Shaun Walsh Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 4 hours ago, Brian Cooper said: The benefit of a modern university education. . . To be fair, it doesn't matter whether you graduated last year or like me, over 40 years ago, a degree provides the core of knowledge that you then build on with work experience. Very often the book tells you how to do it right and people take short cuts because it's easier/cheaper, just wander round a new build house with a copy of the building regulations and you'll see what I mean. The real problem is the prevalence of useless degree courses designed to fund the university without any prospect of the student getting a decently paid job that uses the knowledge they gained doing the degree.

Brian Cooper Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) The power of advertising. ... Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?'""Eight", the boy replied.The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four.""Oh, really?" the pharmacist replied with a grin."Yes." the boy said. "We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do none of those."

Peter Miller Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 It can easily be answered by my favourite quotation "Those who the Gods seek to destroy, First they make mad!" And my favourite prayer: "OK, You have sent them all mad! Now for Pete's sake get on with the destruction part!!!" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a misadventure with the front numberplate while posing on the bike, the scooter was the only means of transport available to him! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
