Yeah, me and EED are in the same place. First day down. Good fun. What are you doing in January?

I'm in a school for mentally handicaped children and teenagers. Couldn't get a place in december.Do I know EED.

RonMexico

Has anyone here read The God Delusion? I bought that and The Greatest Show on Earth last week, haven't had a chance to get into them yet.

Those educate together schools look interesting.

I wonder could we get Richard Dawkins to give an oul chat in Mary I.

They really are great schools, we need a lot more. Also a Richard Dawkins talk would be epic!

RonMexico

It would be great if Mary I could invite people to give talks. Imagine Dawkins and Stephen Fry having a chat down in the lounge over a cuppa. Or better still down in Fenners

My guest list would be as follows:

Richard Dawkins
Christopher Hitchens
Stephen Fry
Natalie Portman
Clint Eastwood
Dave Chappelle
Mike Tyson
Pat Mustard (He'd love Mary I)

That's a pretty good list. Steven Fry is a legend alright. Add Dara O'Briain, Steven Segal and Woody Harelson to that list and I'll be happy!

Pfft, who needs Dara O'Briain, we got David O'Doherty for Freshers' Week 2 years ago

Were you at the talk Fast Mover?! You craftry person, who are you?!

...and what talk would this be then?!! More shite produced from Mary I eh?:)

D4RK ONION

You confuse me thoroughly Fast Mover. I love Photoshop, it's so much fun... Making a band logo at the moment.

EDIT: Finished it, what do ye think?

We got Tommy Tiernan. He compared the nuns in Mary I to Darth Vader. Always trying to turn you to the dark side.

D4RK ONION

Wait, what's the dark side?

Very impressive Onion. Would you be interested in doing a bit of work for WTL. I could give you your own page on the site if you wanted to play around with stuff. I could even give you access codes so you could upload your own stuff as you pleased.

Giving that man any more power is dangerous!
But it would be interesting to see if he could add his unique touch to WTL for the better

D4RK ONION

Hmmm, let me get back to you on that one lighthouse, appreciate the offer either way.

AEE is turning out to be a lot more worthwhile than I ever could have imagined, I'm really enjoying it now.

could i strongly reccomend you not to use this term ..say ever again?

and yeah AEE is pretty fun i've gotta say!! however strange it is not to have any work to do or to not be actually teaching!!

D4RK ONION

It is a dangerous American term lighthouse, let's not dwell on it! Did you try the tulla road bypass home EED? Did you make it :P

earleuginedoyle

i did, and i'm home in one piece!!
i'm not sure how much shorter it is though.... think i'll stick with the old way in! makes it feel faster, i enter ennis sooner.... i know i know....

Yeah I've read them both RonMexico, both brilliant reads, ye should also check out God is not Great, by Christopher Hitchens, fantastic read.

However, I wouldn't be so sure that the powers that be in Mary I would be too keen on 'Dicky' giving a chat in Mary I, given the Catholic ethos etc. that they promote. There was even a talk given at the graduation this year hinting that Mary I should become the official Catholic College of Ireland:eek:

How bad is it that the first thing of I though when I read that, was about 3 dirty replies? I'm going to say very bad

Hmmmm. Me thinks this is another example of political correctness gone too far. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater comes to mind.:(

Oooooor it could be to do with your complete disregard of every single Special Needs Education lecture we had last year...

have you been to/listened to even ONE SEN lecture?!?
you are going to be teaching children, i suggest you get your 'political correctness' in order pronto, apart from my personal anger at reading what you just wrote, having that attitude will get you nowhere in this job

Plus the fact that I don't like being told what to do especially from someone that I don't know. Might I suggest that you take some long deep breaths to help you deal with your anger.

Cop onto yourself, she's right and you know it, and your refusal to address her point is doing nothing to put yourself in a better light. Your use of antiquated, obsolete terminology not only reflects badly on you as a potential educator, but also suggests an arrogance that is not attractive on a personal level.
