They’d do better working towards a job, most are too useless to even manage waiting tables never mind gaining a worthwhile degree.
Even if they do get a degree they’ll probably end up in a shop or minimum wage job anyway.
This ridiculous idea of the government that 50% of people should go to university for a degree is moronic !

Firstly. half the population are simply not up to it and all it does is devalue the achievements of the top 5 or 10%
Secondly, nothing like 50% of jobs require degrees therefore huge numbers of people will end up doing mundane jobs which is exactly what they would have done if they hadn’t wasted their time getting a degree

I enjoyed that burst of Nancy….. in fact I’ve got the Best of NS on CD somewhere, proving perhaps that the music we hear played at home during our childhood holds a certain fondness as time goes by (apart from Des O’Connor of course ). You will forgive me Neville but I decided to avoid Jessica Simpson’s version, however I’m sure our host will appreciate her and her boots……. Nancy’s a bit too modern for him, strikes me he might be more of a Frank fan when entertaining at home

p.s. I trust my authentic Inuit winter leg warmers are coming along nicely Neville…… you can’t fool me with a Nancy Sinatra smoke-screen

A new survey has revealed that 25% of Lap Dancers have a University Degree …… wonder what percentage of waiter/waitresses/bar staff are working towards a degree? Besides, you can’t believe everything your brother tells you…. although I would because he’s got such an honest face

“over 10 miles was walked in an 8.5″ Yes someone bought me one about three years ago, when I was still working. Because of the nature of my job, IT Technician & Network Manager in a school, I was walking about 8 miles a day but only in a 5¼ hour day, which pro rata was more than you guys. As far as exercise goes it doesn’t count for much as it wasn’t ‘at a decent pace’. Don’t know how it rates in this rather dubious intelligence callibration though

I walk far fewer miles now that I’m retired, but what walking I do, generally has ‘value’. So for me I guess it is no change!

Plus i walk about 15 miles a week with El Poochio! So anything between 50 and 65 miles a week is covered by yours truly, and I’m still as thick as doodoo!!!

What with the Maestro going on about walking and intelligence and you placing an order for boots I feel a touch of the Nancy Sinatra’s coming on. I know you are both far too young to know what I’m talking about so just take a listen at this:

Sounds like sado-masochism to me! I’m sure Rod will be more appreciative of this version by Jessica Simpson

He’ll soon be seen strutting intelligently over Irby Dale dressed as The Lincolnshire Cowboy
