Five Scots universities 'in top 200'

I don't think anyone is taking what you say seriously any more. I reckon you're an embarrassment to Scots everywhere, certainly the ones it has been my pleasure to work with have not shown anywhere near as much cretinism as you display.
Now back to work, you'll need to save up for the winter bill for your poky little flat.

Does this take into account the fact that Scottish geniuses moving into England causes the average IQ to drop in both countries?

When I call you a cretin, I'm not calling you "vile names" but merely being descriptive, based on the ample evidence you provide through your posts.

Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; your argument has none but reference. What should we infer about your professional ability?

It was a joke rather than an argument. I have no point to argue in this (I am neither Scottish nor English nor that interested), I am merely tired of so many Scots droning on about how awesome Scotland is and how they should be free etc.

How about you infer that my professional ability is below feeble, would that make you happy? If not please feel free to infer something that does.

Another way of looking at it is that Scotland has 1 university in the top 100 and none in the top 30. Go Scotland!

While London has more universities in the top 40 than any other city in the world, with four.

How is the reader meant to know rhetoric from hyperbole with the written word on here?

Okay, your frustration is not my fault. Absolution will not be found through obvious negative comments, leave that to SAS where he remains unchallenged.

It is partly. You drone on like a human bagpipe sometimes.
