It's well known that Mensans are a bunch of misfits
I think they have a "special" test just for "members"

didn't they let you join then Sassy?

[Gibbon]

Just as pretentious as ever, eh?

Absolutely, can't let standards slip!

[sasguru]

There's a song about you:

A punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?

When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat


I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"


A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things


I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...

You're right, "charming" is the word most often used to describe me.

By whom? Jealous project managers terrified of a life in the highlands?

Please Dont

I have a fantastic idea, that I have gleaned from reading CUK.
Lets give everyone in the country (immigrant or not) an IQ test. Anyone under 115, the minimum needed for a modern society, IMO, will be forcibly moved to Wales and Scotland (we don't have to kill them, we're not Nazis after all).
In the unlikely event that people currently living in Wales and Scotland pass the test, we can move them into England.
No free movement - the "new" Welsh and Scottish can come on visas - we'll need a certain amount for household staff.

This way we can isolate cretins, morons, fundamentalist zealots, thickos, idiots, ignoramuses and so on in one place and pay them a stipend for their booze and fags (they don't need t'internet), while not having to deal with them in real life.

It's the only humane option .

You're almost on to something here, but I think it would be better to rank everyone by intelligence instead. We could use Greek letters perhaps, alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon. The lower the rank, the more menial the job they get, while the higher ranks can become statistics gurus, world controllers etc.

Perhaps something a bit more like an ant colony would work.

you earn over £676,000 a year? That surprises me.

Whoosh. Missing the point again.
Yes you are definitely for the Orkneys

And? You sure you scored more than 115 on that test?

Never mind all that. Just remove all warning signs and safety features and let natural selection do the job.

We lived without all that a century ago and it didn't work.
