RE: Where is ms right!!

Well I'm impressed that you used 'MS'.

RE: Which TV commercial does the person above remind you of?

I know that one!

RE: Which TV commercial does the person above remind you of?

There used to be an ongoing advertisement in the UK, not sure if it still runs, about Marmite, you either love it or hate it because it is so distinctive in flavour.

That reminds me of you Cristina. I love Marmite BTW! devil

RE: How much money do you spend when MEETING for the first time?

It's a beautiful country with lovely people just like anywhere else in the world. Lots of things which are wrong, corruption being the biggest evil, but huge countries like Russia..... and the USA devil suffer problems unimaginable to us little Europeans.

RE: How much money do you spend when MEETING for the first time?

Hi there you!

Yes, it was a nice date but there was no romantic click for me. a shame because he is a genuinely nice man. Just thought I'd mention that to demonstrate that there is so much more to finding 'the one'!

RE: How much money do you spend when MEETING for the first time?

I think he wants a British passport[/quote

Cristina how cynical you are!

This man incidentally has no wish to leave Russia whatsoever. He loves his country and was very proud to tell me about the history and show me around.

Not all men have an ulterior motive.

RE: How much money do you spend when MEETING for the first time?

I would never expect a man to pay for everything on a first or subsequent date.

I had a date quite recently (not CS or dating site related) and he arranged to pick me up and take me on a sightseeing tour just outside Moscow. I was delighted to discover that he had brought me flowers, and had packed a little picnic.

How sweet is that! Much nicer and more thoughtful than being taken to any expensive restaurant.

RE: Texas school district to let teachers carry guns......

That is a ridiculous statement and doesn't address my post whatsoever.

I give up on this, you have a mindset that is not willing or able to accept or acknowledge any other opinion but your own.

RE: Texas school district to let teachers carry guns......

There is a huge difference.

Teachers are teachers, simply that. Police, security guards, are employed to do their job of protecting citizens in dangerous situations.

Can't you see that?

RE: Texas school district to let teachers carry guns......

How true Trish. Even if I were teaching in the worse school in the USA or the UK, or anywhere for that matter, for violence, I would not carry a gun. I teach, that is my job, I don't, as you so rightly point out, bear the responsibility for shooting anybody who violates my classroom and threatens my students.

What kind of image would that leave in the mind of a student? My teacher shot down somebody. How could I ever go back to that same group of students and talk about the futility of violence.

RE: Texas school district to let teachers carry guns......

thumbs up It's so simple isn't it!

It's very sad for me as a teacher that even these measures have to be taken, but in the world we live in, particularly in the USA, which does seem to have the worse record for violence using firearms in schools.....why is that by the way? it is by far the most sensible solution.

I can't believe what I read here sometimes.

Well I'm actually thinking about what I read over on the Int forum.

Guns for teachers! AND people in agreement.

I despair at times.

RE: Texas school district to let teachers carry guns......

Very real lady here. I'm a teacher and have taught all over the world, latterly in Russia where I am at the moment.

I wouldn't want to touch a gun let alone carry one in amongst my homework papers.

Dreamland is when you think that a teacher with a gun can stop the violence in schools.

RE: Not New To CS But NEW To EU Forums

Hi morgan and welcome!

Is the move to Malta work related?

You have a competitor....

.....gilly, come back all is forgiven. Eurogigolo is a contender for your throne.

Can somebody enlighten me please?

The most recent site blocked for me here was a Russian journalist organisation. I can't remember the name but I'm searching again.

As for the US, I know that a poll made by CNN regarding the justification of the Russian rebuttal in Georgia was removed after Russian sympathisers flooded it with comments, so although sites may not be blocked in the USA, they may well be 'edited' or 'modified'.

RE: Which do you prefer?

Heart. blushing (English teacher)

RE: Which do you prefer?

Spanish...... something. Can't quite put my finger on it but there's definitely something about Spain and the people I adore.

That's why I chose to make Spain my home. I came here a few years ago, went home to the UK, returned and decided that this is where my hert belongs.

Can somebody enlighten me please?

Since being in Russia I've noticed that a few internet sites have been blocked. Only a few, or at least it seems that way, and they are sites that probably aren't of much interest to most people.

I'm not talking about the blocking of US sites that occurred in Georgia for a short time recently.

Does this happen in the Western world?

RE: WEBSLINGER IS BACK....

Hey Smoky welcome back!

And still firing on all cylinders I see! wink

RE: Read The Profile!!!!

This is an ongoing complaint, you're not the only one.

My profile states not looking yet I continue to get messages, most of which are from kids younger than my son or daughter. Today I had three different ones from 'boys' all of whom were younger than 25!


dunno

RE: Two America's

True! There are many misconceptions here about Russia, or the people, as I've learnt since working here.

RE: Two America's

Russian news is focussing on two jets being shot down by Georgian forces and that more than 10 Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia have been killed and more wounded.

I have to say that the enlightened Russian people here are sceptical of anything on the news though.

RE: Two America's

Oh that's bad. No PR person is going to be able to put a shine on that.

RE: Talkin' To We Se'f !!

Aye, dead as a doornail. laugh

Come back, the life and soul of the party has gone.

RE: Two America's

Sorry I'm in Russia, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Enlighten me please, what has he done or said?

RE: Randomly Post The First Thing That Pops Into Your Head Thread

Compliment indeed from Sir Indy.

Are we opposites? Maybe politically, I don't know, but we've never argued so that's a good sign.

You're a bit mean with the 'kudos' though. laugh

RE: Randomly Post The First Thing That Pops Into Your Head Thread

hug I never thought otherwise.

It is a nice pic though Indy.

RE: Randomly Post The First Thing That Pops Into Your Head Thread

That's cos you know I'm polite! laugh
