    I will tell you what gets me worked up and it is not personal against anyone. It is this idea that by getting a PhD you are no longer normal and so you should get free upgrades and favours just because you sound upper class. That is a point of social values and not personal against anyone.

    how exactly do you know this from sitting at a pc day in, day out :confused:

    Sure I get as bitter as hell. Everyone else seems to be able to get onto PhDs and Masters, get good jobs and jobs with big companies, but yet I can not get anything. So I have sure as hell a lot of right to be bitter when I hae battled and tried just as much as anyone else.

    What is all this nonsense you talk about? How many 21 year olds do you know with a PhD?

    You really are a nasty piece of work arent you troll? I am shocked at what you done over the past two days and you can play the victim as much as you like but guess what - it really doesnt wash anymore.

    AB I hope you are not upset by what has happened you deserve all the congratulations people can give you even if they do come 8 months late - strange the way that happened:confused::confused:

    Anyone who still thinks you are a genuine poster probably is a newbie who will go through the cycle of a) being shocked at us oldies for being nasty then b)advising you then c)getting frustrated with your total ignorance and stupidity then d)joining us oldies in being nasty.

    Wonder what ever did happen to the Student phil appreciation society that started - dont see that in too many signatures now:confused: :rolleyes:

    Anyway I am pleased more and more people are starting to realise that you are not real - maybe that way more and more people will treat you with the contempt you deserve
