Yeah that's me Raedwulf.

Out of interest, and used in any threads where medical issues come up (two people on here like to distort certain medical statistics to vilify section of society) the other two Muskets are actually doctors although McMusket is of the academia type rather than face patients these days. It's my later in life interfering in healthcare that got us all recognising each other at folk clubs.

I'm thick as pigshit and proud, if that's a credibility test around here. Never went to 'uni as such and only got off my arse in my late '30s to research the testical side of my industry to a doctoral thesis, the entry having been my dissertation to charter as an engineer.

You see, you are as guilty as any of the actually nasty ones in that respect. Dragging up irrelevant aspects of people that you glean from elsewhere. There are many people on Mudcat who can give an informed perspective to any debate but to do so give their credentials.

Not easy when ignorance is put forward as a virtue and the shoulder chip lightly fried and sprinkled with salt and vinegar.
