AnnieP Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 OK: As we are all fed up with today's society and the general decay of manners/lawfulness of our youth, I am proposing that we strive to seek out a suitable island (preferably somewhere fairly temporate), where we can start our own Omlet Commune. Please will you sign up for this if you are interested, and let us know what skills you have to offer. (by the way, this is a joke thread for anyone who is not sure ) I will start by offering my services to set up and run a school. OH (he doesn't know it yet), can be a carpenter for us all.

Martin B Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can offer creative writing And R.E. There my two strong subjects, but I think revnev will overule me on the R.E subject. I can teach manners, lol, I can make coffee, I dunno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I will come as well I don't really know what I can offer I can cook, knit and sew so I am a reasonable housekeeper maybe I also know how to deliver lambs, calfs and pigs so I could help out on the comune farm which of course has to be run by Lesley and Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I would like to volunteer to be a TA in your school AnnieP. I am also pretty practical and will be happy to join in with building runs/pens for the livestock. Put me down for helping in the vegetable garden and the kitchen - I love cooking!! I might have to leave the cake/scone-baking to other more worthy people though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusannenoZ Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'll come too, I could man the sick bay, and could knit socks for everyone if the Island was in a cold climate, rather than a tropical island! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 you can do the RE Martin (though, I'm not the only vicar on this forum) I'll run the Spider protection league and the nightly cat-watch patrols - we'd need to keep them out at all costs.... also - every village needs an idiot - I'll volunteer for that too...

Guest Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can teach RE and Music. I'm happy to run a choir asnd orchestra and provide music for all occasions e.g. the weddings following all the budding romances (!) I'm no good at cleaning! OH can play organ and piano as required. He is an excellent project manager and will keep the commune running efficiently. Children can provide the general mayhem, worries and laughs which make up the rich tapestry of our lives!
