Don’t Call Me Ska Face

Listening to Ska – and lots of it! It may be today when I reach the point when there is nothing more I want to say on anything. Probably not though. Thought you might like a picture of a fat plane.

My daughter is now learning silent maths, which involves numbers and symbols made with fingers. Maybe we could extend this into silent differential calculus or silent systems analysis. Sign language is big in our house at the moment because of Something Special on CBeebies, which is fronted by the voice of Tweeny Jake, Justin Fletcher. (I can’t quite believe it because he doesn’t have the hair). Quite a few people in offices I have worked in knew sign language for various reasons including Martin’s nemesis. I used this as reason for her rehabilitation but he won’t have it and just mentions that he knows SL anyway. He didn’t know the sign for cat though. (Make whiskers on your top lip with the first two fingers of each hand). Surely there must be the mathematicians sub-set of sign language, with proper signs for root, delta etc. If there isn’t, someone should invent it though it might look dangerously like the Cheese Impressions from Men Behaving Badly.
