I had the same trouble at my secondary school aged 11 in the first term first year, but not in the second and only once after that in the second year. My Maternal Grandfather had taught me what to do with a school playground bully larger than me, without words or fists. It worked each time, is extremely quick & painful to the recipient and they did not get up for a considerable time so leaving me free to walk away.
That is unanswerable as in real life what can be taught in order to have a productive outcome depends upon Three Basics plus a few others 1 The Trade, Craft or Skill / s 2. The Attitude of the student (Seriousness, Willingness to learn. absorb and to take notes) 3. Respect for the Instructor (assuming he or she is fully qualified to instruct and not just teach)
Drunken Or drugged up females shouting into their Fart phone in a shop like Yesterday. I was talking to a staff member inquiring about a purchase I needed. - She told us to shut up - The staff are not allowed to say anything - so I told her go away we are talking and she got aggressive & abusive - The staff hit the panic button, Security had heard what she said so she was detained and the polce arrived in 2 minutes and arrested her. I say GOOD
Gambling can be profitable BUT only if you are disciplined. I Knew a keen Controlled gambler we *nick-named Buzz* when he served with me in the RAF. In 1956. He was a De Havilland Apprentice Airframe fitter and used to bet on the dogs at the London tracks he was aged 22 & doing National Service and lived in Wembley. In those days all apprentices got deferment up to age 26 - The wage drop was a shock from their mans rate as it used to be 16 shillings a week to start rising to about £1.50 per week in the last year. - He told us he was left some money by an aunt in her will before he joined up and set up an Betting account with £99 as his deposit in a bank. - He applied a strict rule to only ever gamble with £33 at any time and top up the account with half his winnings above that. - He always had £30 spare plus the blood money (NS wages) - Wnen I was posted from the squadron in 1958 to the Fighter Command Band at Stanmore Park we used to meet up as its nor far from Wembley and he told me he had over £1000 at that time in the gambling account in confidence and we had all seen that he had bought a new Austin A35.-- He told me it was all done by cash from his winnings and I have no reason to doubt that as he told me the sum his Aunt left him - It was 3 times the cost of a 3 bed detached house.
A week ago I had a surprise visit from my first Girl friend when when were 12 - who is 2 days older than me. She is Welsh & speaks Welsh but I can't from (Cymbran) originally, and eventually moved to America with her Husband who, after he did his national service in the RAF (Medic) worked for Pfizer at Sandwich in the mid-late 60's and was offered big job in the states. They even paid all moving expenses & had their own homes for Key staff so he/ they accepted when the kids were young and kept their home here and rented it out via an agent. - After her husband died 2 years ago the 2 kids & grand kids are settled over there and she finally came back here. So being a 3 bed House with a large garden. it's now the family holiday home now. - She's retained her Welsh accent and the love (religion) of Rugby & singing - There;s lovely isn't it - and - As the 6 nations starts soon we will watch the matches together. There's even more lovely Cymru am Byth
@Miked12 cannot believe u met Dolly she is a legend and i assume hers is a Southern American accent.
@DeeDee
Hello Dee I worked with Dolly twice in a backing band when she did more than Country music. Off stage with musicians when she's not having to be "upFront" she speaks with a lovely quiet controlled Southern family drawl. I met a few more American women with a similar voice when I was working.
My favourite English ladies I have worked with though, were the late Diana Dors,- Susan Hampshire and my favourite - "Patsy" (Joanna gurkha Lumley) She is a lovely woman and so is Penelope Keith.
I wish I could put this up Live but this link typifies her as Patsy and being an Ex Army Girl she has a good squaddie vocab to can let rip with in one syllable when needs be.
There is only one American accent that I like. It is the Anglicised accanet which is less raucous and grating. Examples - Katherine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, James Stewart and Spencer Tracey all had it - IMO They sound Softer, more educated and Anglicised than the general screechy women we see on TV news and the men are not much better. - BUT Trump & Clinton's accents get right up my nose. On the other hand again JMO - Having twice met & worked with Dolly Parton when she was over here and I was active as a Pro musician, I have to say her's is sincere, Homely and she is a lovely lady.
Hello Very wise & Beautiful Krema I too would go along with that In my professions, after analysis it was called reaching & making tactful conclusion & decision. BUT since retirement when being talked down AT by anyone just out of nappies the patience disappears instantly and I seldom exercise it.
I agree with you Lovely Irish lady. I have never been intentionally abusive to any lady and apoligised if thought so. Even to whom I am unable to correspond
Nuclear weapons - There are two types of Nuclear bomb Atomic Bombs are based on Atomic Fission Hydrogen Bombs are based on Fusion and are called Thermo-Nuclear bombs
Science - Atomic bombs derive their explosive energy from splitting the atoms in Uranium or plutonium - The explosion takes place automatically. Hydrogen bombs -, also known as Thermo-nuclear bombs, depend upon the fusing together of Hydrogen atoms, such as those taking place in the sun, to release much vaster quantities of energy than an atomic bomb. The Fusing requires extremely high temperatures and Atomic bombs are generally used as a trigger for hydrogen bombs.
SO Every Atomic bomb is a Nuclear bomb, but every nuclear bomb is NOT an Atomic bomb.
FACTS 1. If you knew anything first hand about our election system OR for the position of Mayor of London you would know that the Mayoral election is carried out based on the votes cast in the London area that each candidate receives by the Majority of Votes received regardless of Party or Parties and Not by Colour, Race or Religion. 2. The majority who elected Tariq Khan were mostly Labour party voters hence forming the majority vote. 3. Neither Labour nor the Conservative Party whom, even being Part Jewish I hate with a vengeance, support ANY Far right extremism, from any source.
