    Well then, we have something of an impasse, though not related to your Billy big todger bluster about £1000 bets, I notice, so I guess that's progress at least. But it's always going to be a bit difficult to establish the validity of your dubious claims without any information to rely on other than your own brand of BS. But I'll leave it with you. You know how to PM me if you feel the urge.

    They might be dubious/unbelievable/rare in the circles that you tend to circulate, but most of my friends are well educated, and it is nothing out of the ordinary, in fact my wife also has a first class honours degree (in maths).

    That's not to say I am looking down on anyone without a degree, a degree doesn't prove intelligence, in fact I was a mature student and didn't get mine until I was 32 and prior to that I only had minimal qualifications.

    ChuckNorris , you are coming across as a very desperate man. Do you want salt and vinegar with that chip?

    LOL not desperate at all my friend, in fact I find it very amusing indeed that he is questioning my background when I have not stretched the truth even in the slightest. I'm not the one with the chip, everything is as I have stated it.

    I'm not willy waving to be honest I am merely defending myself against statements like this:

    So, just to be clear, I think there is little chance that you have as much as a GCSE in woodwork, much less an honours degree.

    And I also have a suspicion that you still live at with your mummy and daddy. Perhaps daddy is the Chartered Surveyor? Or maybe you do some cleaning for one? Either way, I don't believe it's you.

    And, evidently, you're no kind of landlord either, as your OP question was akin to a brain surgeon asking the nurse which end the head was!

    And, finally, your screen name? Chucknorris? Nah.... WalterMitty.

    Is it getting childish and too drawn out? Yes of course it is, I played my part in it too I realize that.

    It might suprise you that I actually agree. I got sucked into something when I should have been big enough to laugh it off and simply walk away. Like you say there are far more important things to get on with.
