The truth regulator Apr 16, 5:25 am That’s a huge blow to this blog. A great victory for Scotty Boy though. Ratna is gone- hahahaha!!!! Cameron deserved to go. Chris deserved to go. The 5 teachers Luke got fired at Dipati Ukur in 2002 deserved to go. Minnie deserved to go. According to “Michelle” she…
Someone called ‘Tudor’ who claims never to have worked for TBI has posted hundreds of times on both Dave’s ESL Cafe and the Living in Indonesia Forum, mostly about TBI (including on threads where he abuses us and claims to know whether we have jobs!) This Dave’s ESL hog has not missed a chance to…
Tudor Member Join Date Apr 2011 Posts 234 As Lantern says, TBI’s CELTA course has a decent reputation.

And yes, people probably could tell you why you should look for advice on here, but they probably won’t bother as all you’ll…
