The fact that i could have went for a Phd (docter) if i'd really wanted just shows that that title doesn't always mean much.

And i was talking about a decent job ox

I went to a Randy Newman concert last night. He was great. In view of the discussion we've been having on this thread I think one of his songs is more relevant than ever.

It's called Political science

No-one likes us,
I don't know why
We may not be perfect
But heavens know we try
But all around us
Even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the Big One
see what happens

We give them money
But are they grateful?
No they're spiteful
and they're hateful
They don't respect us
so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one
pulverise them

Asia is crowded
Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold
South-America stole our name
Let's drop the Big One
There will be no-one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an all-American amusement-park there
They got surfing too!

Boom goes London
Boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city, the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh how peaceful it would be
We'd set everybody free
You'd wear a Japanses kimono baby, it'd be Italian shoes for me!
They all hate us anyhow
so let's drop the Big One now
Let's drop the Big One now...

Randy Newman is a sarcastic genius.
