Breaking Decency Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 OMG - you were the 'taker'?! They haven't really offered me much of late to take 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Get on the Stella. I'd think of another witty pun, but as I have absolute no interest in this awful play, I can't think of one. Cut and Paste - 1 hour maximum! I hope you aren't insinuating that I should cheat. : edit: There are over 13,000 words in those notes. Mine is going to be a maximum of 1000.

capybara Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 OMG - you were the 'taker'?! The cooking, I love. It's the washing up after... We had a kitchen porter,but it was still hard going. I haven't done a long shift in a professional kitchen for a couple of years,i forgot how hard it can be.I am getting old. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you aren't insinuating that I should cheat. :edit: There are over 13,000 words in those notes. Mine is going to be a maximum of 1000. Fuxake, are you asking me to paraphrase, edit and dissemble the crib notes for you and write the thing myself? Surely it won't take much to source the main themes relevant to the question you've been set and re-write it in your own style? Lazy feckin' students... Never had the internet in my day to help with exams, weren't even allowed a calculator in a maths exam, best we could do was write the answers on our shirt sleeves and hope not to get caught...grumble, mutter... We had a kitchen porter,but it was still hard going. I haven't done a long shift in a professional kitchen for a couple of years,i forgot how hard it can be.I am getting old. . I sympathise. Did you have your own personal Batterie de Cuisine and station and a Sous-chef to prep or was it, as I suspect, more like "Capy, here's the kitchen, do us a favour pal" and everyone else buggering off for a drink? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was at the Golf club he works at in Edinburgh.But the members are fussy buggers with more money than they know what to do with. I t was the big end of season dinner so it was a busy day/night.I just forgot how hard working in a kitchen can be.Now i know why i left the bloody job in the first place.....just of to make Sunday lunch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have a lovely pair of F&F Baffies to go with my F&F socks and F&F boxer shorts. Tesco is great for the 'essentials.' I really like F & F stuff, I buy most of my clothes from Tesco now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! We had a member's Dining Club in my family's restaurant business. The 'Members' were exactly that!

I really appreciate your "help" which involved you wasting 2 seconds of your life typing "Streetcar Named Desire" into Google. Anyway, I must get on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate your "help" which involved you wasting 2 seconds of your life typing "Streetcar Named Desire" into Google. Anyway, I must get on... To be fair, I never studied that play myself, but do understand the mechanics of plot construction, similies, metaphor, characterisation, major themes etc and, if pressed, could construct a passable effort if needed. Get something I did cover, Hamlet, Othello, most Dickens, Salinger, Brecht, Grass, O'Casey, G|olding, Buchan etc and I'll bore your arse off! "Must get on" indeed...aye, they tins dinnae open themselves, I ken! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
