    well we all know I'm super edumacated, but hows about everyone else? I was always struck by the surfiet if degress/diplomas/phd's etc held by us peddlars when I was working, and I suspect that we must be the most overqualified industry in London. I'll start the ball rolling:

    1st Class BA (HONS) from st Plimperton's College Cambridge.
    2 GCSE's
    London Swimming Association 'bronze' award

    I bought a Blue Peter badge off of Ebay.

    Oh and I passed my driving test before 1993 therefore I can drive a 7.5t van without taking a further test.

    I am Amish too which qualifies me to have loads of wives.

    casper, i think you mean mormon. the amish don't do polygamy. (and neither, supposedly, do the mormons anymore.)

    i got some coca-cola gymnastics award when i was 8. and my bronze grade for tap/jazz/modern. hahahahaaaaa.

    i could relate to you my (field work) experience at the scientology centre, casper. but it was boring and a let down, so i shan't bother. the best part about it was that the man giving the introductory lecture had his flies unzipped. i think that sums up scientology quite well as it goes.

    i like the indy too. gives me things to argue against as well as clutching it to my breast in moments of joy over decent reporting.

    I was kicked out of the scientology centre on Tottenham ct rd and told not to come back, quite an achievement I reckon as they'll take anyone.

    ifbm, i'm not sure about "anyone", but i do applaud you nonetheless. homeslice got quite shirty with me since during the, "close your eyes, imagine an orange, now turn it blue, you can't can you?" part of the lecture, i insisted that i could. i think the miracles of scientology were supposed to help me turn it blue. or something. clearly my levels of thetan(???) are already cosmically high.

    Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, untalented sci fi writers...that's just about anyone...wouldn't a blue orange defeat the object of it being an orange?

    i think the point of the exercise was to show that our minds were rigid and unable to conceive of things we already knew differently. hence, an orange could only be visualised as orange, because that is the colour of an orange (aside from when they are green... :wink: ). supposedly scientology would show us how to open our minds and conceive of things in a new way - we would be liberated. apparently i already was. :jumping:

    but MJ is a scientologist? suddenly it all becomes clear!

    yup, rigid and unable that's me.....but why not something useful like visualising your bike red, or pink, or fast?
