not teach a child about the society that they live in and perhaps more importantly, how to look after themselves in the society that they live in. Alternatives to the current system, positives of the current system, ways in which people can make positive influences individually and collectively, the political system and the process of voting, a history of where we have actually come from, the things that have shaped our culture and those around us, rather than simply learning about Henry VIII and not having that put into any real context. Improved sex education, feminism, gay rights, minority issues, the impact of the media, the internet, social media etc etc etc etc. A lot of that would be high school stuff (and it be stretched out over a long time) of course but still, there are plenty of people who get their opinions on these things solely from one source, and that source is often biased. I just don't think children are taught to question things. They simply accept facts and then repeat them. It'd be a slow process but a movement towards this kind of learning would benefit people a lot. It won't happen though, not least because it would be quite hard to manage with class sizes as they currently are. Plus it wouldn't be in the interest of those defining the syllabus to raise a generation of people who may question and challenge the status quo. (that was a rant and i didn't read it back so will be more a stream of consciousness than a concise point)
