Unless her Teddy Bear is struck by lightning and becomes incarnate ... but even then that would 'be reasonable grounds for concern' rather than actual 'fear'
I gave it up years ago ... I was teaching in tech college (trade school)
1) One Monday I was 'spoken to' and informed that I was not allowed to exert discipline by putting a disruptive asshat out of the class !
" Why not " says I
"Well, if he tells his employer he was put out ie denied an education, then his employer will not send him here next term and we lose a fee?" says the head of dept
"Really" says I
"Yes Really ..."
"Gotcha " say I
"Good " sez he "I knew you'd understand
"Yes of course ... it's just that IF I'M not allowed reasonable tools to maintain classroom discipline THEN YOU can expect 27 letters of complaint because I;m going back after lunch and telling the rest of the class to tell their employers that they are all being denied an education because you won't allow me to deal with one disruptive asshat"
HoD turned a peculiar colour, made gasping choking noises, staggered back to his office and wasn't seen for the rest of the week!
2) Spoken to again after failing an entire evening class group, bar one, for presenting woefully inadequate work related to a professional management body exam ... " What you've failed to grasp Hex is that the essence of your job is NOT to be critical of the work those people present but rather your place is to justify how the work they produce meets the course requirements ..." sez my mate the HoD "I'd struggle with justifying how less than 1,000 words can possibly even begin to justify the requirements of a paer that demands 5000 min to 5500 max" sez me with a pained expression (already knowing what was coming as I'd been tipped off before going in to see him! "Oh, well, perhaps you could praise the student for his excellent command of the subject, his precise language and his economy of words..." sez HoD looking as proud as Punch. " I see ..." and he interrupted me " Yes, I knew you would Hex ... is there anything else we need to discuss here ?" HoD "Two things if I may ... the first is that as a Fellow of the Institute I'm not going to be responsible for conspiring with you, or in any other way contribute to a decline of the professional standing of the Institute and second, you can have my resignation ... I've had a bellyful of you n your cr*p... "
Not sure if any of the 'authentic' national lotteries can be played from outside of their own boundaries Ali.
I guess it would discourage locals if they were to see money flowing overseas, and people's 'home country' govts would object to the outflow of cash on gambling overseas ?
And, thinking aloud, there might also be cultural / religious issues - some countries do not allow gambling at all?
NZ$1,47 per litre ... which looks cheap until you realise diesel road vehicle owners also pay RUC (Road User Charges) for each Km driven
Not more than 3.5 tonnes 62 More than 3.5 tonnes and not more than 6 tonnes 68 More than 6 tonnes and not more than 9 tonnes 138 Any RUC weight more than 9 tonnes 291
Given that increasing weight (up to 44 tonnes) produces an exponential increase in both damage to roads and severity of accidents it's easy to see that the Road Transport Industry holds a lot of power !
