    Yes. Clearly theres no way you've just contributed an epic extended monologue to the "pointless argument".
    I can only imagine that your life is so full and joyful that you simply don't have to.

    Oh I see you eventually decided to respond to me, but you waited over 2 weeks later to do so! My life is actually quite full geneer, I think it’s quite obvious that you spend a lot more time on here (and other forums) than I do (I only post here). But more to the point when you spend that time on here (and presumably your other forums) it’s always bickering with people. Is your life so unpleasant that it’s preferable to spend so much time on forums arguing so much of the time? You never actually say anything about your life do you? You merely mock others. If you went through my posts you would find there is a lot going on in my life and most likely find references to:

    career as a university lecturer
    voluntary work for dog rescue centres
    married
    have a dog
    friends and extended family
    running a business
    investing and savings
    swimming
    running
    cycling
    bowls
    chess
    tennis (although I admit I don’t seem to find the time to play much these days)

    What do you do with your time geneer?


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master's_degree
    Oh, it is quite impressive.

    Sorry to break this to you, but masters degrees are only impressive if you are easily impressed, does the cap fit? But even more important what have you done with this qualification that you hold in such high regard (see below).


    That wasn't the funny part. The funny part was you trotting out your "Chartership" only to find that I have one too.

    And you still haven't said what you are chartered in, or indeed what your profession is (if different). Is there any particular reason why you won't say? The big point that you are missing here geneer is that academic and professional qualifications are supposed to be used to pave the way for success, yet you don’t seem to have done this though, have you? See below where I will elaborate.

    Oh take a guess chuck.

    You're a building surveyor right? I have to say, I do reckon that mines does indeed trump the old RICS badge.

    No I’m not a building surveyor, what on earth made you think that? But I suppose that’s just one more bad call from you. Again why will you not say anything about your career?


    Chuck. You may be many things. But amused at my contributions you certainly are not .

    I think a lot of posters on this forum do laugh at you geneer, but you are quite correct although I do think of you as a clown I also think that you are an annoying troll too.

    But going back to the qualifications, the point that you seem to have missed is that these qualifications shouldn’t be viewed as the end result in itself, they should be used as keys to unlock the door to success and provide rewards from that success. But you don’t seem to have done this have you? It appears that you graduated quite some ago, yet you still didn't buy a house when they were much cheaper, years ago.

    What on earth have you been doing all this time since graduating, you don’t seem to have advanced very far, I hope you haven’t wasted all your time arguing on internet forums instead of getting on with real life. It seems to that me after gaining your academic/professional qualifications you haven’t pushed on and achieved anything with them, which is of course the whole point of getting such qualifications in the first place!

    Unless of course your qualifications are:

    MA Arguing on the internet
    MRICIC (Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Internet Clowns)
    Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop

    Oh dear. You're getting a bit shouty chuck.
    Have nice cup of tea. Challenge your wife to a nice game of online chess. Take the dog for a walk.

    Theres no point in responding to your comedy tirade really.
    You've kinda done my job for me.

    Awww what's wrong geneer? Did my post upset you? Hit a nerve did it?

    So the:

    Subject of your masters degree
    Profession that you are chartered in

    Is to remain a secret? Whatever they were in wasn't the point anyway geneer! It's what you do with them and where they take you what really matters. That's the area of your failure though isn't it?

    Yes, how did you get so well qualified in a housing related profesion, and still manage to fail so badly?

    You must be the office laughing stock.
