With Darling's tax proposals on non-doms, they're hoofing it in a stampede, and who can blame them?

What an unbelievable muppet (or rather puppet - controlled by GB).

Oh - Darling !
If we leave you
You'll - never make it - alone
Believe us - when we tell you
UK PLC - will be - no more

Also a big success of London is due to the attraction of the most brilliant people on the planet.

Me.

But you'll have to pay me shedloads before I give you an answer.

Fair?

Fair enough. I might just rely on my own degree and brain though.

Bog off.

Ok I'll bite. Who is that again?

Umm you actually. You feel the need to qualify your economic statements by informing us how much time you spent studying, and what grades you got.

I merely mentioned my degree was pretty good when it came to macroeconomical studies, here is what you said:

And unlike you we don't assume that having sat through a few lectures qualifies you as an expert, otherwise my higher in economics and two years of optional economics at uni would make me one ...

I'd be more inclined to listen if you didn't regularly come out with economic howlers.

This made me post detailed information about the main degree that I had so that degree of me studying macroeconomics and related disciplines becomes clear.

this boards resident economics expert.

I don't have an inferiority complex. If I did I'd be hiding my degree modules names, hours and grades - if anything I am not feeling inferior because I publicly disclosed this information where as noone else dares to do the same, so who is inferior here?

Umm you actually. You feel the need to qualify your economic statements by informing us how much time you spent studying, and what grades you got.

Most people would just suffice by giving their opinion - you seem to think a few lectures in a Russian uni a decade or so ago makes you more qualified than anyone else and this boards resident economics expert.

I'm pretty certain everyone here would disagree.

Oh Dear!
So tell us what the view is up your backside, atw?

[bogeyman]

And what was the title of your degree then? I don't recall you saying even if you had it at all, and if you did then in what field - not suprising your are not prepared to disclose modules with hours and grades that you had. Clearly you are not proud of your work in the Uni, or maybe you simply did not have it at all.

Dear Mr AtW,

Thank you for your attempt at integrating with the 'British Way of Life(tm)' but I regretfully have to inform you that: YOU FAIL.

People in Britain are a happy and cheerful band, who feel no need to parade our dubious educational qualifications at the 'drop of a hat' - and yes, Mr. Atw - I do realise that I have not actually dropped my hat! That that's what us quirky old us Brits call a 'figure of speech' - you'll get the hang of it, one day.

I have forwarded your case notes to the Ministry of Humourless Barstards Who Just Don't Get It (HBWJDGI) who will be writing to you shortly.

Have a wonderful time in our country! I'm sure once you 'get it', your enjoyment will be magnified tenfold.

Yours eternally,

B Mann esq.

AtW - you either graduated last year or you've got some kind of inferiority complex.

AtW - you either graduated last year or you've got some kind of inferiority complex. I don't think I know anyone my age who could list any mark they got in their degree beyond what their honours result was ... I can't even remember most of the modules ffs. Who actually goes to the bother of saving & listing them on a forum ... as if that proves anything.

[Francko]

What are you going to say when SKA comes along nicely and you won't be able to hide behind this irrelevant to current discussion issue?

I don't believe you can make a decent SKA. What type of degree do you have in booking engines?

[sasguru]

Nah, you're lecturing us on macroeconomical issues, we're all just taking the piss; not a hard job given how easily you set yourself up.

I could just imagine the financial world according to AtW's model, think the phrase would AtW fiddles while Rome burns ...

Quite. If he had a brain he'd be dangerous.

[snaw]

We are talking about macroeconomical issues in this thread. Is your job in any way related to that? Did your education include substantial elements of these issues?
