Michael Schaub asked a question a little while ago that I thought I'd answer, in case he really wants to know:
I wonder if anyone reads P.G. Wodehouse any longer? Apart from weirdos like me, that is.
The answer is yes, and what does he mean, 'weirdos'?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Me too, and - live with it, BadAunt.
I can't get my head around it but Surrealo Son loves it.
Never had a hankerin' for Wodehouse myself but I know some who have!
I do. Of course, that probably confirms his assertion about weirdos.
I've read heaps of Wodehouse - even gave one to my dad for his birthday, because he thinks he's hilarious too. Especially the ones about Jeeves and Wooster. Too funny! And I prefer to think of my reading habits as... eclectic. ;-)
