What did you lecture in?

Pornography……………🤣

……..sadly, the truth is far less exciting. Worked in the geography department and taught a few things including mapping science and waste management.…….many strings to this old bow! 😜

Not really, just my observations based on 12 years service with Military Survey, another 12 years lecturing at a university and God knows how many years listening to my friends tales of woe about their whinging kids. 🤣🤣🤣

Yer n not forgetting the war generations head shaking complaints about “the youth of today” and “what did we fight a war for?” whilst looking at the younger generation. Or did the 60’s n  70’s not happen?!

I just read this online and then realised that I'd read it before.  I find it utterly fascinating but without a conclusion, I doubt if there will be any real conclusion unless the guy dies 😔

It wouldn't reveal anything but things would come to a conclusion for him I suspect. I imagine that life is pretty hellish for him now but that's just my take on it.

2013 so his terms would have been up long ago, if he survived it I imagine he’s a hermit again, maybe this time a hermit with a house (his mums likely shuffled off by now), one that spends the warmer weather in the forest, well that’s what I hope🤞

Don’t think he’s the sort to give us an update though 😆

Great article.

A bit of light reading for you then.

It's only an individual manuscript and while it wasn't included in the cannon of scripture it has some informative content that found its way into the Textus Receptus from which many bibles are translated from.

Currently reading “l’enfant de Noé” ( the child of Noah” ) which tells the story of Joseph, handed over by his parents to complete strangers willing to harbour him as his parents fled the Nazi persecution of the jews in France, and his struggle to survive, trying to find his parents after the war.

So just something to lighten your mood then
