1. The proper way to refer to calculus is 'the calculus'. That's what Prof. du Sautoy called it last night in the very wonderful Story of Maths - BBC4.
2. Any, admittedly tenuous, grasp I thought I had on how economics works has evaporated. Does anyone out there know what the fuck is going on?
3. How to play A, E, and D (and their minor equivalents) on the guitar. Also I can do the beginning of Smoke on the Water which is really very easy.
4. Attempting to assist teenrealdoc with her French homework when your main source of knowledge is Foux de Fa Fa is a bit of a waste of time. *
5. This doesn't work.
So there you have it - lifelong learning in action
*Although I can ask for my favourite soft drink. "Jus de pamplemousse et jus d'ananas dans un melange s'il vous plait."

Ha! Loved the Flight of the Conchords song - a Kenneth Williams "Ma Crepes Suzette" for our times.
Are you going to do another podcast, but this time with you performing?
The beginning of Smoke On The Water is compulsory when trying out electic guitars in a music shop.
For acoustic guitars you have to know the whole back catalogue of Julian Bream.
Well, I think that's pretty good for one week. Especially when NO ONE has a grasp on economics anymore.. old beliefs are out the window and smashed on the pavement (along with the value of our pension funds).
Night cream works, if the goal is to be greasy while you sleep.
Please do not pay attention to the way that people with silly names refer to stuff.
And yes, I know what is going on in the financial world.
I refer to everything with extra "the".
It's much the better.
You shouldn't be wasting money on Olay night cream what with the credit crunch. Simply dab mayonnaise all over your face and wrap cling film all over it (... er, with holes for the eyes, nostrils and mouth of course). You'll have the complexion of a toddler when you get up in the morning.
betty, that would make me break out in such spots as you can't possibly imagine. all that oil! ew!
This week i learned that if you have a thing on the corner of your mouth that looks like a cold sore, for the love of all that's holy don't touch it and then rub your eyes.
I also learned how to polish shoes to military, parade-ground standard. I'm a proper Navy wife now, i is.

Mrs Chaucer:I am also the chief shoe polisher in our house
