Teaching Maths In 2000 A logger sells a lorry load of timber for £1000. His cost of production is £800 and his profit is £200. Your assignment: Underline the number 200. 5. Teaching Maths In 2008 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is totally selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of £200. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers. If you are upset about the plight of the animals in question counselling will be available.) 6.

Carl_S Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 A good change for a better Britain. I believe that inter-racial sex and tighter border controls will leave us in a better position for national pride in 300 years time. Well here's me hoping about the sex bit. I think is it is as fair as the decision of one board of governers to get not use the word "school" and use "A place of learning" instead. Really sound, inventive thought that must be applauded.

Having read your posts for a few weeks now I find it hard to determine if generally you're: a) Taking the piss or being sarcastic b) On medication, or taking psychedelic drugs e) Being serious (a scary thought) You must be great fun at parties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hello Nick, I can hold my own at parties As for "great fun", I would not go that far. Looking at your exploration of my post, I can comment as follows to your points: a) I try not to take the piss or be sarcastic, even though sometimes every fibre of my being urges me to do so. b) I am not on medication or psychedelic drugs, or any other banned substances. e) I am often serious in what I say, and can back it up with argument, logical or otherwise. The truth of my posts probably hover between points a) and e) and some as yet undiscovered form of dyslexia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
