*falls into multilingual mode* Evenin', ya'll. Konban wa, minna-san. Guten auben, mein freund. Bonsoir, mon amis. Hola, mi amigos.

*manages to get out of multilingual mode* So, did I miss anything important while I was at church?

Is that one of your compulsions, Georgi?

I know, I'm slipping I played today for the first time in quite a few weeks - kind of had other priorities

And what other priorities might that be?

Interesting choice of courses - I'd love to hear more about it when you have started

@Dark Angel: An English private school? My condolances

@you Brits: Why are private schools called Public schools in the UK?

I think you can probably guess

Although it's not really relevant anymore

Interesting choice of courses - I'd love to hear more about it when you have started

Sure thing

Actually the historiography course was only my second choice, I wanted to do the history and literature course but I didn't get on it

@Dark Angel: An English private school? My condolances

@you Brits: Why are private schools called Public schools in the UK?

Ummmm, that's a difficult one. Because private schools and public schools are both umm, private schools... and the rest are state schools...

I'm not sure about the difference between our public and private schools, but public schools are the immensely posh ones like Eton etc

@DA I hope you're at private school, not public school... the people I know who went to public school have never quite recovered...

They are rather adept at towel-whipping...

Hey Harry!! How's stuff?

@Georgi: Sorry to hear your distraction from ToB is not relevant any longer

But at least, you have time to finish it now

I always wanted to study literature...but I never got the time, maybe when I retire some day

Re Public and private schools: The English people I know who have been to those really posh Public schools, seems not to have recovered from the towel whipping

Oranges in the mouth etc...

True, although certain distractions are more fun

I always wanted to study literature...but I never got the time, maybe when I retire some day

I studied English Lit at school... And one of the texts in the history and lit course is Henry V, which I studied at school... so I was pretty keen to do it...

Yeah, public schoolboys take quite a lot of corrupting...

Did I say that out loud?
