Odds & Ends

Friday seemed to go on forever.  Casterby was back in use despite having had all the lead stolen from its roof earlier in the week.  Pupils were fine but everything seemed to drag.

• One of our more generally loathsome year 11s was clearly in trouble.  He was sat outside of the DH's office looking like he was going to cry.  Obviously no-one told us

I suppose I ought to point out that despite, on this occassion, the object of his attentions being female, that doesn't necessarily imply that he is heterosexual, as opposed to...

Pedantry

Of course. However, if you want to be pedantic, I didn't actually say that he was heterosexual. I merely noted that the behavior was heterosexual.

Actually, you just noted that heterosexuality wasn't dead.

You didn't make it clear whether you considered heterosexuality a constituative quality of the actor or a merely a behavioural description.

precisely. I am not of course suggesting that your chosen deconstruction is wrong merely that it's not necessarily implicit. You know there are people who would think that this conversation was silly. Of course there are people out there who don't conduct parallel, independant conversations using seperate data-streams between the same 2 people.
