English Without End

Hi, everyone. Your lovely teacher, together with other EOI Alcalá teachers, takes part in a Grundtvig Project called S EA: Stories of European Adults . This project focuses on storytelling (I'll tell you all the particulars after Christmas) and it will enable you, my dear, dear students, to communicate with other students of English from Czech Republic, Denmark and Finland (our European associates). Tomorrow, before our Christmas celebration party (so please, don't be late), I'll give you all the details about your username and password to enter WIGGIO ( www.wiggio.com ).  Wiggio allows group members to share and edit files, manage a group calendar, poll your group, post links, set up conference calls, chat online and send mass text, voice and email messages. Each group member can define how they want to keep informed of group activity. Wiggio groups are private groups used solely for personal, academic , extracurricular, commercial, political, or charitable purposes ....

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID   ("Dos hombres y un destino" in Spanish) Do you remember the scene in which Paul Newman and Fay Dunaway are sharing a bike with herself on the crossbar and Newman steering? Absolutely lovely! Raindrops keep falling on my head  And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed  Nothin' seems to fit  Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling  So I just did me some talkin' to the sun  And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done  Sleepin' on the job  Those raindrops are falling on my, head they keep falling  But there's one thing I know  The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me  It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me   Raindrops keep falling on my head  But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red  Crying's not for me  Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'...

After Patrick shows up at Sally's apartment to "save" her from an imaginary spider at three in the morning, they both remember how they first met at a Susan's office party. Their versions differ slightly, as Sally's memory ends with her in Patrick's arms and Patrick's memory ending with a drunk Sally and him kissing to the Spiderman theme. At the end, Sally and Patrick decide to stop spending so much time together, as nothing will come of it. (Sorry about the subtitles) Coupling post on Nov. 2009
