Yes but you would be hard pushed to find anybody actually taking some or the rubbish spouted on here seriously.

The banter which gets banded about on here I would put down at the 'blokes in a pub level'.

Starting at around 4 pints and quickly sinking to tequila slammer time.

"Only reason you get invited to the parties is for the joke factor."

Or to drive everybody home.

You may or may not have a first in your degree, but you have not mastered the art of getting on with people, something you will need if you are ever going to get a second contract. Social skills are a very important part of contracting.

Everybody has their opinions - some choose to voice theirs more loudly than others. The problem is, the way you come accross with your few posts is something of a tosser, maybe it is a maturity thing - are you andyW by chance?

As far as the racism and homophobic comments, care to point a few out? The banter which gets banded about on here I would put down at the 'blokes in a pub level'. If you can't take it then there are other forumns out there for you.

Nothing scary at all.

Just my feeble attempt at humour - Yeah, I know, keep practising!
