So true. Gets to a point the person no longer control the body when the urge comes.

you almost shed tears, but you ended up not shedding any, is that what you want to tell us?

It’s going to get so bad on earth before His return that He asks this question of whether or not there’ll even be faith left on the earth at His return.

“But, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:8 )

Choi! But she for no put the picture of the perve's family sha! I guess she could not take the harrasment any longer and she had to expose him. Two years??
Hian! That's stalking na..

You see someone and you think they are normal. Sometimes i ask myself: are we all really human beings? Let me save his picture, who knows i might cross path with him someday, and then PUNCH him in the face.

Both parties share in d blame

Do you mind them? Whose business is it if someone decides to get married at his/own convenient time?

It aired when I was very very little, it's only the title that's a bit familiar. My folks used to watch it and laugh but I can't say exactly what it's all about.

I guess you were so little you couldn't comprehend why the older folks were laughing. I was privileged to be part of those who watched it even though i was young. But the good thing about it is, if you watch it again, it looks all fresh and hilarious. That is what makes a good comedy.

Who was your favorite person in this hilarious comedy series:

SCHOOL STAFF:

1. Mr Jeremy Brown - the English teacher and focal point of most of the series. He holds a degree from Oxford University. He is hired in the series pilot, in which he is warned that the previous teacher was driven insane by the students. Mr Brown is up to the challenge, however he often has to put up with the students' often literal, creative interpretations of the English language.

2. Miss Dolores Courtney - the Headmistress of the school. Ms. Courtney holds a very eminent dislike for the male sex and thinks of women as being superior over men and prefers having female teachers instead of male. She at first hesitates to hire Mr. Jeremy Brown, but puts him on a month's trial. She often takes time to drop by the classroom to check up on the progress of Mr. Brown's class, often getting disappointed.

3. Gladys - the tea lady in the school cafeteria.

4. Sid - the caretaker of the school.

STUDENTS:

1. Giovanni Capello - a stereotypical Italian chef, the class's loudest student and de facto class monitor. He is best friends with Max. Giovanni's main problem with English is understanding metaphors and large words, though he often answers wrongly on purpose to amuse the class. He often calls Mr. Brown "Professori". When shocked or surprised, he often remarks "Santa Maria" or "Holy Ravioli", and also often says "okey-kokey" instead of "okey-dokey.

2. Anna Schmidt - a stereotypical 1970s German and works as an au pair. In her introduction, she refers to "German efficiency", and accordingly Anna is a hard-working student, occasionally asking legitimate questions and as the series progresses, answering Mr Brown's questions correctly. Her main problem is mixing "V"s and "W"s.

3. Juan Cervantes - a Spanish bartender with an optimistic streak. Juan is always laughing at himself, confident of his answers even when they are completely wrong. He cares a great deal for Mr Brown, whom he considers almost as part of his family.

4. Ranjeet Singh - a London Underground employee from Punjab in India and a devout Sikh. He was mistaken for a Pakistani when Mr Brown asked him to sit next to his "fellow countryman" Ali Nadim in the first episode. He constantly argues with Ali, who is a Pakistani Muslim. He has a good vocabulary but tends to mix up his general knowledge, and upon being corrected he always puts his hands together and says "a thousand apologies". When angered by people, he usually threatens them with his kirpan.

5. Chung Su-Lee (series 1-3) - a stereotypical Chinese woman who works as a secretary at the Chinese Embassy. She constantly mixes up her "R"s and "L"s. When she quotes chairman Mao, Mr. Brown replies "That's a matter of opinion".

6. Tarō Nagazumi (Series 1–3) - a Japanese electronics executive who works as a representative for the London branch of the fictional Japan-based electronic company, Bushedo electronics. He speaks English fluently, but has a habit of adding "-o" to every word he says (as in "thank-o," "England-o," and so on) and always replies "Ah So!" and bows whenever he is called upon.

7. Maximillian Andrea Archimedes Papandrious (Series 1–3) - a stereotypial Greek shipping agency worker from Athens, and is often paired with Giovanni. He is attracted to Danielle. Max tends to misunderstand metaphors and large words. He also has a heavy accent, which causes him to add "H" to almost every word he says.

8. Danielle Favre (Series 1–3) - an amorous French au pair who instantly grabs the attention of all the men, including Mr Brown. Her good looks often distract Giovanni and Max from their answers, while Mr Brown is often found in seemingly incriminating positions with her, and she seems to have a crush on him. She is annoyed when the Swedish Ingrid Svenson joins the class, instigating a rivalry for Mr Brown's attention.

