Masterchef: The professionals.

[Krausse]

Do you think Michel Roux takes himself far too seriously ? If he gave me one of his well presented platters with four spots of food on it I would send it back and demand a meal !

[DTCwordfan]

mmmmm will have to think about which offers the best cuisine on that one. Malaysia probably, a stronger Chinese, Indian and Arabic influence on the ingredients..... (was Far East based for 8 years)

[Krausse]

DT! Maslow's Hierarcy Of Needs ? You just done a management course ? I love my dog. Reckon he knew Pavlov !

[sherrardk]

Actually Krausse, I know that. I have a B Ed (hons) Business Studies.

Mojo - I TAUGHT Business Studies for 16 years until we decided to change our way of life.

Anyone got a problem? Actually, I am get seriously wonderfully fluffed off with some people on here and their arsey attitudes. I have things that are bothering me at the moment so I am probably not in the most sunny frames of mind but people who come on here with the sole intent of winding others up are really getting on my flipping nerves.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I was sticking up for you Sherrard. My italics were in answer to Krausse.

[DTCwordfan]

(full MBA, sherrard, a major school....)

[sherrardk]

Sorry Mojo, I have stuff only mind. Really sorry. Worried about thing 1 (have posted about it in family), truly sorry would never offend someone on purpose.

[sherrardk]

DT - really crap degree, was told that I had had a good time for four years though :)

[DTCwordfan]

(not Ed Balls's school but this side of the Pond in Regent's Park).

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

It's really not a problem Sherrard. I know how it gets when you feel crap. I hope things improve for you soon.
Words on a page are always hard to interpret. Maybe I don't use enough of them sometimes. I'm sorry too. :)

[sherrardk]

Without turning this into a love fest, thank you. My degree is truly crap and I hated teaching :( I only did it for the holidays.

[DTCwordfan]

you are playing the situation correctly sherrard, the trick will be staying calm - as if you are not satisfied with the answers, you can ratchet it up. At that point, you may want to play good cop/bad cop, and best if you play the mediation role (in my experience with schools).

[DTCwordfan]

Anyway, I am going to say goodnight and start the wind-down off AB!

Night all and good luck tomorrow, sherrard......let us know how it goes.

[Krausse]

Sherrard ! If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen ! (schadenfreude)

[sherrardk]

Thanks DT, she's so titchy and the boys that may have been horrible have had such a crap life so far. Feel ever so sad for these boy but have to look after my girl. Thank you, x

[sherrardk]

Krausse!!!!!!!!!! Not sure what your problem is. Maybe if you could elucidate (www.gooogle if in doubt) I could explain further. Ball's in your court. But be aware, I'm not really in a 'playing' kind of mood.

[NOX]

If I were you Krausse I'd quite whilst you're behind...

[NOX]

Do you even know what Schadenfreude means???

[Krausse]

You lost the plot there ^^^

[NOX]

Well I'll educate you then since you clearly don't- it means to take joy in other people's misery, do you do that often?
