A drop in the ocean: No weed pass to foreigners

The conservative Dutch government is to prohibit foreigners from buying cannabis in coffee shops.

For more details watch this video.






And some questions to help you understand the story:

• Why is the Dutch government against foreigners' visit to coffee shops?
• Under what circumstances can locals visit coffee shops if the bill is passed in the parliament?
• What's the opinion of the coffee shop owners?
• Who are the exceptions to the restriction?
• Does the EU legal framework enable this type of discrimination?

Spread the word: Attention in focus

Women are supposed to be more capable of concentrating on more things simultaneously than men. I'm an exception that proves the rule. In case of parallel activities, I'm always distracted and making mistakes. I prefer paying attention to a single task and only when I've completed it I start dealing with the next one.

And what about you? Do you find it easy to listen to the radio, brush your teeth and think over your daily schedule at the same time? Can you keep your eye on the ball while working and resist the temptation of your friends' Facebook posts?

Laugh a minute: Physicist or physician

Since most of my students mix up the two physi-terms in the title, I've had to make this post.

At the physics exam: 'Describe the universe in 200 words and give three examples.' :)

Who came up with this test question?
The physicist or the physician?

A drop in the ocean: Anna and The Barbies: After hours

Find the lyrics below.

verse1:
sitting in the corner bar I wonder
how come your face is getting longer
crawls like its shadow on the wall.
days go by and then seasons change,
and way before you know
tomorrow will be yesterday.




bridge:
you tend to listen, instead of dancing,
love steady and drop the romancing,
and hell – you ain’t too well…
after a sunstroke, you don’t mind the cold
colours fade and as days grow old
you’re called, where all is gold…

refr.:
like a fish caught on dry land
like a rabbit from a gun, you’ve been on the run
you’re fighting for the days to come
before today is done – oh no I’m the one…

verse2:
you’ve lost another year,
and planned the next one,
but all the best laid plans come undone,
fall like they never were at all.
the cracks are showing but you don’t care,
‘cause anywhere the bus is headed
you've already been there.

bridge:
you tend to listen, instead of dancing…

refr.:
like a fish caught on dry land...

rap: (it's in Hungarian)
jó néha sötétben a Holdat nézni,
hosszan egy távoli csillagot igézni,
jó néha fázni, a semmin elmélázni,
tavaszi esőben olykor bőrig ázni,
tele szájjal enni, hangosan szeretni,
jó néha magamat csak úgy elnevetni,
sírni ha fáj, remegni ha félek,
olyan jó néha érezni, hogy ÉLEK.

refr.:
like a fish caught on dry land..


WALK and listen.

Spread the word: WIND UP

Look at the following sentences. Can you find out the different meanings of WIND UP?

Due to the economic situation and strong competition from other producers in the UK and Europe, the board and Highland Council have taken the decision to wind up the company.

When the job came through my first thought was, this is a wind-up, but I arrived at the field to find the cow looking confused but surprisingly calm despite having his head wedged tightly in between the rungs of the ladder.

The danger for the Northern Ireland Executive is that it over-negotiates and winds up with nothing.

To err is human,
