What a whole load of utter bollocks. The kind of drivel the cultural studies teacher on my parallel course tries to get her students to spout but fails miserably. All the women with CFS I read about in the tabloids are either kick-boxers, burlesque dancers, or starting a career in modelling or...

I had a blind student on my business English course about 10 years ago. He worked for a company developing computer software for blind people. I used to send him the documents for the lesson beforehand (as word.doc email attachments) and he'd turn up with a keyboard and earphones just as able to...

They seem to think that being full of shit is a good thing.

:laugh: What a fabulous verb, I'll teach it to my students.

Apart from the above, this also rang my alarm bell: I can't pretend I know exactly what it means, but I know it makes me feel uneasy.

I just couldn't bring myself to follow Alistair Gibson (advanced)'s example. Sorry, just don't have the confidence to claim that level of wonderfulness. It's not a qualification I'd heard of before, so it must be very exclusive.

There isn't any credible evidence that ME is not a physical illness. What are you talking about, and why would you choose to make such a post?

In the ME world bickering about labels has always turned divisive and acrimonious very quickly, which is something we could really do without.

If any of you squashed fly junkies fancy going the whole hog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccles_cake Wow, if they get the order wrong, you'd get to utter the line: "Waiter, there isn't a fly in my soup". At which point Alexei Sayle would probaby burst into the room.

I have finally had a chance to listen to this, fabulous stuff. The Gospel according to John should be preached everywhere. Took me back to my student days in the 1980s too. Rugby players could out-debauch anyone.

Are they trying to be funny?

I get better when I'm stressed. I'm at my best when I'm totally pissed off and fucking furious. ME symptoms just evaporate. Not even sure I get much of a payback for it. All I need is a constant supply of people or situations which annoy me. Fortunately there's no sign of that running out any...

I never metacognition I didn't like.

Sorry, but there are a few words there, in particular "hermeneutic", which set my alarm bells ringing: https://www.s4me.info/threads/wish-me-luck-everybody.341/page-2#post-5567

Oh good, so they can make up what they want then. I hope they made up something nice.

Oh good, another word to keep on top of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychophysiology Yup, guilty.

Damn! I was looking for a good pun on Liddle and couldn't come up with one.
