    Re: Who's clever?

    I just remembered, I must be clever, I played chess with an International Master a month ago.



    He whipped my bum at the speed of light, but I played him.

    Re: Who's clever?

    Selective story telling: you don't need to tell people about that last bit Brucelles, just that you played him. Or if it is a different croud you are speaking to, tell them you played with him and get a giggle.

    Re: Who's clever?

    I spose I could be counted as reasonably smart or intelligent, never seen myself as a genius though. Got to uni (not that it is a great measure any more, but am at one of the top 20 UK unis - Times Guide to Education 2008).

    Nope, I just pretend. It seems to work rather well but does make my brain hurt!

    Well, my ex-girlfriend has recently received her PhD in the Maths of Fluid Dynamics, I've another two friends who are studying for PhDs at Harvard (in poncy arts subjects, mind...). I know hundreds of people who got good degrees from the UK's Best University(TM) (as did I). Need I go on?

    Re: Who's clever?

    Cambridge has lots of research and is good at some subjects, Oxford is good at other subjects. UEA (uni of East Anglia) is great at Law. It's subject dependant. Best overall, Bristol
