A Self Portrait...

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!

I don't see how you can be, such a daft set of questions for a scheme the only attraction to which is that you would be going to places you want to visit and since the bastards make you pay anyway what under heaven is the point?

The answer is a very firm unequivocal fuck off.

Having said that I do think a period in Europe would be beneficial. There's a smallish island just off the coast of Europe with for all its acknowledged faults an excellent health service, and would you believe the even smaller, really quite minuscule, and not entirely right in the head island next door, has not exactly great healthcare but at least healthcare does exist.

Thinking about it its fair to say that most of the countries in the EU have better healthcare provision than the USA. If you like French wine, and who doesn't? The French are said to have excellent healthcare and I doubt the Germans or Scandinavian countries lag behind.

The bigger, small island simply oozes history, the minuscule one also but since it held absolutely no interest to the Romans or as far as I know the Greeks, probably couldn't stand the rain or the bogs, anything Roman or Grecian to be found there probably fell off the back of a lorry or slave drawn carriage on its way to or from the rest of Europe.

No. Its a silly question. Go by yourself or with a like minded friend and pore over the artifacts to your hearts content.

Years ago when I was on a judo course the teacher said that teaching as good and enjoyable as it was actually prevented him learning and I don't think there can be much doubt that teaching done properly, how rare is that, must be a major distraction to further education.

I am as ever not entirely convinced that you're serious. The good thing though is I am entirely convinced that my opinion is the last one you would seek on any subject. Tough! Life's a bitch and then you meet one...

One of the 'good' things about teaching in either the bigger or smaller of the islands is that the cost of the teachers trip is usually factored into the overall cost the students pay. You can't seriously imagine any of the teachers on either of those islands would for one second consider paying for themselves...
