Anyone applied to study at Harvard Uni?

[TheFaQQer]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But forty years ago, or whenever, it wasn't what it may have become today. And if someone practically barefoot as a kid can make it onto the town council, that's something to be proud of.

40 years ago, it was still a s**thole.

Just not as big a s**thole as it is these days.

Come happy bombs, come and drop on Slough

I wrote a letter to Marconi Electronics when I was a kid, about 9, and years later I worked with the guy who replied.

Which is nice.

When I was about 6, I wrote a letter to Santa offering help with packing the toys in exchange for a brand new bike, but the fat fecker ignored me...

Well it's first-come, first-served! Tough!

I sent my letter up the chimney and next thing I know I was in Greenland packing up stuff 24x7 for months, with a bunch on miserable elves who wanted to bum me.

Think yourself lucky!

I had a similar experience with Jim'll Fix it - scarred for life

No, I've never applied. I do have a funky job at the moment and earn a bucket load from it.

Then again the person that I know who is worth the most is illeterate and runs a scrap yard.

Your point is?

Charlie Richardson ran a few scrap yards in South East London and was loaded. Then he was sent down for 25 years along with Mad Frankie Fraser for torture. Shame, could have been the 60's Richard Branson.
