2:34 am
TQ
Every day you hear problems with the m25 it seems as if there are far more crimes too but whether thats just because we hear more about it now I don't know
2:36 am
Lizlin
I think it's the same everywhere.

Hi Ruby. I am about in the middle.
6:38 am
Trifioso
silly story to share - I have a friend who teaches in Avon, a nearby town. They are too small to have a successful football program at their school, and so is the next town over, Holbrook, so they are thinking of combining their two teams to make one bigger team. Guess how long it took the students to figure out that if you combine the two town names, you can name the new town the "A-Hols?"
6:38 am
JBV
hi bichon and Jayk - the last two qu's are not followed by a vowel - qu + 3 consonants

ruby I've been watching Engrenages on netflix - love it! really gritty and dark but I love listening to the French
6:43 am
JBV
so superior to what passes for prime time tv here
6:43 am
Kallia
that's funny Trif. Reminds me of when my SILbuilt a treehouseforhis boys andtheircousin,Connor, Dominic and Alistair...alistair came up with a brilliant name for it...Condomali....
6:43 am
rubyfoo
I'll look for it. For the moment, my Netflix isn't working on the laptop
6:44 am

Hello Kalia

it was on french tv - canal plus
6:44 am

Hello Ruby
6:45 am
rubyfoo
I'm sure it's on my satellit but i am too lazy about watching French-language TV;
6:46 am
rubyfoo
I miss being a teacher (and working, in general)
6:46 am
JBV
did you ever see the film Entre les Murs - it's about a French teacher in a high school
6:46 am
JBV
you might like it
6:47 am
Trifioso
I have written that down!!!
6:47 am
rubyfoo
I'll look for it but the name-changes can be very confusing, e.g. Trainwreck was listed as Crazy Amy
6:48 am
JBV
Trif, you might like it - I found it a little disturbing - many differences between French and US high schools come to light
6:48 am
Trifioso
the g is eluding me...count please?
6:48 am
JBV
in English it was "The Class"
6:48 am
JBV
but the kids are the same everywhere
6:49 am
Trifioso
thanks jbv - on the hutn
6:49 am
rubyfoo
At this point, I Watch a lot of dopey movies and series, too many real-world problems. I even like Parks and Recreation which always makes me laugh. They run it 4 at a time without commercials or a laugh track
6:50 am
JBV
ruby do you know about the website imdb - if you enter a film name you'll see the original in whatever language
6:50 am
rubyfoo
I'm probably losing IQ points every week!
6:50 am
JBV
sometimes mindless tv is a needed break from reality
6:50 am
rubyfoo
Yes, my son told me about imdb and it can be very helpful
6:51 am
rubyfoo
Last night I saw The Last Man on Earth, 4 épisodes. Annoying actors, but sufficiently escpiest to suit my dour mood
6:51 am
JBV
so if you enter "entre les murs" I think "the class" will pop up http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1068646/?r\nef_=fn_al_tt_1
