How long did it take you to prepare for talks or parts in the KM school?

by OneDayillBeFree in

several years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.

of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.

i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.

Prefect

Not long.

I used to get my wife to write the talk for me.

She is a lot cleverer than I am.

I agree but British train manufactures have been closed down or sold off to foreign countries.

The rail systym has been privatised and the goverment cannot even get the tendering franchise right.

The last tender a couple of months ago for the West Coast main line was carried out wrongly and had to be scrapped costing the goverment

15 million pounds.

It is going to be rerun at even more expense.

The UK needs a better more efficent rail systym.

It would be great to see a modern service benefiting the rail traving public.

In the mean time other nationalities are investing in the railways and have a service to be proud of.

GREAT BRITAIN invented the railways and that is about as far as it went.

We have one of the worst unrealiabe overcrowded systyms in the world.

Whenever the goverment decide to make a new high speed line all the tree huggers come out of the woodwork and put a stop to it.

You are right. Here in the UK we have been getting them for years. I used to tell them to P*** O**.

They still kept calling. So now when they call I ask them to hang on for a minute then place the phone in front of the Television and let them listen to that. I

replace the hand set after half an hour.

I do not know how long they listen. But I find it is satsifying to do that.
