I have to prepare a 15 minute presentation on what I've actually been doing for the last 3 months in my project on Tuesday. Channelling would be appreciated.

Good luck on your presentation. Remember to visualise everyone naked. (In the audience, I mean!)

I'll leave that if you don't mind- all three of our lecturers are male and over fifty.
I've finished the powerpoint presentation- just writing a spiel to go with it. There is NO way I'm going to be done in 15 minutes, so I'll go at it full pelt and hope for the best. I shall return to channelling for Phil's dad as soon as this is out of the way!

Good point, we don't want to pulling faces of disgust throughout.
Well it's been handbags at work today. We're in a block of industrial units and next door to a cafe. The company on the other side of us has been complaining to the council about blocked drains. As it happens the council reported back that the drains were blocked with chip fat. So the company next to us has been complaining to the cafe about the chip fat. But the thing is the cafe is denying that it's their chip fat. And so, we're stuck in the middle.
Sure, we used vegetable-based inks to print with (kinder to the environment compared to oil-based) but we dispose of excess properly and not down the sink, so we cannot be to blame for any chip fat found in the drains.

Talking Transformers with a workmate, and we're talking about Chris McFeely. He challenged me to find a picture of him online...and it's impossible!

I can't get on at work! Argh! I would hope not. I had to cut a big chunk of interesting but not exactly relevant material from the start of my presentation, and just squeezed it in under 15 minutes. It wasn't easy and I was talking like the guy out of the Micro Machines ads half the time, but I made it. Seemed to go down quite well. I was annoyed at myself when it came time to identifying my sample, though. It's called 7-hydroxymatairesinol. I have no difficulty pronouncing this. I say it quite frequently in relation to my project. So today I stood up in front of my class and lecturers and said "the compound I am analysing for is called 7-hajafojaweejablargle." Sigh. -Nick |

In my experience everyone doing a presentation thinks that they are talking like Chip'n'Dale. I know I always do when I have to speak in front of folk. I always blame that on the fact that the warmth from the spotlights somehow triggers a phase transition in the brain - it turns from grey thinking matter to blacmange Karl |

I'm in a bit of a bad way and have been for a while. The problem is that I'm not getting enough hours in my counselling placement that will allow me to meet the 100 hours min requirement for the course (and upon which several essays hang on too). So I need to find an additional placement on top of that one to give me a chance. You would be surprised to find out how difficult it is to get places to take you on as a student. So the year has only just started and already simple arithmetic tells me the year is already completely fucked unless things turn up soon. Or I will have taken a year out out of work with nowt to show employers.
It's the last thing I think about at night and the first thing I think about in the morning. I thought I had left this kind of stress behind me. Apparently not.

Damn I'm sorry to hear that it's not going well for you at the moment Ralph. I shall resume channeling for you (and anyone else currently requiring it).

I shall warm up the ChannelDrive for you, Ralph!
I had my eye test this morning... I have an astigmatism (and thus very poor eyesight) in my right eye, so I now need glasses. All this time my left eye has been working harder to compensate, which explains the headaches. So yeah, glasses. This'll be a new experience for me as I've never had to wear them before.
Oh, and the other thing is that my eyesight has been so poor that I shouldn't be driving! I won't be allowed behind the wheel again until I've got my glasses.

Are contact lenses an option G? I've had mine in for ages now, and they're quite possibly the greatest things I've ever bought.

Channelling now underway for Ralph.
Graham, you've got me thinking now that I should possibly have an eyetest in the near future - it has been a few years since I have had one and all my immediate family need glasses to one degree of another.
Not good news that you are going to need glasses, but I'm glad that it isn't anything more serious.

Karl, get 'em checked. It was 45 mins for me and £20, but obviously worth it.
I have been warned off contact lenses already as, depending on your eyes, they can starve them of oxygen and cause problems later down the line.
Besides, I cannot stand to have anything near my eyes. A very long time ago an ex of mine had a habit of licking my eyeballs during more intimate moments, which I couldn't stand!

I am aware that as I age I am going to need glasses and am in a bit of denial about it. However, it may be time for me to do something about finding out if I need a pair of Mr Bennett specs yet.

It's the last thing I think about at night and the first thing I think about in the morning. I thought I had left this kind of stress behind me. Apparently not. Damn it! It doesn't sound right. If you're on a course and prepared to work, they shouldn't put barriers like that in your way. So, do they have many students who take the course, pass their exams/essays and don't get a certificate simply because there were no placements to be had? There must be some safety net, surely! I had an eye test a couple of years back. Didn't need glasses, but the optician helpfully explained why I can't catch very well. Had an operation to correct a squint when I was a couple of years old, and ever since I rely on one eye to see - one eye for close up, other eye for further away. He demonstrated it by having me block something with my thumb and closing one eye and seeing if it shifted position. (Depended on the distance and which eye I closed.) Very illuminating. Therefore, poor depth perception. Never mind! Martin |

I have a similar problem with depth perception Martin. My brain ignores the signals from one eye as it's vision is so poor. It does mean having something of a weak area when playing badminton though thankfully none of my playing partners have cottoned on yet!

Dad's brain scan didn't show any signs of a stroke. Looks more like another Urine Infection. However he had a fall today and they were so concerned about him - not responding - they called Mum to come up. He's recovered a little but isn't with it at all. Doctors are at a loss to explain what they're seeing.
