^But being rich makes the misery so much more comfortable.
(I'm not rich)
Memock is probably the richest. And he can't even spell properly.
^ No shame in that...methinks...:)
I reckon my uni schooling taught me to speed read and discourse better on what I read. That piece of paper saying I graduated with honours also helped me (and a friend who copied it and put his name on it without my knowledge) get good jobs in journalism and in banking, but I had to work my butt off to pass investment rep exams. Education is good, but it doesn't equate to common sense.
IMO experience beats education 2/1. No more, no less.
Safe bet that stuff. Enjoy :).Quote:

And the funny thing is that I got all the diplomas, in the 4 month I have spend on TD....:)

I won a regional cooking competition while I was in school. Does that count for anything? Didn't get a certificate though. :(
I forgot to say that I was a high school drop-out (twice) and never graduated. Then I did art design college. (graduated) Then I did uni. Wrote the entrance exams and they decided I should be an international lawyer. 555
I took an English A level in prison - I got a B.
That's it.
I'm quite chuffed with it.

The book was by Enid Blyton and was something to do with kids living on a farm during the holidays.
^You lied about your age though, the competition was for 8 year olds, you was 28 at the time :)
:shhh:
^was that the Famous 5? If so, I loved the books!
As for NR, this is TD, who gives (a ff) on cooking, what we need to know is your gardening skills.
Wasn't famous five, though I also read those. I reckon it must have been like a practice kiddies novel she wrote. It was about some Pommy kids getting their jollies rolling in the hay and playing with barnyard animals.
Inspired by CMN's own youthful antics perchance?
One of my most treasured books is the Noddy annual my Mum brought me for my 21st.Quote:
