Teaching english in Europe with no degree but TEFL certificate?

People do that. It's called "straight edge", and it's really lame.

It has always worked for me.

Just demonstrates ones lack of self control to the point where total
abstinence is the only option for them.

There are many things in life that are far more pleasant and
interesting than drug abuse. If someone is that anxious to escape the
constraints of this mortal coil, why does he stay?

Some parts of London are even hard to walk in due to crowds, never mind
jog. I nearly always walk in the centre of London nowadays (I prefer it
to the tube) but I usually take side streets and certainly try to avoid
particularly busy streets- e.g. Oxford and Regent streets.

Some areas of Paris can be like this, such as major avenues. The
Champs gets pretty crowded at times. The areas around the Bastille
and Montparnasse can be very crowded. So can the neighborhoods around
Clichy and Pigalle, the Opera Garnier and the Grands Magasins, certain
large streets in the 16th, Convention and Alesia in the south, etc.

Danger, we are drifting back on topic, information which will be useful

That coupled with your shyness and poor people skills presumably.

Shyness is a factor, but given the obstacle of ugliness, it really
doesn't matter. If I were nice looking, shyness would not get in the
way.

The poor people skills are largely a result of extremely limited
socialization, plus a naturally introverted nature. But here again,
this wouldn't make much difference if it weren't for the most salient
obstacle.

Unless he has been a virgin in every incarnation.

Typically the later incarnations are the ones that involve long-term
virginity.

In Europe I would vote for the Swiss in this regard. Worldwide it's a
competition between the Japs and the Chinese.

Nissan in UK outstripped NIssan in Japan productivity a decade ago
already.

How?

by working harder and faster. Simple or what?

No seriously, how?

That was the serious answer.

Yeah, pig's arse!

I have worked in England and there is no way you guys work harder and
faster than the Japanese. I suspect there are other much more
significant reasons.

Everybody lies about sex in any case, even the President.

What did Chirac say about sex? I thought the Frenchy-French were
strickly "don't ask, don't tell"?

The latest UK craze is sniffing nitrous oxide.

I didn't know it was a UK craze. A friend of mine died from this almost
a decade ago. He was an American, and living in the US.

Spare me the pep talks; I got tired of those long ago.

You truly seem to believe than God came down and shat on you, eh!

He also seemed to believe I was interested in giving him advice on the

I only quoted what's in the newspapers.

I just found this on the Beeb's website. Clearly a tragedy, but my
word...
