    Creation of a new state: a federal Europe

    From Irish Family Press: I remember I read in The Economist, this constitution that was already rejected before by Netherlands and I can't remember what else, maybe Sweden etc. is going to be submitted again with amendments that basically only to cover the points that were objected by these...

    Ever had one? Ever heard anybody you know who told that kind of story? Maybe you can put it here. I was in Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris going to transit to another plane to Lyon.

    Teaching children English

    Had any experience of teaching English to children of elementary school age? Also as a second language more importantly. But that probably doesn't really matter yet, as I'm more concerned whether it's important to start from teaching the grammar or not. Unfortunately the case here heaps of Irish...

    Learning from interactive media or text

    Am curious, it seems some people wouldn't use emoticons let's say cause they would prefer to relying on text to convey what they think or even what they feel on some things.

    Fave poem

    Besides "IF" by Rudyard Kipling, another one is this: It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for...

    Can't sleep

    Something really bothered me today. Actually an argument with a colleague and I know there is going to be another one, because this colleague is so into your face which was mine today and she isn't going to change and I wouldn't bite my tongue unless it's not a biggie. But I guess I am that...
