Aaah but then where's the fun

There's the scanning in a picture of the lecturer and then putting it in the middle of his PowerPoint presentation - that's fun.
(Only happened once, though, and I wasn't involved - honest!)

I probably still have all my "master pieces" around in my notes somewhere

The best game was "swearing at the teachers" Which started by the first pupil putting his 2 fingures up at the teachers back, shutting his eyes and counting to 1. Then the next person has to do it for 2seconds... This gets passed on until someones doing it for about 30 seconds and the Teacher get really stressed

*grins*
I believe you...I suppose there's also the scanning in of lecturer and networking it as the backdrop for all the computers in the department, but that's not recommended

*Notes that one down for future use*

We had something like that happen once, except someone scanned their back side and posted it as the backdrop.

*grins*
Well that one wasn't me...
*looks shifty*
Err not that I mean the other was you understand

British Universities - institutions to be reckonned with.

~A~

*grins*
I've not even gone to uni yet, this was still at school and college

Better to perform an operation like that at Uni I say.... more people can get to "apreciate" the consequences

As I told everyone at the time it wasn't me

Besides lecturers are scarier than teachers

Not if you saw the teacher on 'Hope and Glory' tonight. Shame about the rest of the series.

~A~

I'd agree.... lectures "seem" friendlier than teachers... but then again I guess at that age, all adults seem scary....

*grins and looks intrigued*
"At that age"...? And what age might this be
*grins again*

Sorry..... "that" age was refering to the grand old days of primary and secondary schools.... once you leave and goto college or something... they seem friendlier.... but then perhaps I think that because I have (rather had) to work with people of similar ages to teachers so..... *shrugs* ......

Has anyone played "b******s" (not sure what policy is on rude words. Basically someone starts by saying "b******s" quietly, the next says it a bit louder and so on. Whoever gets caught by the teacher loses. The trick is to time it to coincide with some loud noise, so that you can almost shout it and then the next person has to say it louder still.

Lecturers can be very dodgy. When I was doing law, one of them - my Constitutional Law lecturer - started off by talking about how wonderful it was to see so many young girls doing law, then said a week later "I do not want to be a paedophile at the moment" and then spent ages rambling on about sex tours in Taiwan...
Then there was David Carson, criminal Law lecturer, who was obsessed with Rape, and often started his lectures by saying "I want you to imagine I am sexually attractive..."

The worst thing that's happened in History so far is my Industrial lecturer wrote "Plato, The Spice Girls, Henry VIII and Alfred the Great" on the white board for the sole purpose of confusing the people in the lecture scheduled after ours, which has a reputation of being boring, and so the students would probably spend the whole time wondering what the connection between Plato and The Spice Girls are...

The only time a lecturer's written something to the other clases was when Dr. R. B. J. T. Allenby (aka Reg) wrote "Please clean the board". The following lecture, which was after the weekend, the board was still a mess and, on turning it round (it was one of those ones that wind round like a conveyer belt) he found that his message was still there.

We had one of them once, only it wasn't one of the lecturers who had been writing things on the board.

I always used to draw a Fish on the blackboard.
Oh, and my history lecturers always moan that the whiteboard pens never work, and that blackboards were better.
Which is understandable as the whiteboard pens never work, and blackboards were better
