The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[chrisf]

This thread has become very bad tempered.  Must be Pre Millennium Tension.

Sorry, Brian. My post was very much tongue in cheek. Obviously got lost in translation .... .... your post was a bit bollocks though

I was once short listed for a teaching position in Philadelphia that carried with it an associate professorship for the successful candidate.  It was in the same discipline as Tony Xia studied at Harvard.  Conversely I have the great good fortune to know as friends several of the cleverest men and women in Cambridge.  Most of them do not know how to boil an egg.  One or two do not know what an egg is.  One dear old boy now deceased who assisted Fred Hoyle formulate the opposition to the Big Bang theory of everything only ever wanted to talk about kippers and Oldham Athletic.

Professor Green?

I did not get the job but it really did carry the associate professorship of landscape architecture at the Philadelphia School of Architecture.

Can you prove any of this though? Can't find anything on Google. I believe all the Dr Xia stories but yours sounds suspicious.

I suppose if I could be arsed I could dig out the last eight years of  CCTV of me talking bollocks and selling kippers to Professors of physics from Oldham but for now you have to take or reject my word for it.  Ten years on and they still phone my wife and ask her the combination of the safe in the Earth Sciences Department.

What was the safe code again? Very last time.

Ask her yourself.  She is watching Peaky Blinders. Good luck with that.
