WHAT THE HELL....GO FOR IT!

It's obviously that time of year again when all the would-be dissertation and essay writers start their scatter-gun spamming. (Should I have written these words, they can be tracked...oh dear, what the hell... Go for it!) These self-appointed writers flatter your blog in about half a sentence - I doubt they read it - and if they are really into brevity, they can flatter in three words! 

The the self-styled writers who try to dump their spam on me, do not seem to promote thesis production. Perhaps a thesis could be too challenging. Do any of them offer scientific writing including all the formulae? I don't believe this lot have the specialist skills for anything quite so esoteric. I would think that anyone wanting assistance in producing work at such levels, already has tried and trusted sources they use.

At least the wannabe who fired off the latest offer of work could write in regular English language, there were not any spelling errors, all of which leads me to be a bit more hopeful that the English language in its many interesting forms of daily use and practice, is alive, though, it is not always well.

ADMIRE BUT NEVER TOUCH.

I have to admit that I have not seen the written word relating to this matter. I did spend two or three hours scouring newspapers this morning, obviously not the specific one that this issue emanates from.

A Chancellor of a private university is said to have waxed lyrical about how male tutors should conduct their flights of fancy and their urges in relation to the curvaceous, nubile, female student population. In brief, they should admire, fantasise, but never touch.

This man has been exceptionally naive to have got himself into a position where he can be ridiculed and taken to task for the frivolous manner in which he is said to have couched his thoughts. Universities these days, cannot afford to risk being compromised, nor can they risk their academic reputations.

On the other hand, could this very senior academic have opened up a can of worms, leading to more open discussion of taboo subject matter?

That said, one prominent married academic from one of the leading establishments in the UK, was incontrovertibly linked with a female student and lost his post. However, another university with a quite a prestigious reputation snapped up his expertise in his area of study (not in student relations) and the academic's career continues.
