I'll tell you what... why don't you just rub it in, why don't ya! :-) I hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday and made the most of it (which I clearly see you did!)
For the record I had an horrific weekend with, get this, with *NO* Internet connection. You should think yourself lucky...

No internet connection? Bummer. Not the end of the world though, eh? Like, read a book or something. :-)

This is me, every day at the moment (except for the Wicklow/Dalkey/smoking cigarettes bit), isn't it great? Got to love the Bank Holidays/6 weeks of summer holiday...

See everyone always says 'why would you be a teacher, with the annoying kids and all that crap', but they forget about the lovely long holidays that come as part of that whole package.
But Annie, did you know that kids (and by extension teachers) get THREE MONTHS summer holidays in Ireland?
Oh, and I thoroughly recommend the Wicklow/Dalkey thing. Lovely, lovely places. And the smoking cigarettes too (sorry!).
(mmmm... lovely fags...)

I could really go for the whole teaching career thing... if it weren't for the kids. I don't hate them (far from it) but I have this [natural?] male feeling of "I'm not good with kids." I really need to get over this feeling as it's not good if I'm looking to start a family. Ah, who am I kidding... I need to find a good woman first! *embarrassed silence*

Yes, the production of kids requires a woman and a man, good point Sharky.
At least, it used to. The future may not be so bright, or as bump n' grindy.

*shudders* Oh, my... Matt, having read through the link you posted I see a bleak future where there is no need for the male populace... or the fun bumpy 'n' grindy bits at least. :-(
