Words we should use more often but don't.

Modesty obviously sits well with you...

All very superfluous really, don't you think what!?

Oh yes of course they are!, extremely technically advanced they is

With that much sun shining out of your arse I'm not surprised.....

Some KBers have recidivist tendencies when it comes to speeding

Dunno.

I spent six years studying Earth Sciences, majoring in geology, sedimentology and Quaternary studies (with lotsa Chemistry). Since then I've worked on a farm, in the dairy industry, and in the computer software industry. Oh - and I had a coupla years as a house husband / painter / programmer / plasterer / dog walker / kitchen builder.
So, I'll see your penecontemporaneous sinful-sedimentary crapola, and raise you a phreatomagmatic pyroclastic pseudobollix.

...which leads to many protestations of inculpability!

Golly, it's a wonder we didn't run into each other somewhere along the line! Or maybe we did....? Where did you study? Waikato, me.

I've worked in environmental consulting and in an environmental regulatory capacity, but aside from that, my degree's not been used much. You don't need a master's degree to teach year 10 science! A friend who did her masters with me has been very successful in the field of IT project management!

Anyhoo, I'll see your phreatomagmatic pyroclastic pseudobollix (my thesis was in volcanic geology!), and raise you some intra-subglacial basaltic volcanism!
