Isn’t it quiet? ?

Hi Shinamae
I’m going to nip over to Mumsnet to see what they are talking about, see if I can get any ideas

There’s a lovely MN thread about things to look forward to in Autumn. Which I’ve enjoyed reading, even though I’m hoping for a bit more proper summer first. (And preferably very soon, since dd and family are camping on the south coast.)

That's worth a thread, Lucca

So - nightclubs are open but no face to face lectures for university students!

JaneJudge

Btw he passed with very good marks, thankfully

well done!

So - nightclubs are open but no face to face lectures for university students! Maybe they could do the lectures in nightclubs? Or put lights, beery carpets in lecture halls?

My husband's old university is doing face to face seminars and tutorials which are more important to be honest.
Loads of students don't even go to the lectures in the first place so now they'll all have them online and can catch up if they were just in bed or can re-watch them if they are particularly diligent.

When he was teaching the lecture theatres booked by time-tabling weren't actually big enough for the whole cohort in the first place and although he was one of the "better attended" lecturers he often had half-empty halls.

I think some lectures will be open to students if they want to be there as time goes by.
It's being billed as a big issue but I honestly don't think it will be when the new academic year actually starts up.

I was going to start a thread about nightclubs

But that is the best idea yet, a lecturer/DJ rapping away on a podium about quantum physics!

My husband reads stuff about quantum physics and gets excited by that sort of thing. To me the very words bore me to death. Horses for courses.

IMO it’s all important. Lectures as well and I cannot conceive of any reason to not start in October.

are you Nigel Farage?

Rosycheeks good heavens! You sound like an excellent asset for the ‘right team’!

No im not Nigel Farage! That made me laugh.

Rosy remember when Farage used to be on LBC? And Katie Hopkins?
Oddly enough, I quite enjoyed listening to both of them

Oh yea. No pussy footing about with them not that im a fan at all but they did make me laugh. I dont mind BJs sister though.

Rachel Johnson isn’t a bad presenter at all.
I do agree that the weekend presenters aren’t up to much.
Andrew Whatsit (the ex tennis player) is dreadful, and David Lammy, although a decent enough chap, just has an awful presenting style and shouts far too much.
I really admire Majid Nawaz, but he’s a bit intense and shouty too.
They need to have more easy going presenters at the weekend.
Love Nick Abbot though!

Nick Abbot is good. Yes I agree they need easy going presenters at the weekend.

Is it Andrew Castle? He was always a bit wet years ago.

Yes, that’s him, he’s permanently in moaning mode now. He is like the Daily Mail personified (mind you, I quite like the DM).
He’s not the brightest either, never well informed.
