Unbelievable!
Obviously GABA have no brainwaves in advertising.
How demoralising for the staff (and students).
Sounds more like an ad for a 1-800-HELP line.
Stupid tossers!
Don’t be surprised though if some gaijin nitwit thought this up though!

Btw, not the best of keitai photos so probably difficult to read. It says “Ima, watashi no hanashi o isshun kiite kureru no wa gaba no sensei kamoshirenai”, which can be less than directly translated as “Only my Gaba teacher will take a moment to listen to what I have to say/ what has happened to me”

Thanks for the Slickr tip, will look into it (or at least get someone technical to look into it for me). Great name, “slickr”!

ha ha yeah Flickr is good for blog use, there’s also a great plugin for WP called Slickr which will let you add any of your flickr photos (or photos from flickr) with a simple click of a button from the posting page. I can sned you the links if you’re interested or just google slickr plugin.

As for Gabba, when someone told me how they taught and that it was all one to one i had a slight shock. then saw an advert and realised there is definitely worse out there.

Yeah I’m definitely not interested in that either.

Why not set up a flickr or photobucket account for your image hosting. Easy to do and linking is just a matter of copying and pasting.
