To the late Toby Izlington...on the dangers of conforming to a redundant academic faculty.

BEWARE OF KLEVVA SPEAK. You seem to have hoovered up a lot of less than useless waffle over time, which may make you feel more acceptable with your peer group. I never dumbed down to relate to you conversationally in your early years son. It is essential to maintain a practical common lexicon.I have heard you use phrases that though delivered with confidence make you look like a confused intellectual, an arrogant one at that. It has never been my wish that it should be so. Having heard you using the term "paradigm shift" a few too many times to not be a matter for concern I feel I must insist that you shift your own and move your head to safer ground. You appear to be at some risk caused by your perceived need to "DUMB UP". I found a neat little example of a symptomatic observable"glitch".

" Thanks for the presentation. I think you have hit the hammer right on the head with the paradigm shift idea..." From someone calling themselves a "Campus Technology Co-ordinator".

Funny, if it wasn't so tragic. They have the technology but perhaps they don't have the intelligence they were born with.
Your FFFing Sad Old Tooter of a Dad remains unmoved and duly unimpressed by the standard of modern higher education. They would do well to insist that seven years "on the shovel" ought to be prerequisite to applying for a post in a teaching facility. Sounding as though you know is like seeming to care.
I never claimed to be a teacher Toby, it wouldn't be safe. I will stick with my practical applications son. The TOOTER doesn't need a POOTER.
They that learn know that they who teach don't do the do. You would be well served if you could work along side me and shoot the breeze occasionally. If the historic mistake isn't buried in short order it will virally infect all of whom it attempts to influence. Peer group acceptance of your ideas is no qualification that would pass muster in the real world.The consensus delusion contributes too little to the common life support.
At home now we have just managed to buy four bags of hydraulic lime, we will have saved for the next four by the time they are used up. I am not setting absolute deadlines as to when each task is meant to be finished, It is on going, for life.
Progress in all directions. A worthy cause for modest celebration.
It looks from this side of the quarantine moat as though the " clever kids" of the U.K. are desperate to get into debt. Crisis avoidance doesn't seem to have been put very high on the popular agenda. Your voluntary acceptance of our "Last Worlder" strategy would serve you with the nourishment that your umbilical strangulation and amniotic suffocation has deprived you of most. Your overburdened mam can't compensate for that unfortunate start, nor may your valued peer friendships.The state institutions are evidently in receivership, morally , economically and intellectually bankrupt.Catch up
and keep up or be left behind in the trashcan of the post Empires' decay. Your subscription to moribund reconstruction is lamentably out of date for all the liquid crystalline flash. Protesting retrospectively against eviction in Calais is an ironic turn of coat. My own protest against my eviction and the wholly undue uncaring and callous lock out by your "liberal" family group, found no practical support in your personal camp. You actually capitalised on it. So you still do in many ways.
"Them paradigms are a shifty old lot an no mistake, they concentrate so bloomin hard on the ever changin variables they misses the constancies altogether." Sez Iz "They would hit the wall afore they found the door,I'm mortal sick of havin to hold it open."
"There's better ways forward thats for sure.""Justice for all sez I not jus for us OR them."
Our little situation is temporarily obstructed by law Toby. Without the need for undue protest the rules are to be reviewed. Others will most likely benefit, what with the ever shifting paradigms n'all.(They can't help it they do it on their own)We accommodate the fact of Law into the strategy of our progressive planning. Our desired result will be achieved to our own satisfaction,we will go round the elephant that bars our way.Basic political "science" son. Out dated or improper law difficult to overturn once due process is being served. O.K. the point will be understood well enough even if you aren't ranting against the eviction of the immigrants. When you said you were coming here via Dunkirk the only other option was you have a bloody useless sense of direction. You may have,we will have to see. You may not turn up here at all. I will without a doubt have a pile of stuff to say about that if you don't.
Well there you are then SNOT. I will see you if you ever get here in reality. Don't leave it too late.
