    Yup and it firmly trumps a graduate degree (most postgrad ones for that matter).

      What about higher degrees?
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Don't tell Minestrone. He'll only throw one of his attention seeking fits - again.

                      Churchill, can you press the button please.
                      I voted No!

                      I have a couple of C&G's if that's any help

                      But then again, I'm reasonably well off, own several properties and have a reasonably good income. I can easily afford to retire now if I wanted to (and could stand the boredom)

                      People with degrees come to me for advice, and pay me ridiculous (obscene) amounts of money to tell them how to do their job, so I don't see the point in going out and getting one really
