most years i get at least one student who tells me that 'peole who disagreed with stalin were sent to the goulash', also that Stalin 'liquidised' the kulaks as a class. I'm hungry and would like to be sent to the goulash right now.

Ha Ha!
My personal favourite clangers this year included:-
"Euthanasia has been decimalised in Switzerland."
"It's a controversial topic with lots of different points of view because everyone has got their own onions."
You'll have to do without my wit and insightful comment this weekend - we're off to try out the new monster tent - torrential rain forecast for sunday - just the job!
If it really was the Kremlin it would come with officious guards and unpleasant authoritarian political leaders, can't see them being much use packing a tent.
Thanks for the birthday greetings . . . how did you know though?
Just been told off. I'm supposed to be 'decluttering' my office and filling a bag for Oxfam. Instead, I'm playing my music too loud and messing about on the internet.
At least I brought in all the camping stuff from the car and stacked it up neatly in the shed, did some ironing, phoned my ma-in-law to thank her for my pressie BEFORE I started loafing around on here. Now get to it sb!
i'm using the excuse of being poorly to not read through further than the first page before replying, so apologies if i'm repeating anything that's been said already, but....
i loved the dancing all night, to every kind of music. we were outside in the rain, no drugs, no alcohol, just the spirit of the music, the greenman and the joy of being alive energising every cell in my body. we didn't do the inside dancing as it just didn't get us but as the tent was busy it was obviously what some people needed.
the whole thing should be about awareness. self awareness of any distress you may cause others and common sense regarding what might distress you.
here's to all the facets of an aware society coming together for the spirit of nature, beauty and music in a few weeks :) xxx
