Wear long sleeves to the interview, if they have a problem then surely the onus is on them to ask? "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Now there's a thing that confuses me, to me biscuits & gravy to me translates as slightly strange scones in white sauce; just wrong! On the other hand, I can't understand why pecan pie hasn't really made it over here, or breakfast burritos, both works of genius! "Your rock is eroding wrong."...

Wow, you still get handwritten presciptions & can't see it changing for 20 years? Where are you? In the UK they've been printed for quite a while now, the doctor just has to sign it. "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Ermm, because that's the British pronounciation? Interesting though that the Americans kept the spelling but changed the pronounciation, as opposed to actually sticking an f in it. Are there other words like that? Oh, & trousers are still pants in some areas, took me a long time to adjust to...

Isn't avoiding dangling prepositions one of those throwbacks to Latin that's generally not seen as an issue now? Put it this way; it's a change I'm happy to adopt. :-) "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

I love the clip and I do like the way Stephen Fry's questioning his own preconceptions, probably something we should all do more of. It's not all about a reluctance to accept change though. There's a big difference between "originality, delight and verbal freshness" and laziness or (and this...

Am I the only person who gets an uncontrollable urge to crack their knuckles when reading this thread? "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

My handwriting often is the start of a series of jokes! This is fine amongst friends, but gets a bit much if I've had a bad day & a shop assistant just starts laughing at my signature! (Yes, this does happen, how very rude!) "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Wondering what on earth's going on in the bathroom? That'll be someone doing the loo-commotion! "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Rosie - Mr Jones sounds like a true genius! As I guess teachers can't get away with throwing things anymore I think the drawing of elephants should be the standard punishment for all pupils throughout their school career. "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Do you think it's worth going for jobs you don't feel qualified for then? Making yourself the bargain option. "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

Fantastic post to read Santa - I'm betting that you being there was the best present your Mum's ever had. "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

If you match everything else they want then it doesn't hurt to give them a call to talk about it. Convince them of your brilliance & you could at least get an interview out of it. Also, certainly within the UK, if you can get your foot in the door then it's a lot easier to then move around &...

Isn't it calories that tie in neatly with heating water? I seem to remember 1 calorie heats 1cm cubed of water by 1 degree C? (I also remember burning peanuts under test tubes of water to determine their calorie content, though I suspect a fair bit of the heat never reached the water!) "Your...

I like! We have "A clean loo is a happy loo"! I'm sorry? A happy loo? "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert
