A quick favour

theguywithnousername [Edit] [Delete] 30 replies 21:26, 1 October '12

Can someone take a quick look at the PDF linked to on this page and tell me what on Earth the picture for X is supposed to be? I'm pretty sure it's something obvious and I'm being an idiot so I may regret this thread...

    • I was going to say a hat in a box.

      Definitely something in a box.

    • Xebu in a box

      -dan- @SenorDingDong | 1 Oct '12, 21:31 | X
    • Fuck - I reckon it might be. Really hope it isn't 'cos that'd confuse the crap out of my students.

      Why have one that ends with x if the others all start with the letter? Couldn't they just use an x-ray or something? :(

      • needs updating like

        kids these days are going to be confused by that and not know what it is. It's like that game where you ran down the street with the circular piece of metal keeping it going with a stick.

        • They still do that in Liverpool

          Just with hubcaps.

          -dan- @mug_mug_mug | 1 Oct '12, 21:36 | X
  • Is it, in the time-honoured fashion of using words that end with X,

    not just a box?

    -dan- | 1 Oct '12, 21:29 | X
    • I'm more worried about the G tbh

      What age is this for??

      -dan- @-dan- | 1 Oct '12, 21:30 | X
      • Adults who don't speak English.

        I'd prefer it if they had less cartoon-ish drawings though.

        • Make your own

          • I often do. But I've only got a finite amount of preparation time each week and I usually do way more prep. than I'm paid for

            so it's quite nice when I can find something ready to use online...

            • Just steal one off google images then

        • or MORE cartoonish

          i'm talking about Professor X-avier of course

          mug_mug_mug @theguywithnousername | 1 Oct '12, 21:34 | X
  • It's clearly a portable X-ray machine

    'B' is a Brussels sprout.

    •  "I" is Inuit's abode

       "P" is poo with stinklines.

  • That is ridiculous.

    The only thing that I can think of is some kind of liquor that begins with x?

    What a silly choice of object.

    LOLpop | 1 Oct '12, 21:52 | X
    • Let's list some that would be better

      Xenophobe
      Xylocarp
      Xuanhuaceratops
      Xylopolist
      Xebec
      Xystarch
      Xerxes I
      Xerxes II
      Xanthoderm
      Xtina Aguilera
      Xanadu

      -dan- @LOLpop | 1 Oct '12, 22:01 | X
      • And there's always X-ray, of course.

        LOLpop @-dan- | 1 Oct '12, 22:05 | X
        • And xylopwn

          -dan- @LOLpop | 1 Oct '12, 22:07 | X
      • Xenomorph

        soapy @-dan- | 1 Oct '12, 22:09 | X
  • Cant you just swap it with some clip art of an x-ray or something?

    Does it have to be this exact pdf?

    LOLpop | 1 Oct '12, 21:53 | X
    • In an ideal world I could.

      At the moment I'm without regular access to a printer and materials and have to spend tomorrow afternoon - this bit's for Wednesday - I've a load of stuff for tomorrow I'm really hoping I'll find I'll be able to do in the morning - pissing about with an irrelevant pre-employment Occupational Health assessment made even more ridiculous than it usually would be by the fact that, unknown to HR, I started three weeks ago...

      theguywithnousername @LOLpop | 1 Oct '12, 22:08 | X
  • By the way...

    ...did you submit a fan wall on the Only Connect website? Chap with the same name as you has, you're into your quizzing, it made reference to your football team etc. etc.

    GetOffMyLawn | 1 Oct '12, 22:04 | X
    • I did. Well spotted! I meant to be post a thread on DiS but forgot...

      theguywithnousername @GetOffMyLawn | 1 Oct '12, 22:06 | X
      • Ah thought it might have been!

        I got 10/10 on it. Just so you know.
