The Quotable Dr. Watson

Here are some snippets, collected from my dear community members, that you just might enjoy:

"I don't know, now and then I like some gore." - Chris Barry, Office Manager

"You made my life easier by not being there." - Lizete, Receptionist

"I turned the radio on this morning, heard the national anthem and wondered who died. Then I realized it was just the Queen's birthday." - Dr. Watson, Snack Machine Controller.

"If you're going to fall asleep on the Tube, fall asleep on the circle line." - Edmund, Resident Spy

"The movie was somewhere between horror and religion."

"I go to the movies because I don't have a girlfriend, but then I don't have a girlfriend because I go to the movies."
- Tim, Cinema Connoisseur

"You don't even need to go to a bar to get a girlfriend . . . I got mine at the bus station." - Gedeon, who really needs a haircut


Headlines for 27 April:

34 COUNTRIES AND 12 LANGUAGES
The first english conversation class of the term was a smashing success with 10 people attending - some residents, some community. The hot topic was travel; the group of ten people found that altogether they had visited at least 34 countries and between them could speak 12 languages.

11th WORSHIPNIGHT ANTICIPATION BUILDS
The last worship night of the academic year will be held on 9 May and practices are heavily under way. Singing, playing, planning, praying and (of course) worshipping can be seen at least four times a week in the old chapel by very dedicated community members. More prayer is needed to make this event one that touches the ears and hearts of all who will attend!

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
Office Team is preparing to say goodbye to veterans Antra and Lizete. Antra is engaged and going to be married in Latvia to her childhood friend Dzintars. Lizete is venturing off into the "real" London work-world. Leaving speeches will be made on 9 May; at Leandro's advice we will start lunch an hour earlier to accommodate them.

NEW EQUIPMENT FINALLY ARRIVES
The new snack machine arrived, prices raised, and a rebellion/picket line plotted by Dr. Watson to protest the higher prices. The students (and Chris Barry) who had suffered caffeine deprivation from the lack of a convenient source of Diet Coke and Red Bull don't seem to care and are now willing to pay anything for their study juice. [Side note: the new software promised over a month ago has yet to be installed in Reception.]

Tune in later for more headlines.
