The amortized price per hour of appearing on one of the Deck's 50 sites is approximately $7.

She did a search for printable coupons online, and to my surprise she found some Greek lesson coupons for target stores. She printed ten coupons and got ten lessons practically free ... (lol) . Why can't us men think of these things ? Lol

Nah, when I visit Greek I'll stay with my awesome Greek/NZ friend who speaks fluent Greek (and English and Italian) so she'll translate (and take me to the best restaurants, because damn if Cretan food isn't fantastic if you stay away from the identikit places with English menus around the harbour). So basically this isn't a thing, for me. Except now it's given me a jones for food I can't eat. Which sucks.
£12/hour does seem quite reasonably though. I paid that much for small-group Spanish classes.

This is like the myht of the cave at emptor, when herecules was going to Emptor to buy some grapes but he could not find the market so he asked the old man in the town "where is the makret?" and the old man laughed and said, "it is in the cave but do not trust the merchants there" and hercules was like whatever old man i am hercules. so the market was in the cave and hje went into the cave. but the old man was right and the merchants there were bad, and lied about what they're grapes and hercules was buying grapes and the grapes were spoiled but the merchants said they were good grapes but they were not and the price was four gold but it was really eight so when hercules ran his credit card the grapes were bought for too much and the grapes were rotten by the time he got home and his wife said "hercules, why these grapes rotten" and hercules said "they are not rotten they are perfect the merchant man said that they were good and the price was a steal only five gold" and the wife looked at the receipt and said "but he charged you ten gold" ten gold hercules said "that is too much!" and he got so angry his eyes were red and he marched back to the cave at emptor and shouted s to the merchants in the market "you charged me too much" and he was smashing everything with his sword but until then zeus came down and said "no no no hercules! you must stop" and hercules said why not and Zeus said" because this is the cave at emptor, it is your fault you bought their goods, it is a crooked maket and you were told that by me" and hercules was shocked and said "you were the old man?" and zeus was the old man and then they left.
now whenever you buy something and it isn't any good it is like you were shopping at the cave at emptor.

The idea for his entree of pork belly baklava came to chef David Tsirekas in a dream, the layering of meat and fat echoing pastry and nuts in the traditional incarnation. And what better way to up the indulgence factor of baklava than adding this succulent cut of meat? The belly is steamed, vinegar-soaked, roasted, sliced then layered with mustard, date puree, pistachios and pastry, the labour involved being well rewarded. Salty tiles of crackling on top work nicely with the sweetness of the dates, the whole dish served with a light date and mastic sauce.

The decent whack is simple. You tell your assistant what you need. When they say they've finished, you give them a decent what on the head, and they realize they should have prepared more.
