[Robusto]

...is the number of French oral taped exams I have marked since the start of May.

The end is in sight!

Probably two more weeks of after-hours doses.
I've worked out that I will have spent 3.5 days on this job.

Cigars help no end to get through this.
They really help my concentration.

Do they help yours?

[TJ:01]

I'll let you know after I start my A-Level history marking at the end of the week... :D

[Robusto]

It's a good game is it not, Sir?

Are you marking paper scripts, or will your papers have been scanned so they are screen-marked?

I assume you do this for wad not love. :biggrin1:

[Robusto]

I'm marking by LISTENING with very few scribbles.
Just the actual marks and totals.

I don't think I could mark paper scripts and work a cigar.

Multi tasking Robusto? it`s the future.:rolleyes:

[larrysputnik]

That's why I don't give homework. It takes away too much of my cigar time.

:mullet:

[Robusto]

I have exactly 100 to go so it should all be over in less than two weeks.

Suggestions for how to celebrate, please. :smoke:

[cj121]

Has to be stick related mate. Get your bum over to Teddington again and treat yourself:rock:

[Stevieboy]

Did someone say French Oral?!?!?:rolleyes:

[Robusto]

lol

Yup. I'll go for some of that.

BOTS - Come Spider Me All Over...

[Robusto]

3 tapes of 8 candidate each.
24 candidates to go to freedom.
I don't fucking believe it!
AND it's my day job pay day tomorrow!

I will have completed my marking before going to bed tonight unless the religious freaks come a door knocking.

Phoning results abroad and posting back all associated detritus will have to wait as it's not so urgent.

I can mark eight candidates (roughly a C90) to a fat bastard like a D4. NOTHING has detracted from the pleasure.

I don't know what to do to push the boat out tonight...

Maybe just a quiet garden smoke with some good port.

I am not going to know what to do with myself for two or three hours every evening.

Maybe I'll take a cigar picture of myself.

Remember your promise to be a trainee stockman Robusto.:rolleyes:

Do not be overly tempted by your growing selection of cigars.

Focus on those nicely aged cigars you will have this time next year.:cowboyic9:

[Robusto]

Mate.

I'm having problems keeping my hands of all these beauts!
I think I'll just smear myself in Vic's VapoRub of an evening and sniff in deeply.

MEANWHILE...

That it smells bad and makes you choke
(Candice-Marie – You have a lot to answer for)
You told me that you love the Kings Of Leon
That you ride horses on a Saturday and have a pool
You told me maths is boring and that your teachers are too strict
You like The Inbetweeners, and that woke me up at last because I do, too
You have a cat called Mark and you think Bridgewater is boring
You told me you had a job on Saturday at Waitrose

Stuck in front of The Bill
And its PCP
Wondering what to do with all that Roger Daltrey
Til next year when I meet you lot again

Correct me if I'm wrong, senor :cowboyic9:Robusto, but you haven't been posting much lately (for obvious reasons). But senor, I implore you, return to your regular posting pattern.

:deal:I drafted a lovely:angel: prayer, chanted a billion "hail Marys" :amen:(don't really know how :dontknow:) and have been :typing: posting my lil' brown pinkies off try to entertain, distract actually, the young bloods that keep showing up in boat loads:hail: yearning to hear from the forum elders :grouphug:

But dude:cool:, I'm running out of steam:vollkommenauf:!!!

So I beseech ye':moony:... please come back soon!!! :41:

:bandit:Names TJ, TJCoro, and I'm your bigest fan! :wink:

[Robusto]

I have been very busy with my Cash For Questions and am still trying to find my way out of my brain full of FRANGLAIS.

There is so much going on at work. Yesterday - with hardly any warning - I was entertaining 65 pensioners in a ghastly church hall with community singing of songs like Consider Yourself - AT home... I had to go commando because the kiddie choir bowled up late.

I had to do two songs from Les Miserables.
Between us, this musical makes me heave. The pensioners seemed oblivious.
But very grateful.

This is called something like Community Links for the government and the internal powers that be. It's actually a bit of singing and clapping and dancing with a strawberry tea, but it has to have King Dong terminology to MEAN SOMETHING so it ticks the right boxes.

Shit. I think I spoke to the wife for the first time in three days just now when I was spraying on the Armani. She's off to Centre Parks (Center?) with some gels from Fri thru Mon so I am my own man.

Throughout the Cash For Questions, I've been blitzing away with quality stogies. I'm waiting for 50 RA Small Club Coronas so I can lay off the more serious smokes and let them sleep.

I'm polishing my shoes for the band's showbiz frottage on Saturday night.

I've seen how clever my 16 year old is on some music software/mixing package called Nuendo. He has mixed a track for the Cigar Walk video incredibly well, and now I want him to "record my album" lol over the Summer.

So I'm writing shit - like that nonsense above - but I will try it more seriously than that.

TJ - I'm on here most of the time, my friend. It's just that work life is feckin busy, my personal life is feckin busy, marking was aural Mogadon - done professionally mind, possums - and band life is feckin busy because of Summer gigs.

I finish on 17 July for six cigar-chomping weeks and have plans afoot for a very special bit of pairwork I'm looking forward to soon after that.

The thing is... If you're busy and you suddenly stop, you can get very depressed. Or borderline catatonic.
Well, that's what happens to me!

So I shall keep running, senor. :biggrin1:

[TJCoro]

Okay, okay senor :cowboyic9:Robusto, I'll continue to do what I can to protect the honor and integrity of this fabulous fourm while you are away tending to other business. :music::toilet::lalala:

So :adore:I pledge to you and the other fine members of this forum that :ranger:I will get it up each morning, :ballchain:drag my arse to work, :ranger:log onto UKCF, :typing:throw down a few keystrokes and, with any luck, :damnmate:irritate the hell outa' a :baby: newbie or two before the day is done.:rip:


After all :wacko:...I'm :bandit: TJ, TJCoro, keeper of the fucking :mad2:flame!

:juggle: Balls Up, Boyz:secruity:! Time to go to work!! :unionjacks:georgecross:usa2:
