Mastermind - your specialist subject is....?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
Following on from Jacko`s posting about the help Clarky and Softie have been to her students, what would your specialist subject be?Or, if you don`t feel you have one, which questions in the general knowledge section are you most likely to be able to answer?
Personally, I don`t think I have enough knowledge of any one subject to place it in a `specialist` catagory. In the general knowledge section, it is definately questions on the natural world, fauna, flora, medical, food, and maybe literature and word usage and origins.(:o)

Thank God `A life of grime ` has finished - I can stop looking for maggots in the bin and rats under the bed!!!! Did you think it gave a true picture Jay - or were you critical of the series. When Pete watches a programme on his specialist subject, ie. the automotive industry, he pick holes in them all the time!(:o)

DeBuilder - I do believe you, but can`t accept that answer! I suspect you work in quite a specialised field. I bet you have an in depth knowledge relating to that.(:o)

Some of it was total crap (no most intended) but for the most part it was true to life. But I used to get a lot more abuse from the public then they portrayed on TV

Being a teacher people expect you to know everything. Being a history teacher is worse - there's just so much of it! The standard response when asked about something you've never bloody heard of is to smile in a knowing way and say "Sorry, that's not my period." If further questioned on the matter of what is my period I will admit to a fortnight in 1483.

Love the idea Jacko......my favourite story like that was about my cousin....who was/is a teacher at Benfield School.While he was training and doing his placement in a school, he was asked a question by a kid and he had no idea what the answer was. He drew himself to fullest height (he's a big lad) and boomed out what do you mean boy, surely you know the answer to a question like that. Go away, look it up and come back tomorrow and I'll tell you if you are right
The lad went away with his tail between his legs, and Neil went off to the cupboard to find a book and look it up himself!
Aren't teachers wonderful creatures.

When you come up to watch the lads training, are you going to a game as well ?
Be nice if you could get to the Strawb or wherever and meet a few more of those you know only from the crap they spout on here.
