h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm just starting a campaign here for working at home. This way, I wouldn't miss and hour of internet access whilst travelling - just a thought! Anyone else with me on this one?

Totaly, and free broadband!!!!!!!!

I'm wholeheartedly behind this campaign.

If colleges and universities can offer distance learning, there must be a place for distance teaching. Surely with video links and the like, this could be accommodated?

I agree Eggy, in this day and age it's possible for a lot of people to work at home and I want it!

That post was mine, Spammer. I was temporarily trapped in Eggy's persona, not a pleasant experience, I can tell you!
I could warm to the notion of distance teaching, though. With a video link to the classroom, the desks wired to the mains and a remote link, I could make a huge success of my teaching career without leaving home!

But youd have to work during those, what?? 4 months where you were off.
E

But I wouldn't mind that, I'd be online!

And think of the knock-on effects:
an immediate decrease in traffic congestion, with no teachers travelling to and from schools, or commuters clogging up the roads and public transport system;
concomitant reduction in stress levels overall;
less pollution, due to a reduction in emissions overall;
and people would be happy to work longer hours than they do already, as they'd have internet access all the time.

This could form the basis of our manifesto, Bev! It could be time to type it up and lobby our MPs, given the huge benefits to be gained across a wide spectrum of issues! This could be the forum on which the next election is fought and won!

And it was only three months, smartypants, with a medical certificate for every single day!

*fondly remembers those days*

LOL!

In stookie, but online!!!

How's the manifesto going, Bev?

Not good - the boss went kinda mental when I suggested it but then again, if I wasn't at work - who would flirt with him!!

You're not suggesting you can't flirt online, are you?

I would have to take issue with that line of argument, Spammer!

Yeah - but the problem is - he can't work a PC!!

Okay, point taken!!! LOL!!!
