Try to avoid the local halfwits in future.

As a mental health professional I find sush posts offensive.. I note too you continue to post like these even after having been advised.
I guess you can just be thankful you have no family members with such disabilities.. Because if you did you would never post in this way.

Is it a F1 dumper truck? Shame about the budget though. Who compiled that for you?

Projects such as mine invariably use the accepted amount of contingency fund especially with chosen upgrades along the way, i.e. heat recovery system and leisure annexe. Your lack of experience in this matter is totally understandable.

What a complete egotist you are.. Reminds me of several MPs that could be named

Shame you and your like don't spend some of the taxpayers contingency fund on the poor, Ill, homeless and needy. The world would be a much better place... Now that is a real profit.. Rather than ego massaging indulgences.

Now Thursday I go to work at a clinic because I chose to help the people you choose to call halfwits.
So I will go and spend my time profitably

I can assure you I have paid vast amounts of tax which presumably has been spent on those causes you mention. Without companies making a profit, then paying many kinds of tax, UK society would come to a halt very quickly.

No, only a dumper truck driver would consider himself to be superior to a person of letters.

With reference to the intellectuality of dumper truck drivers vs University Lecturers. I am inclined to think that a persons professional status is little guide to their state of intellect. Some people are more commited to their family, or free time, than to their professional life, and, accordingly, chanel their creativity into the former. I have met intellectuals working in the 'so called' lower professions, and also halfwits working as professors. A professor may well have access to information regarding their own field of research, but this tells us nothing about their awareness in other fields. Similarly a dumper truck driver may well be an intellectual in his free time. I am concerned with what a person says, not who they are. The fact that somebody may not have had access to formal higher education does not rule out their ability to educate themselves. All sounds a bit like 'educating Rita' I know but I would take an Open University Graduate over one from a formal University any day of the week. The Open University was probably the most revolutionary thing which the Labour Party initiated because it shifted a focus onto the ability of the working class to educate themselves.
 
Looking at the voting that took place last night, it was pretty clear that the one option, leave with no deal, had little support. The ones that came closest were for something not so different to what we have now, and a second referendum.
In France elections take place with multiple candidates for a post, and if one receives more than 50% of the vote he/she is elected. However when no candidate can command that 50%, a second vote takes place with the two candidates who received the most votes going head to head. Maybe the two options that came closest to a win should go head to head Monday. The only problem with that of course, is that it was not organised to be the system before the first votes.

Yes you are quite right, a persons job does not mean so many things. However to call everyone a halfwit without even knowing who you are talking about is showing a very strange view of a population.

The current goings on in the House are a marvellous advert for the relative benefits of an Oxbridge education <whistle>
