Default Strange stories....

I have started this thread as an apology to Pete......XTreme, last year some time we fell out a little because he started posting things about Brits re-inventing themselves and for a large part being full of crap the second they board a plane.....


He kept saying about the skills plane that touched down every week filled to the brim with people who, oft times with little or no experience AT ALL, would set up in no time as "professionals" the second they walk off the runway.


He suggested, I thought wrongly at the time, that people lie about who they are and what they are to over inflate their importance, their position, and to be honest, the optimist in me made me question him, at times quite vociferously.................


Well Pete, I'm sorry mate, I have been proved wrong over the last few days and have come to realise that you were far more intuitive than I could ever be..................It really is possible to become whatever you want to be, so long as you just keep telling people enough that's what you do, and thats who you are.

I don't think I will bother spending any more money or time getting my Masters and diploma, I think I will just tell every one that I have them...........it will be OK, I'm sure.


Pete, I'm sorry I ever doubted you mate, please accept my humblest apologies.........

Are you Karma whoring by any chance?!
Definitely deserved, but sadly unavailable at the moment!
Have an IOU instead!
