Does anyone else feel uneducated after reading threads on MN?

[flashingnose]

Since having children I seem to have the attention span of a gnat. I didn't go to university and am far too easily swayed by a good argument.

Some of the posters on here make me with their depth of knowledge, reading and analysis and their ability to argue a point.

Hats off to you - I've learnt an awful lot on here.

Me too, flashingnose! Esp on the book thread as there are some well read MNs out there. My last read was Shane Ritchies biography!!! Haha!!

But fn you do have a flashing nose which most fo them dont have

Mumsnet - the source and the resource for our lives.

most of 'em make it up though

say anything with enough confidence and someone will believe you

yes my barrister freind!

I avoid those uppity know it alls

Sometimes, it is better than Late review

A flashing nose - my usp . My Mum would be so proud

Was it a good read collision?!

And you know what they say 89.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot

I can't follow half of them, the code on the ttc thread gives me headaches!

lunavix as a past expert on the ttc thread ... which ones don't you know?

There are some scarily clever people on here. I tend to avoid those threads where my ignorance will shine out like a beacon For the same reason I avoid the spanking, whips, handcuffs etc. threads where sexually experienced types like lou33, specedonkey, beety and FF bandy phrases about which I simply don't know the meaning of

Btw, University doesn't mean anything - one of the most intelligent people I know is my Dad, and he didn't go to University. I spent too many nights in the Student Union watching so-called intellectual students blow up condoms and wear them as hats to be overly impressed by a degree.

did they also do the 'how many copper coins can you fit in your foreskin?' or was that just in my uni bar?

32p was the record IIRC

OMG! (and what was the record?)

How To Sound Bright:

1. buy a paper everyday
2. memorise the editorials
3. repeat the editorials to all your friends, pretending that they are your own original ideas

You need to leave a few days between 2. and 3. because otherwise people who read the same paper as you might realise your cunning technique.

Surely that is very unhygenic?

MP - I suspect dp does thar!!

lol. I imagine that if you are prepared to see how many coins you can fit in there you are not that preoccupied with the hygiene aspect.

Beansprout: I hope you are referring to reading the papers rather than stuffing coins up his foreskin?

I wondered that too

!!!!!!!!

Is that why they call it the "money shot"?!!!

they were med students / dentists .. I think that explains a lot

Moo!

Fwiw i read loads of threads and daren't post on them for fear of looking like an ignoramus
