for the sake of this arguement, I'm going to take you seriously. social policy? well, the pledges he made in his nomination acceptance speech seem far more like the 'social policy' of the ALP: Kerry: We believe in the family value of caring for our children and protecting the...

obviously. perhaps one day you will discover sarcasm. I fear for the mental state of anyone who took my statement seriously, though the 'rumours' others came up with were just as ludicrous.

[to quote a friend] Hence the amusement! Highbrow humour is aptly awarded. [/b] how terribly philosophical of you.

er, no. I was just amused by the thought of ruse = german art movement.

sarcasm is clean! pshaw.

heil quinlan.

because no ruse students have homes, obviously. they camp in the school fields between the piles of cowshit and cook their 'home-made pillz' to enhance the effects of the radiation for their hosted aliens.

is nickyazn a fake? I'm having trouble believing someone is so...ah, we'll say stubborn. obviously it knows nothing about what Ruse is like.

hardly any come from selective schools? what? ok, lets just ignore all the prime ministers who are ex-selective schools, how many of our judges and politicians have come from Fort Street? lets ignore the tv personalities and actors, I mean, Nicole Kidman was from Sydney Girls High, Katrina...

The Dumas Club and The Seville Communion by Arturo Perez Reverte - does anyone else here read him? The Concert by Ismail Kadare (I tell a lie, am still reading this one). The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. and a pile of books I must read...english texts and a few others.

um...in ruse the teachers/school does not care in the least if you don't do maths. same thing with no science subjects. people seem to think ruse is this place with uber caring teachers where everyone does 4u maths. I mean, seriously, come on, its just a school that starts off with smart...

russia - trotsky, pacific conflict. is there anyone else doing pacific? >.<

<smirk> I do my best... NIGHT RAY --Celan Most brightly of all burned the hair of my evening loved one: to her I send the coffin of lightest wood. Waves billow round it as round the bed of our dream in Rome; it wears a white wig as I do and speaks hoarsely: it talks as I do when I...

there doesn't seem to be any problem with not wanting to do maths for the HSC in ruse, as picaresque said there are people in our grade not doing it and they haven't received any suggestions to leave. only one person has left my grade - and by his own admission he didn't do any work [ie, no...

unsurprising. Celan would tempt me into learning German, but first priority is Spanish for the writing of Arturo Perez-Reverte, my love my literary love, my future husband. ;) &that Putin description was more to scare the girl, but you must admit he's the most intriguing leader around...

hey picaresque! <waves> you and your russians... I know, didn't know whether to be flattered or indignant [on his behalf, of course]. I shall post short to balance your long ;); a Celan poem for the month. JANUARIED into the thorn-covered rock recess. (Get drunk and call it Paris.)...

unfortunately, no. I can order a watermelon, but that's about it. As far as I know, there aren't that many different translations available, so comparison isn't really possible. I know someone who read him both in german and translated, I'll ask if he's found that next time I see him...

I found it so hard to get hold of his poetry, especially translations. Wow, someone else who's even heard of him, another rarity. O Little Root of a Dream - Celan O little root of a dream you hold me here undermined by blood, no longer visible to anyone, property of death...

Tenebrae - Paul Celan We are near, Lord, near and at hand. Handled already, Lord, clawed and clawing as though the body of each of us were your body, Lord. Pray, Lord, pray to us, we are near. Wind-awry we went there, went there to bend over hollow and ditch. To be watered...

guy from my school did very well with it 3 years ago [I think], but he was brilliant at drama so I guess that helped.
