The OP will recognise me from the Archers thread and it won’t be credible!

Say you've got a degree from Ambridge then

thislido · 06/04/2019 20:00

It’s an odd question as it seems fairly obvious why people would have two degrees.

1:1 has to be a typo of 2:1, surely. There’s no sub-classification of a first, as they would remember if they’d got one.

I’ve got two, a First for the BSc and a Distinction for the MSc. When I look at the BSc it represents a total waste of time for me - I wasn’t interested in the subject and didn’t in any way make the most of student life, but it’s almost worth it for hearing my dad describe boasting about it to one of his more obnoxious acquaintances. He hasn’t got any qualifications himself, it seems there were no certificates in borstal, so it’s quite touching.

I think you mean the University of Felpersham, Getting Grin

I snogged three different Americans in one night. I made the most of my student days

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:03

My mistake, This

thislido · 06/04/2019 20:07

Did they taste of cinnamon? Americans love cinnamon.

thislido · 06/04/2019 20:07

Also if you are listening to the Archers why aren’t you on the thread?!

Hi, I am looking for Child minder or Nany for my son, if any one interested please let me know.

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:12

They all tasted of VB ("lager" for you Brits) that night. We had a 24 beers in 24 hours challenge. I was supposed to be the sober judge and accompany them to the loos to make sure they weren't tipping the beer down. I ended up drinking more than anyone. And breaking the loo seat. If anyone from Farrer is reading this, you have me to thank for the broken dunny seat

CarolinePooter · 06/04/2019 20:12

Haha OP was v condescending and pompous to me on another thread...but dare not engage, bad for my blood pressure...

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:13

Sorry Dahli not interested. We're all too busy trying to get rid of our own children so we can do more lying down

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:14

This I gave up on the Archers forever after Week 3 of the "Susan's missing fruit bowl" storyline. True story.

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:26

We used to have in my extended family a land rover that we lovingly called "the babysitter"
Just stick the kids in. Lock. Hey presto!
Is that any good for you Dahli??

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:27

Summer re: all other threads being boring. You can sometimes strike gold whilst wading through the monotony. I discovered the delightful terms "Penis wearer" and "Knob jockey" on other MN threads

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:27

But where was the fruit bowl getting?
I'll not sleep tonight if you can't say...

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:30

True getting there is gold in them there threads.

CarolinePooter · 06/04/2019 20:33

I do like the land rover, summer

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:37

pooter we loved that old heap of junk. Very sad when it went. Every trip ended in a breakdown but was worth it (as not my car but my sister's so I had all the joy none of the spends)

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:38

Summer you'll have to ask This about the fruit bowl. I lost the will to live before it was rediscovered

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:40

I am gripped and not even had the build up to the MFB.

SummerHouse · 06/04/2019 20:43

Americans taste of beer not cinnamon. This is disappointing.

Nowaypast · 06/04/2019 20:47

Hello lovely inhabitants of thighland. (Are inhabitants called thighlanders? And do you have your own tartan? Which reminds me - yesterday I saw a group of men in kilts playing bagpipes in a car park that dog walkers park in. I'm not anywhere near Scotland by the way)

Anyway - I'm sure you all want an update on the tea towel thief. The update is that l, er, there is no update. I've been too busy drinking gin and other similar activities to conduct a stakeout.

Gettingnowhere · 06/04/2019 20:50

Hurrah Noway. We are Thisciples. We are nowhere near Scotland, but I believe quite a few of us are still in Hawaii wearing muu muus.
It sounds as though you are firmly embracing your inner thigh. I hope you find it as satisfying as we all do

CarolinePooter · 06/04/2019 20:51

Summer we spent years driving breaky-down cars so every journey was an adventure! After I passed my test I drove a Morris Minor Traveller which frequently broke down in traffic. It was always the same thing sticking, so I had to get out, open the bonnet and bang whatever-it-was with my shoe ;-)
