We prefer to think that their thinking is revolting at times.... too much thinking and too little reality ... too much ego invested in an erroneous blind canyon and they will defend to the last ditch... I've known a few of them....

Comment went through just today about graduates who are unemployable.... amazing stuff... the Maori in the family has a degree and he finds it hard to get jobs - but NZ is a tough market at the best of times.

Grappler does a lot of professing without a diploma. Mostly when not sober.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

That's what professors do... I'm as drunk as Dave Allen or Dean Martin were in their comedy routines - only drink 1-2 socially about twice a week..... the 'drunk' image is just for the comedy routine and such... sure fooled you lot.... not that that is difficult at any time ....

**downs another fine Guinness - shot of Jamesons - it's a Galway thing... ask Ken Bruen and his character Jack Taylor .. get on the heavenly side of a pint - drink it**

Actually, grasshoppers - I've found a pub around here that serves pints of Guinness... worth a trip one day.
