Visit to Sheffield

Home / 2006 / February

I kind of forgot to mention before I went that I was going to Sheffield for a few days – better late than never I guess. I’ve been at a youthwork training course. During the course I learnt many things, including:

the reason vegetarians are wrong. “Well, it’s obvious if God didn’t want us to eat the animals he wouldn’t have made them out of meat!”
the importance of asking a variety of questions in a discussion. (“What’s grey, fluffy and has a long tail?” “Well, I know it must be Jesus but it sounds like a squirrel.”)

I’ve also spent time with good friends of my family who are currently playing host to two university students. These students, big fans of the O.C., decided they were going to “convert” me during my stay. (They almost managed it – I didn’t watch quite enough to get hooked, though if I knew when it was on I may yet fall under the influence.) I also taught two members of the household how to use their iBooks a bit better (having never owned one) and studied the maths of team building and small groups.

Awesome God arrived today – expect a review shortly. I’m on holiday though, so I may sleep more than usual.

Mr E

Are those examples genuine?

Are you still working at the camera shop?

Elaborate on the team building maths please.

Sorry about putting the name of the shop there. Edit it out if you want. I realised just as I clicked “Submit Comment”.

Did you eat shed loads of food at The Oakes? So much so you almost died? I did when I was there, it was one of the best weekends of my life.

Actually, I didn’t eat that much at the Oakes, as I was only there for lunch. I was in Sheffield for the other meals. We had some fantastic pasties for lunch, though, and Oakes Flapjack is superb.

Mr E: It’s far too complex for a text-based medium. And what do you mean, genuine? People really said those things if that’s what you mean :)

Yes, I meant that. People really said them?

Are you still working at the camera shop?
