NotThePars Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Anyone got any good ways to revise?I'm getting a few tests as school in the coming weeks, and can never just sit there and revise. I'd recommend if you find it difficult to sit and revise to never spend more than 20 minutes in an hour revising. Listening to music or having just noise (television or something) blaring in the background. Eventually you'll pick things up that way, at least it worked well for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm talking about the big pointless plastic ones that people insist in putting in sinks for some reason. Why? What's wrong with your sink? The basin just gets in the way! It serves no purpose in a sink! It's like putting your toaster under the grill, or a crisp packet over your knob then putting a condom over the crisp packet! Always annoyed me. Basins in sinks that is. I've never used a crisp packet and a condom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that some words used to describe speech impediments are unpronounceable (or at least hard to pronounce) by those who suffer from them? The only two examples I can think of offhand are lisp and stutter. Is it that some folks are just p-plain cruel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 That seems a bit small, i.e only about 240 folk online, but 60 on GN alone tonight. Are there no big ones? Football365 maybe, that's got a decently-sized messageboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Surely I can't be the only one that thought the word "dilemma" was spelt "dilemna"? Every single online source is telling me I'm wrong, but I'd have called you stupid if you'd told me that was how you spell it. My mind is blown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I cannot understand why you'd think that at all. Other than the stock answer of "he's from Fife" I can't either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) What are the disadvantages of having electronic communications with staff? I'm having a mind blank! whit? I'm not sure if I understand completely but like...emails being lost, deleted, sensitive infortmation being sent to wrong addresses? that kind of thing? edit to add: or something slightly personal like...email based communications can isolate members of a team rather than verbally communicating in groups where individuals can have input and discussion?

Nick_BCFC Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 What price is over 2.5 goals in the Burnley game tonight (Paddy Power if possible)? Asked on the gambling forum but this one is a little quicker usually. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an essay question that I have as part of an assessment. It wants a list of advantages and disadvantages of staff using emails and stuff like that. I have a list as long as my arm for advantages, but couldn't think of a single disadvantage. Never thought about sensitive information being lost, that's a great one. Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much personal use, too much time to "catch up" if off on holiday for a few days are another couple of disadvantages too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails can bounce back and forward on an issue for discussion when a vergbal exchange could nail it all rather than questions going back and forward for ages.

th1stleandr0se Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The email one is interesting. Rugster's comment about the delay inherent in each line of a conversation is relevant but I still use emails rather than phone where I want to keep a paper trail so that the other party can't say "I never said that" later on. For your assignment, add in the "virus attached" angle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
