    Perhaps the presence of the the children suggests that he should have been paying more attention when they taught him how the first time?

    Heh, just kidding (kidding...I need to get out more, I think). What course is he taking?

    He's gone to college to study IT Hardware so he's surrounded by 16/17 year olds. He did college back when he was 16 but didn't find anything he wanted to make a career out of so he's gone back now while we can afford for both of us not to work

    I'm sorry, but I find it rather funny that a 35 year old guy with kids, studying IT hardware, is stuck in a class where they are explaining condom usage. Is this some sort of general ed requirement that he cannot get out of? Seems bizarre, but I suppose it makes for a good story.

    First RPB spam of this year, for me. Doing well, got kind of caught up in RL and getting used to PhD studies.

    They teach kids studying IT hardware how to use a condom? Do they also teach these kids how to connect a space shuttle to the ISS? :p

    [​IMG] UK has sex ed compulsory from year 7 until year 13.

    Me? I came home when I was seven to find a stack of books on my bed :mommy:

    Funniest lecture I've attended on the subject was on examinations of the female anatomy when a speculum was handed out to the audience. It was passed to the first girl and there was this loud shearing noise as it sprung wide apart without anybody handling it. I think everyone in the room at that time crossed their legs in horror.

    I thought it was hilarious.

    Nobody wanted to touch it after that though, lol

    Turns out that he was allowed to miss the lecture. He was also allowed to miss 'What to expect as you learn to drive' (he's been driving 18 years!). These things are compulsory for all the kids at the college. It's a good thing but silly for people like Rob!

    Why on earth would a college need to teach kids what to expect when they learn to drive? Just in case they paid off the driving instructor to pass them?

    Hey Lore, I've been wondering where you've been - good to see you back!

    [​IMG] Tends to be a popular thing in community colleges as there's a certain strata of society that has kids either trying to teach themselves or a relative does because they don't want to bother with lessons :doh:

    To be fair to be qualified to teach driving in the UK it's pathetically easy. It should be better regulated.

    TED is coming to Concordia university (It's on Montréal) on February 19, I sure hope I can attend! You've got to apply to it, guess there's a lot of people wanting to go in. Wonder who will be the invited lecturer.

    Wait, one of the most benign, innocent jokes between an American and an English(wo)man, and you feel you need to try to put a stop to it? :rolleyes:

    By the way, my second post had nothing to do with what side of the road the English drive on, and everything to do with a girl with a high speed chair who isn't bound by traffic laws. ;)
