    If you had been following, you'd know I was a Science student. I would have been carrying a copy of College Physics rather than Das Kapital or Catcher In The Rye.

    Every student , nearly to be caccurate,used to wander around with a copy of Catcher In The Rye at one time whatever they were studying. Never come across anyone, even those studying literature who ever finished it.<laugh> Some used to wander about with a copy who weren't students, a bit like those who had a parka but not a scooter.

    The idea of books like Catcher was to impress folk, especially gullible females, that you were some kind of intellectual. Don't think walking in the pub with College Physics tucked under your arm would have been a babe magnet.

    Why wouldn't they finish it. It's hardly a long book. And you have now.

    Obviously you are referring to an era way before my time. I didn't carry books to impress anyone.

    As Oscar Wilde once said

    I have nothing to declare except my genius

    I didn't as my devastating looks and charm were enough. Lesser mortals needed assistance.

    Let's hope the day isn't near when you say either that wallpaper goes or I do...

    Leave the thread, get rid of Barchullona and Mr Hatem, who don't give a **** about the thread discussion, just getting it closed and moving to another one, and then it starts again ...

    Include me out. It is castro's fault not mine. I have stopped replying to him.
    Since when do I seek to get threads closed?

    If one wants to get a thread closed, one just needs to mention certain politicians or certain religions. I do neither.

    I'll try harder.
    BTW this thread was started by me, so how can I hijack my own thread? ;)

    You can't, because threads are never hijacked. What actually happens is known as thread expansion.

    Yes, some murderous lunatics and failed dictatorships were influenced by it.
