Can you "do" Maths?

[Lucy]

True. But counting doesn't qualify as maths. And I went to school in a pre-chav (as we know them) world. And I have yet to meet a mathematical pleb. If they were one first, the maths cures them.

Just makes you an intellectually spoiled geek.

I'm sorry you're so hard of thinking and can't deal with complicated concepts. Not all of us are gifted.

I'm sorry you're so hard of thinking.

Oh! No! Now you are quoting Bagpuss.

No. That's right, nothing I've ever argued on here would indicate I can understand anything complicated. I think I should be more like you and hurl insults and be a bully.

BTW you did go to chavschool

Is this our dear old maddog?

Perhaps we could all make an effort to reverse this. Next time someone proudly says "I'm bad at maths" respond with a cheery "Well you don't seem that thick, perhaps you should work on that a bit." Either that or sell them a loan.

"Hard of <<insert whatever>>" did not to originate with Bagpuss. Seems like you also have a problem with language.

Oh yes, you must be right. You are so clever.

Now i'm not that quick at mental arithmetic under pressure but I can "do" maths!

Thanks, I know.

I see the usual debate has been resumed...

Sorry, what was the question?

[cailin maith]

I did hate maths - I was sh*te at it.

Plus (no pun intended) the Maths teacher smelt equally of whiskey and mothballs

And to make it worse my parents realised I was thick and made me have maths grinds with her....... a very tortourous summer...
