“What are you up to next (insert whatever day)??”
Tell me what you want and then I’ll tell you whether I’m free or not.
My friend does this to me all the time and I always think it’s because she wants to hang out but it’s quite often because she wants me to do something for her. Haha!!
“So what do you want to talk about?”
i still laugh whenever i think about my friend getting asked to a staff party
“sorry i can’t make it… when is it?”
“We’ve left your parcel in a safe place”
“Hendon 0…”
“Let’s stick a pin in that and take it off-line”
“Get into pairs”

“0930 - 1015: Ice-breaker”

I actually want to hear from the people who don’t find either of these things daunting. So come on guys: who here is/was happy to be forced to have a group or paired discussion at school or in work? I want to understand how this isn’t universally disliked.
I think I’m right in that you know the ending on University Challenge… they film that before they film the actual quiz. They definitely used to.
I have no idea why.
“Role play” and “icebreaker”
Tell me what you want and then I’ll tell you whether I’m free or not.
