    Well done Mel, I especialy like number 4, this is so true of so many academics.


    Don`t know "B" from a bulls foot or their "Arse from their elbow"


    I made a prediction years ago that the world was going to be full of unemployed academics, how true was that.


    We have university "trained" people doing menial work not associated with their degree.


    We have academics unemployed as they feel some jobs are below their standard.


    Guess what? China loves us for it, their people are prepared to work in a " job" our people want a "career" so stay on the dole waiting for " ships that never come in."
