h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Post 154 of this thread:

"I was awarded a government grant to go to university 64 years ago. However at that time university places were few and far between because they were taken up by servicemen returning from active service that had interrupted their education."

Post 1 of the Now be (dis)Honest thread:

"For the record I left school about 6 months before my 16th birthday."

Just in case the maths is tripping you up, 6 months before your 16th birthday means you were 15 when you dropped out of school.

Anyone who would care to go check and verify what I'm saying, please feel free.

AB, to be a good liar you need half a brain. Sadly (but unsurprisingly) this leaves you lacking by about 7/8ths of a brain. Like I say, the fact that you can breathe and type at the same time astounds me.

Mind you, maybe you can't type and breathe at the same time: oxygen deprivation would certainly explain the amount of bovine droppings that is emitted any time you come into contact with a keyboard.

Before anyone accuses me of trolling, I simply see no point of actually debating with a racist, homophobic, ignorant, lying, selfish, cowardly, bullying hypocrite. I would be better off debating with my kitchen table.

Instead I will simply point out AB's myriad failings as a man and as a human being at every opportunity. Thankfully, his aforementioned and proven intellectual inadequacies, make this rather easy for me.

An early edition of my h2g2 personal space.

In the course of my career development at the age of 18 I was awarded a university grant based on interview and my examination results. I didn't take it up, preferring to go for a professional engineering qualification in line with my career objectives.
