Cats are useless, arrogant, selfish and narcissistic.

When someone asks "Why are we here?", the response should be "Why the fuck are cats here?".

They're the most perfectly adapted predator on land, everything about them is geared towards being a deadly viscious killer.

Unfortunately for the cats they're also cute and fuzzy :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Yes, but I have to have a role model and most humans are sadly lacking.

I can't argue with that as long as there is one caveat - we go back to the days of 5% going to university, rather that 49% (or whatever the level is now). Too many useless degrees in pointless subjects that don't benefit the student or the nation. It just created 50k debt per person. Anyone wonder why chancellors and Vice - C are so well paid - 500k plus!

There's an argument that if you go back to 5% then charge more, 'cos only rich kids went.

Bring back the Polys and Tech colleges I say. :thumbup:

PS At my Uni, over one of the bog rolls in the toilets in the Great Hall (where they had the graduation ceremony) someone wrote 'Engineering degrees, please take one'. Also there, 'Yesterday I couldn't even spell engineer. Today I are one'.

PPS Pub bog in Newcastle - 'Back in 5 minutes, Godot'.

This has reminded me of our engineering head who had a framed poster in his office stating '6 munce ago i couldn't spell ingineer, now i is one '
He was a good engineer though!

There's nothing wrong with ticket touting, if you don't want to pay the price then don't make that unnecessary purchase.
