Actually, we are not alone - I just spotted that on the main site, this week's poll is 'What's your favourite lolly?'

!!!!!! - compared to that, this conversation is positively buzzing.

You lately keep aligning profesional status with social capital (for example yesterday your assersion bulls were mainly non degree educated). This must well up from your sense of superiority and thus places your own selse of worth above others.

Why do you have this need?

My last Doctor, had the degree, having learned parrot fashion - his own admission. Was he more intelligent than the average Joe - I doubt it. He had almost no spelling ability for starters and the listening skills of a dead stoat.

Some of the best computer hackers in the world are illiterate to some extent,but have a massive intelligence when it comes to coding/code breaking.

Dyslexia makes people highly intelligent in some aspects of their thinking (almost photographic memory, lateral thinkers, fast learners).

That is why they can pass exams with ease but suffer with poor literacy and are often seen as not paying attention (mainly due not having to keep going over things to remember things or work them out.)

Can I just point out that I have logged back in again to see how the thread was going, even though I should be working, and will log off again shortly. Strangely enough I will not spend the afternoon setting up new accounts via Gmail, or manouvering a vast army of sock puppets through various threads on the forum.

Some of us have work to do.

It's because there's nothing very interesting to discuss currently, other than admire Really's home photos etc.

The world economy has stopped collapsing in an interesting, scary and dramatic way, it's now just receding gradually. House prices are going nowhere very interesting fast - even a fall of 10% over a year is like watching paint dry on a day-by-day basis.

Plus, personally, I'm only on here because I'm bored out of my brain by marking at the moment, and even this tosh is better than reading the same essay for the umpteenth time.

Hope everyone else is having a luvverly day.

Fair doo's but maybe if the threads are degenerating because of boredom, there's the moneysaving arms to go to.
Don't go there myself, but I like to be able to read interesting points of view / facts / stats and the like on the economy, house prices and the recession, not go through pages and pages of post of no topical point.

Interestingly, I posted a thread about the OECD factbook eXplorer in which a country's boredom is one of the stats has been measured and can be viewed

I'm not bored...I'm still energized from the weekend.

And that is probably why I am not really here all that often just recently. Never fear though, the usual peed off, depressive me will probably be back again by the end of the week once the real life comes back again and I'll only have another 54 weeks to wait until my next little break!

I am just entertaining the usuals on my week off.

Seems they need a target, bless

I've changed my mind!!!

There has been over 2000 views of this thread, and that makes me a little proud.

That somehow something I started has impacted people's lives in the absolute smallest way possible. I'd like to see how many more replies/views and pages of meaningless merde can be consumed by this thread before it gets closed, or people die.

The thread is dead! Long live the thread!

Keep it going Guys, this inane drivel is gold! :T

Why don't you try going outdoors for a while and encounter the real world. No wonder you're going bananas when you're sat in front of your computer 24/7 posting absolute gibberish

One minute its full on threads asking for certain people to be banned, next minute its "stop getting at me" in bold. Next its "I'm trying to break the ice, how about we all stop". The next it's "im merely entertaining the usuals on my week off, bless".

Talk about split personalities depending on which posters are online to thank.

Too hot earlier in the week (fair skinned) and too wet today.

I would go out more but the "usual" posters on here are something else. You don't get people like the "usuals" in the real world.:D
