He lambastes Bills but is on a trip to Vegas? Anyone spot the irony here?

Hi Getting.

The Times today gives a restaurant called Tast Cuina Catalana quite a good write up. Don’t know Manchester. Too far north and I don’t have particularly good rain clothes. I could recommend good restaurants in Bristol!!!

Less than two weeks until Vegas. Five more added to the party apparently so now 23 of us going. Night out in Manchester the day before we fly. Anyone know any good restaurants in Manchester? Something decent, not a Bills!

So great, you're back home by 9.41PM or choose to excuse yourself to come on ADVFN!

ROFLMAO!

Fabulous evening at my local. Brilliant range of locally brewed beers. Nice people. So many happy people. Wonderful.

[gettingrichslow] 21/9/2018 20:14

Meanwhile, calm down and try being happier for a while, you might enjoy it!

brexit, the sage and all-round nice man. He agrees with all newcomers, at least until they cross him.
With his pitiful class of degree, he has to agree with Eaglebeagle on this one.

Eaglebeagle

Totally agree.

Academic success and corporate success are clearly not 100% correlated. The better universities can get you a good standard of living but real success can come from any background at all. Much better to know yourself and love what you do.

Apologies to getting, but come on now, why can't we all just get along?

And look at my wallet.
And I'm in Wales with lots of sheep.

Did you find that interesting?

[gettingrichslow] 21/9/2018 10:57

Sounds like you're making a slightly desperate case for why you went to a third rate university. Could it be that you just weren't/ aren't bright enough to get in to a better one? I had an interview for Cambridge. Fluffed the interview when they started grilling me and I wasn't strong enough to take the pressure. I was 18 and not resilient enough. So fair enough, I admitted defeat and moved on. Maybe you need to do the same?

[brexitplus] 21/9/2018 10:48

Oh dear, oh dear.

Sounds like a huge lack of self-esteem to me. Perhaps you should try an online degree with a real university. Try Coursera.

Come on now. Filter me.

Is there even a university in Pontypridd? Why would anyone go??!

[brexitplus] 21/9/2018 10:37

Well actually, until 1976 when Loughborough University of Technology amalgamated with Loughborough Colleges this may have been true. In fact the University qualifications were high, the Colleges not so, although the teachers were excellent. Now the entry qualifications are much higher across the board, and much higher than the pretend university in Pontypridd.

How do I know this. Well, I was doing my Postgrad at the time and playing lots or rugby and cricket in wonderful facilities.

I’m not sure thrillers set in Florida qualify as literature.

Off to the great city of Bristol now. Keep trying!!

[minerve] 21/9/2018 10:32

Shame they don't concentrate on literature at that university as they do sporting prowess. Most of them are average intellectuals who are very good at sport. Is that you brexit? You are not an intellectual so you must be good at something, apart from having one lunch too many.

It's a Max Cady quote.

Max Cady is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. He was portrayed by Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear (1962 film) and Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear (1991 film).

John D. MacDonald
John Dann MacDonald was an American writer of novels and short stories, known for his thrillers. MacDonald was a prolific author of crime and suspense novels, many of them set in his adopted home of Florida. One of the most successful American novelists of his time, MacDonald sold an estimated 70 million books in his career.

Not very well-read are you.;)

Defence, not defense, unless you are a Yank.

[minerve] 21/9/2018 09:55

It's not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me my friend. I could get upset. Things could get out of hand. Then in self defense, I could do something to you that you would not like, right here.

“Maybe time is near to move on.”

Try 6ft under. It would make you very popular!!!