9. Ali Nadim He is the most vocal, and most honest and hardworking of the students and often misinterprets the English for a comical sense, but has a very fair command of it. As a Pakistani Muslim, he has a vocal and occasionally physical rivalry with Ranjeet, who is an Indian Sikh. B. Ali's typical catchphrases are "yes please" (in situations where he should say "yes, thank you", "oh blimey!", "scuze me please" (which is how he pronounces "excuse me please" and "jolly good".

10. Jameela Ranjhat (Series 1–3) - a stereotypical Indian housewife from Shimla. When she first joins the class she can barely speak English, and needs Ali to translate her Hindi and Urdu languages. She often calls Mr Brown "Masterjee", and her catchphrase early in the series is "gud hefening" (which is how she pronounces "good evening". During class, she is often found knitting.

11. Ingrid Svenson She is attractive and straightforward about her attraction to Mr Brown, sparking a rivalry between her and Danielle. Her main problem with English is word order, often getting words mixed up, such as "you for I question answer".

12. Zoltán Szabó He has a very basic level of English and requires a phrasebook for everything. He picks up slang quickly, most of which comes from Giovanni and Juan. is typical catchphrase is to say "Bocsánat?" (pronounced "bochanot", the Hungarian word for "sorry" or "excuse me" to everything said to him in English.

I remember in the 80's and how the movies was back then. Black and white tv; video cassettes, and we usually have the problem of the cassettes getting stuck in the video player. Then it graduated to cd plates, and what comes with it is cd plates getting scratched and ruined eventually. Now we can easily download movies from online, save it on our flash and watch on our systems or tv. Wow! Amazing!
We see movies being produced,and here I mean very good movies and I'm always asking myself this question: how do they recover the money spent on producing movies? Check out the latest movies like game of thrones season 5 and the rest for instance. People don't buy cd plates anymore, instead they go and download online.
I really want to know how they make their money? It can't be through cinema viewing, no! That doesn't exclude nigeria own nollywood too.
Can anyone help me out here?

Absolute trust belongs to God alone. You cannot trust someone absolutely, that is suicidal. We are humans. We are not perfect. Hence our own trust has levels. Be it level 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. You can take your pick.

If you can handle whatever you see, then I see no problem

goody1shoe73:
Am telling u 2do something? Don't rate urself highly plz, I don't expect u 2do anythn! All am saying z u should channel ur energies in bringing d attention of doz u thnk can solve d prblm to d plight our system z in curently,rather than upholding one school over another! Those schoolz u pointed to as sterling examplez, wia r dey in best 1000 unis in d world? All am saying broda z itz high tym we stoppd celebrating mediocrity!

unfortunately we are in a country old men don't retire for the youth.

goody1shoe73:
Guy, u dey talk lyk say doz schlz na ur personal properties! We should b much more concerned about improving our educational system and institutions evrywia and not dis constant school battering u guyz engage in here in nairaland.

whose responsibility is that? the battering you read here are plain truths people don't wanna hear. What is imo state government doing about this situation? and here you are telling us to do something. Its not our duty, that is why we have people appointed up there. The bashing will continue until we see changes.

if you are both married its okay. But if you are both single its suicidal.

MzJackBaueress:
I graduated in 2004. Yes that's past tense. As at the last time I visited my faculty in february this year,according to my HOD,there has been massive employment of lecturers. Even those visiting lecturers that do lecture us have stop visiting. They either retired or were made permanent staff.

How on earth can you compare IMSU with UNN and UNIPORT? The former is a state uni while the latter are federal uni. Haba!

Aha! that well explains it. So we can as well not argue.

MzJackBaueress:
so because your cousin an engineering student told you they have visiting lecturers,that means its the same in other faculties?

I was also a student in the engineering and environemental science dept. Yes there are visiting lecturers but not more than half as you claimed.

you were a student, that is past tense. Don't you think the number have increased by now? Anyway you cannot compare imsu with the likes of UNN and UNIPORT, or can you?

MzJackBaueress:
You're very wrong.

Well maybe my cousin is wrong, but i doubt it. For an engineering student to tell me that, i know its true.

MzJackBaueress:
keep quiet! Is IMSU the only school were students are robbed?

Yeye

IMSU is the only school where more than half of their teaching staff are visiting lecturers from nearby universities. am i wrong?

I've never considered IMSU as a school anyway. My gf and her room mates were robbed just last two weeks by two hefty guys who came to their room with weapons.

Crazy useless and bush school.
