No, not really...
Actually, speaking of discussing soaps, it was very funny last week at community service cause we got bored in the staff room one day and started talking about Passions. And the really funny thing was that ever though we all hadn't watched it recently, and we'd all watched it at different times, Passions goes so slow not watching it for a few months means you've probably missed one cup of coffee.
Passions is funny. We were talking about that time Charity got sucked into her cupboard which happened to be a portal to hell and then Ethan and Sam went in to save her.
We were also talking about the time last year when I was on crutches and sick and stuff and so I kept having days of school, but a month after I'd had my first day off school the passions people were still at the same party, in the same rooms, having the same conversations...

Dude WHAT is Passions!?
Language Thing - Department Co-ordination Office Water Cooler
Cat-Eyes: No..... why.... ? Posted Jun 28, 2004
Passions is a soap that sorta takes off other soaps. It's got witches and all sorts of stuff, and they deliberately go REALLY slowly but it's not like their actively trying to take off other soaps, they act as though this is a perfectly normal soap and everything and that's what makes it funny. They take it completely seriously.
They have this little dude called Timmy who's awesome but the actor who plays him died 
But we still haven't gotten around to the episode where he's dead... That i know of, I might watch it tomorrow...

...ehhmmmm, yeah...
I sort of, you know... had this idea, like, these two people might teach me a bit of welsh, and in return, I might teach them a few phrases of Swedish...
You think over here, by the watercooler, might be a cool place to start?

Yeah that sounds absolutely fine Milla. Obviously in the future if anyone comes wanting to learn Welsh then I'll see about making it something more official and then hopefully people will want to learn Swedish and you can have a dept for that too. In the meantime knock yourselves out here

I about as lazy a teacher and student as you can combine in one person, the Welsh-Swedish conversation died of malnutrition in two posts... 
I'll find something other to play with! Milla

And people wonder why I'm always so twitchy about opening new departments! AND I would like to point out that I was proved right! Danish, Dutch, Gaelic...

And you to be among the managing directors...
(the Swede's guess: Gaelic - spoken in Scotland and Ireland?)
