flucking hylarious

REALLY REALLY FUNNY!

Thanks so much Boo!

I love the last bit:

Principle: Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Kid 1: I love you

Kid 2: I like your tie

Now that's funny. I can now understand why he wanted to join the mod team !!!!!

That is good.

Is it a fly on the wall type thing or is it staged?

"The page cannot be displayed"

This doesn't really amuse me, but everyone has different humor.

teenagers! My nephew has hit the teenage stage and he argues every little point, just like these guys. I swear he is going to grow up to be a lawyer.

^ or a teacher.

I always thought they became lawyers because they never grew up.

good one

When I mentioned the lawyer theory he just looked at me with that scornful look only teenagers can muster

He wants to be a particle physicist when he grows up. That probably explains why I don't understand this kid at all

There's a good chance he'd make a healthier quid as a lawyer... perhaps you should ask him whether he prefers peanut butter sandwiches or restaurant meals for lunch?

My nephew is a wine merchant. which is quite handy...

Ah well, money doesn't motivate everyone Ping. I was raised to value education for the sake of education and to go with what I enjoyed. My oldest sister (not the mother of this nephew) is a research scientist whose work on solar mirror concentrators has earned her several patents as well as a great deal of respect within her field, makes quite enough money to be happy. But most of all, she loves what she does and going to work every day is something she looks forward to.

Frankly, if being a particle physicist makes him happier than being a lawyer and the only consideration were money, then I would always tell him to go for being a physicist.

Wise words sbk.

ps to pastsy, I'm sure your nephew is happy too.

^^Not as happy as Patsy I bet

Agreed SBK - enjoying one's chosen profession is the more important consideration. When I was a pup, I always wanted to be an electronics engineer. My daughter (oddly enough) wanted to be a lawyer, but then wanted to be a vet. I wonder how may people ultimately choose the career/profession to which they aspire in their childhood?

I didn't, and tbh, kind of regret it now. My oldest sister did and she loves her job. Well, its more than a job really, for her. Being a scientist and everything, its more like her way of life

I know a particle physicist- he may even be a poster on this board- who can happily afford restaurant meals...

Probably very few!

I have visions of Tiggs' aspirations having involved the cloth, but I think he's a bit old for Father Jack Hackett to have been his role model (with apologies to Redrus).

(Sorry Tiggs - I couldn't help myself...)

I'd have thought that a particle physicist would make quite a bit, although I don't know much about their job.

Anyway, onto SBK's point. Has anybody seen that Dr. Brian Cox, the particle physicist (or something) chap who is working at the large Hadron Collider?

I was watching him on you tube once and I couldn't help but to think to myself how much he seemed to love his job. I don't think that I have ever seen somebody explain an atom with so much enthusiasm.

Come to think of it, if he was my physics teacher then I might be bashing a few particles together myself right now.

No need to say sorry, it made me chuckle. In my church we don't have 'men of the cloth', no paid ministry or any of that malarkey. It's just me and people like me who do all the ministering. (does that make me a 'layman of the cloth?!? )

ps I did want to be an architect, but it just didn't happen.

Moonrakers - a particle physicist is a scientist who does not look for black holes. (He makes his own).
