I meant that the teaching as 40% of a workload bit in Amy's message was very true and worth reiterating - I wasn't meaning to say any more about her last sentence and have the last word on today's burning issue! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-1146181018791941952006-04-27T21:06:00.000-02:302006-04-27T21:06:00.000-02:30I think that point was made Amy - but it's very tr...I think that point was made Amy - but it's very true and worth making again.<BR/><BR/>Chris - before his screen career, Vinnie Jones played for Watford FC. I was born in the hospital next to the Watford FC ground on Vicarage Road, so I do indeed have a Vinnie Jones factor...but I must admit that's really as far as it goes (in case anyone gets the impression from all this (or from the photo) of a sort of Baldrickesque figure - or if I sounded to Lesley like a chattering, vitriolic hobgoblin of the Alexander Pope variety - I am 5'8.5" and 180 lbs, though!).<BR/><BR/>Lesley - thank you for the kind words, and based on the experiences you mention, I do understand where you were coming from in the tenure debate! Well made points - I just happen to think that they miss the big picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-1146174594794383822006-04-27T19:19:00.000-02:302006-04-27T19:19:00.000-02:30Congrats to jer on his many triumphs.

U of W will be better with his addition. <BR/><BR/>P.S. I think Clarence is a perfectly respectable name for a cat.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891041230874404452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-1146171535154927372006-04-27T18:28:00.000-02:302006-04-27T18:28:00.000-02:30To my readers:Yes, it's true: I do Jer a misservic...To my readers:<BR/><BR/>Yes, it's true: I do Jer a misservice to refer to him as a "tiny, whiny thing." That was his character, certainly, though only in the instances when he was imprisoned in the tower and later being beaten up and murdered by a female assassin.<BR/><BR/>"Huge and beery?" Only too true. In fact, outside of his role as the diminutive Clarence, the descriptives "yob" and "hooligan" are frequently tossed about, though noly once he is out of earshot for fear of Vinny Jones-style retribution.Chris in NFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064023598020493124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-1146167539210657842006-04-27T17:22:00.000-02:302006-04-27T17:22:00.000-02:30I am honoured, my friend.

I would like to point out to your public, however, that it was only in character in Dick Three that I was a tiny, whiny thing (in spite of any impression to the contrary that my posted comments may have given). In real life I'm a huge beery thing. And, I hope, better made to court an am'rous looking glass than the sweating lord in the picture. <BR/>That play, one of Dr L's many triumphs, was a joy to be involved in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
