Ah. But a term is the in-school sections between holidays, and there are three per year. At uni, there are just 2 semesters a year.Bruce Rioja wrote:A term.truewhite15 wrote:Well, what d'you call it??Bruce Rioja wrote:se-fecking-mester?

Re: Today I'm happy about......
You know, you take 'em within sight of a sandpit these days and they're calling themselves students. You have two terms and that's that!
May the bridges I burn light your way

All semesters are terms. Not all terms are semesters.
Regardez-vous:
An academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college or university holds classes. These divisions may be called terms. The schedule adopted by institutions of learning or education systems vary widely.
A semester system divides the academic year into two terms, roughly 15-18 weeks each.
A trimester system divides the academic year into three terms, roughly 10-12 weeks each.
A quarter or quadmester system divides the academic year into four terms, roughly 12 weeks each, and generally counts the summer as one of the terms.

Bish, have you read this? I loved it and, although a work of fiction, there are a lot of reference points which make you look at the City completely differently.thebish wrote:nope - on the way to Doggett's Coat and Badge! (walked past the globe though...)William the White wrote:

edit: just noticed it has 1300 pages - which might take me 3 years to read! - so don't hold your breath on the reporting back!

It gallops along. Basically it covers the history of London as a novel with key figures ( and their descendants) over 2,000 years.thebish wrote:no - but I'll look it up and report back!Gary the Enfield wrote:Bish, have you read this?

Doggetts is mentioned at a certain point as (I think I recall) the Coat and Badge refers to the amateur rowing race on the Thames organised by the landlord of the pub. That's why I recalled the book.

Finding a quick way to defrost a freezer, use a wall paper steamer without the square bit on it.
My dog (proper 57) had his anal glands emptied once and yes the smell is something to behold!!

Wife just puts two bowls of boiling water in there and shuts the door. Works fine.Raven wrote:Finding a quick way to defrost a freezer, use a wall paper steamer without the square bit on it.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
i think it depends just how badly frosted it is! presumably, Tango's missus keeps on top of it - but when it gets to the point of being several centimetres/inches thick, even Tango's missus would find that a couple of bowls of boiling water and shutting the door makes no difference at all!Raven wrote:Tried that it didn't want to know
the steamer is a cracking idea - it is how i used to do mine before we got this newer one that doesn't seem to need it as badly - i had one of those portable house steamer jobbies that never got used and was stuck in the back of the cupboard until I discovered its defrosting properties!
