he can pretend all he wants, he got a paid for education as a tax dodge and never made it to uni. You have to be a real thicko not to get into uni with private education.

At least Churchill has an excuse with his comprehensive education,

See, again with failing to digest the information presented. I got the grades to get into Uni. I chose not to go.

Sheesh, you really don't get the hang of this discussion lark do you.

Read the post, he said he chose not to go to Uni. It's not everyones cup of tea and not everyone who has private education automatically wants to go to Uni.

The vegetarian option.

"BEng Hons, Bsc, Msc, a really over-priced chair and a chip the size of Wales"

FTFY.

"What can I bring? Are you serious?? Look at this chair! LOOK AT IT!!"

You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

You are still getting diddled if you are paying £5,500 for it.

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

I would like to request a little bit of variety in the insults bandied about by minestrone.

'You're a thicko' and 'I'm off to buy a chair' aren't as captivating after the 18th time.

Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

It's okay Maths isn't his strong point.

Minestrone,
just as a point of interest, in what year(s) did you gain these Degrees/Doctorates?
Are we talking in the 80s, 90s, or Noughties? Or even all three decades?
