There's a BEng in Pyramid Building.

There are pyramids in my head
There’s one underneath my bed
And my lady’s getting cranky
Every possible location
Has a simple explanation
And it isn’t hanky-panky

I had read
Somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and your wine
It said, that everything you grow in your garden would taste pretty fine
Instead, all I ever get is a pain in the neck and a
Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap

I’ve consulted all the sages
I could find in the yellow pages
But there aren’t many of them
And the myan panoramas
On my pyramid pajamas
Haven’t helped my little problem
I’ve been told
Someone in the know can be sure that his luck is as
Good as gold, money in the bank and you don’t even pay for it
If you fold, a dollar bill in the shape of the pyramid that’s printed on the
Back
It’s no lie
You can keep the edge of a razor as sharp as an
Eagle’s eye, you can grow a hedge that is vertically straight over
Ten feet high, all you really need is a pyramid and just a little luck
I had read, somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and wine
I’d been told, someone in the know can be sure of his good luck
It’s no lie, all you need is a little bit of pyramidic help

Don't knock it. Vocational courses are the only thing available to a lot of young folk now universities are only for clever (and fairly well off) people.*

A distant relation of mine recently did a 'Working with Communities' HNC. (******' lefty twat).

Anyways, they had a 'proper' graduation ceremony, and I swear to christ, there were people there 'graduating' from courses such as 'street theatre', 'childrens puppetry' and 'modern street dance'.

Was waiting for the BSc in 'Ancient Egyptian Footwear' to get awarded.

Is there even a course to study Mickey Mouse? Probably.

[fullyautomatix]

Because of Labour's stupidity there are now courses on how to use Facebook, how to Twitter etc etc.

Students no longer study a subject because they are interested in it or that it is useful for a good careers. They all go for a subject that borders on "stupid" which is easy to study and get a job in a council.

Indeed.

And they're taking an inordinate amount of time to get fusion going properly, not to mention dilithium, so I won't mention it.

******* free-energy gravy train!

Only clever lazy people.

Hard working thick people are useful for all sorts of menial tasks.
Lazy thick people are useless.
Lazy clever people create great things to take work off their hands, like the seed drill, the computer, the internal combustion engine and other labour saving devices. In doing so they advance the human condition.
Hard working clever people are downright bloody dangerous.

Ah, the Prussian military recruitment axioms

[Mich the Tester]

Universities should only have ever been for clever people, not half the workshy bastards who currently frequent their hallowed halls!

In this particular case it would be better to just change the stupid 'elf and safety' regulations, seeing as a basic qualification in hairdressing is more likely than a degree in meejah studies to get someone a job .

Sorry for that little sensible moment; should I return to the usual CUK flippance mode?

Mods! Mods! Ban this account. Michs 5 year old nephew has guessed his password.

For example an NVQ level 2 in hairdressing is worth the equivalent of six GCSEs, but students never cut hair because health and safety regulations ban the use of scissors.

We don't need no!

Face it Dimprawn, you're just another brick in a wall.

Brilliant!

This is the future for Britain.
