be or not to be???<span style="color:#6633ff;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">I heard on tv that somewhere in England they(the powers to be) are considering making English a non compulsory subject in schools..</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">I admit reading Shakespear in school didn't seem to have any relavince to the career i was considering...BUT...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">But the way kids speak these days English is,I think very important...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">For example the words they use incorrectly like actual instead of actually and ive even heard one kid say runded instead of ran...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">So take english out of school now and we will end up with a whole new language which only this generation understand...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">And as far as getting employment is concerned speaking English well is a must especially if the job is in hospitality etc where you must speak to people all day...</span></strong></span>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095843920548657202noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687385690862823686.post-85088074335649883872008-06-06T15:01:00.003+09:302008-06-06T15:22:35.420+09:30A

today..</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">I don't know what the wheather is like around the rest of the country but here in Adelaide it is all sunshine.....</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">And just 4 a change my lovely wife(Mandy)and my good self left two of the kids home and went out...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">Ahhhhhh!!!!..Bliss....</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">But reality soo sets in when you return home to two brawling kids....</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000099;">But as someone once said "LIFE WASN'T MEANT TO BE EASY"...but i say

little frightened...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">This story begins in a hotel not far from where i live...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">This story started on a thursday in the pokie room of my local pub...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Occasionally i enjoy a small flutter on the pokies so one thursday afternoon i went to to my local pub to run a few dollars through the pokie machines...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Well i'd been there for about 2 hrs when i noticed the place was starting to fill with a bus load of elderly ladies,"THE BLUE RINSE SET"...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">They came into the pub all smiles and loaded up with thier shinny $1 coins...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">i'd been watching a few high rollers betting large amounts of money and not even flinching when loseing big and thought to myself they were the toughest and biggest gamblers in the room....</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Boy was i in for a shock...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">After putting in the last of my what seemedly measly $50 i walked over to my mate and began to watch him lose his dough..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Unaware to me almost every machine had been filled up by this bus load of elderly ladies even the row of machines next to my friend were taken...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Watching my friends machine was starting to bore me so i took a side ways glance at a couple of women on the machines next to us...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">"BIG MISTAKE"..All of a sudden these two elderly women with thier snow white hair with a blue rinse through it stood up and just went bezerk..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">"What the hell do you think your doing,stop watching our machines,your bringing us bad luck"so get the"bleep" away from us...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Yep these seemedly quiet little ol ladies were attacking me with arms flying all over the place and blurting words that would even make a sailor blush..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">It seemed that because they weren't winning it somehow was my fault...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Well i was stunned to say the least..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">I looked to my friend for some back up but he thought he would play too by saying " he's not with me ladies"..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Well the verbal abuse was getting louder as these women got closer to me..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">I actually started to get worried that they were going to give me a thrashing with thier handbags..lol..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">I began to look for the nearest exit as i planned my escape..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Needless to say i made a very prompt exit with my tail between my legs and a badly bruised ego...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Yep a rather young,strong man had been chased out of my local pokie room..</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">I to this day i have never returned to that pokie room on a pension thursday in fear of the "TRUE QUEENS OF THE POKIES" making a total whimp of me again...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">So i warn you "BEWARE OF THE TRUE QUEENS OF THE POKIES",those lovely blue rinse set!!!!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"></span>
