Well – would you trust an Airbus?????
Hi fans – almost happy new year.
For those who find the loss of aircraft this last year (S) somewhat disturbing, I post the following comments.
1. I would rather fly on a Jumbo jet – four engines means plenty of back up – also did you know that the Jumbo can glide – something that almost none of the modern aircraft can do.
2. If you hear about an aircraft crash nowadays – which name do you hear most often? – Seems to me (and I could be wrong) that it is Airbus.
3. Would you trust a pane that was designed and built by the French working with the Germans working with the Italians working with the Spanish working with the British? – me neither!!!!
4. Up to now I like flying Ryan air – because they have a fleet of Boeing 737-800 planes – one of the safest on the planet. Someone told me yesterday that they were going to buy some Airbuses. Really? ;-(

Game of Thrones
The Official Website for the HBO Series Game of Thrones | Season 4.
It is Christmas – and the worst news I have had all year has arived. I have seen the latest Game of Thrones episode.
I am devastated – I have become so hooked on this program that it literally is why I come home in the evenings (welll not every evening 🙂 )
It is such a great story – great scenery, great prop great computer aided graphics great acting – great accents – I just love it.
Are you a fan yet?
Check it out.

Bruce Cason – Now I like Christmas – and I love getting Christmas…
Now I like Christmas – and I love getting Christmas cards – you know, those things that arrive in your letterbox in an envelope – with a pretty stamp on it from one of the not so far flung corners or the world.
Well – I think you get my drift. Well anyway :- not only do I like them – but I send out a whole load very year to my aunts and uncles (those that haven’t been collected by the grim reaper yet) and all my cousins – much to their annoyance I am sure – ’cause then they ‘have’ to send one to me!!!!!!
Stop Looking At Your Phones ‘The Britishes’
For fans of Downtown Abbey – a humurous look at using phones during the lessons – it gets a bit slow in the middle – but the ending is great.
Enjoy

On-line learning – MOOCS
Here are some slides that introduce some of the thinking around this rather touchy subject. Is it really the future of education? It can certainly bring down the costs – but as to the quality of learning – that is something else entirely.
Enjoy.
