"Standing on your mother's corpse you told me that you'd wait forever." [Bryan Adams: Summer of 69]
Ah... I was actually surprised when I met JR, as I'd thought (from the mature way he wrote) that he was much older than 23...Originally Posted by MikeL

Or maybe not...

Interesting! Must admit that I studied for a BA in History (with Philosophy and Education papers), and I agree that it's an under rated qualification (and yes I went to a private school for some of my education). It's not geared towards any career but it does show you how to critically analyse information, understand how stats and information can be used and abused, and hopefully leave you with a reasonable amount of cynicism.Originally Posted by SPman
It always amazes me how many people just accept whatever is presented to them in the papers or on the TV. PC is the result of lazy thinking.
Just remember though that sometimes there isn't a conspiracy, things just happen.
Hope that you are all maintaining a suitable level of sanity.

I don't look the part, eh? Aha.Originally Posted by firestormer
That'd be why you stood at the bar looking at me, the only geared and helmeted-up person in the room, all funny-like out the corner of your eye for five minutes before sidling up and slipping me the Secret KB Handshake as I picked up a newspaper.
I think I might have to grow a beard.

I reckon I've surprised a few KBers....
And I have a small goatee too...

Tut tut, Mike, you didn't read the thread, eh? I'm a proper lower-middle-class Kiwi. Mt Albert Primary for the first six years, giving lip to, and getting beaten up in turn by, most of the rest of the school on a regular basis. Balmoral Intermediate for next two years, where I played a lot of AD&D. Then I home-schooled my way through high school instead of fulfilling my destiny and attending Mt Albert Grammar.Originally Posted by MikeL
No silver spoons there, I'm afraid.

We can be the Stealth Toffs. We could have our own comic book series! 'Jaffa Splendour', perhaps?Originally Posted by Posh Tourer :P
Our superpower can be hiding in the corner of a bar looking scruffy, emerging only when tipsy, garrulous evildoers need to be defeated by convoluted argument and the cold, harsh light of well-educated opinion.

The result was most horrid
All bum and no forehead
Three balls and a purple goatee

Great idea! Need to work on the comic book name though, it sounds like a new variety of cammellia!Originally Posted by jrandom

Well, actually, I did read the thread, but that was quite some time ago, and it's a bit much to expect old buggers like me to remember something that they might have done a couple of weeks ago. Now, if this Alzheimers wasn't such a useful excuse in other areas, I might be tempted to do something about it...Originally Posted by jrandom
But at least I was right in assuming that you are not a standardized, homogenized, correctly-labelled but underfilled product of our educational factories.

I had to Google those, you sod. Well done.Originally Posted by Hitcher
I do so like that battle cry, too. Rather appropriate to the Scottish Thread, don't you think?
