no one's picked up on the fact that Will Young won "breakthrough artist"? he might be a good singer, but he hasnt exactly broken any boundaries - musically.
and robbie williams = best male artist? he's done fuck all, all year!

I think its cool. He's doing his own thing, and saying stuff on record I haven't heard said before. I really like his lyrics.
The closest comparison i'd say is to The Specials, with tunes like ghost town and friday night saturday morning.

No. A small minority would be 10% of a population. A large minority would be 40% of a population.

An oxymoron is a phrase that contains contradictions. There is nothing contradictory about asserting that a minority can be large?
A minority is not by definion small but SMALLER; in comparison to something else i.e. the majority.
Its good to see the money daddy spent on a university education wasn't wasted.

Hey, I'm not a man who's afraid to admit he's wrong now and again. it's just in this case I'm right. A correct way of saying it would be to say a "sizable majority" or a "considerable majority"

majority? BTW, as I said, to label "large minority" an oxymoron is incorrect. Large is just a quantity, minority is based on a percentage. Therefore, tho you may not like it, "large minority" is not incorrect usage of the rule of the English Language.

You seem to have a real problem with university educated people. What is it? Is your boss a university graduate promoted above you because of his degree? Did you go to university and flunk out? Were you not very popular at university and made a fool of? Or were you, as my suspicions tell me, too thick to go in the first place?

My family were poor as well. I had to work almost every night in safeways to subsidise my education. I don't know why you chucked "too poor" into your diatribe, but I can't really complain about the other two.

No, it was before tuition fees were introduced. I got the full student grant but my dad was out of work at the time so I gave most of it to my parents. I didn't mind working in safeway, though. It was a good laugh and the checkout girls were easily impressed by my linguistic skills and my natty student dress sense. Never had more fun in my life.

And do you know? - when I pressed my student grant into my father's calloused hands with their broken fingernails, he took his woodbine out of his mouth for a moment and said to me "Son, you're the man of the house now." It was such a touching moment. If only he could have stayed alive to see me graduate, he would have been so proud. But 25 years down the pit had taken their toll.

That's very touching Bill. But how did you feel at university, being surrounded by middle class kids who's parents gave them everything and lived to see them graduate. Were you not bitter? Resentful even?

In life you are dealt some cards. Some are high. Some are low. Some are Jacks. Others are deuces. Some people get dealt better cards. Some people get dealt worse cards. But those cards are your CARDS and to resent those cards would be to resent yourself. Of course I wish things could have been different. But those cards are what made me the person i am today and i am proud of them.

You know i heard a parable once. It said that if you give all the poor people in the world all the rich people's money and vice versa and come back in ten years you will find that the rich people are ruch again and the poor people have probably spent it all on lager and scratchcards.
It isn't rigged. Not everyone is equal.

During his latter years, I'm afraid that my father did turn to alcohol somewhat. Being laid off from the mines really made him quite depressed, as it did for a lot of people in the west of scotland. And if he got some pleasure from scratchcards, who am i to critiscise? Plus the week before he cacked it he won £250,000 on a golden win scratchcard and left it all to me. I've been laughing my ass off ever since. Fuck poor people. I'M RICH!

Well, so long as you gave him a decent burial with that and got yourself first class honours in town planning, or whatever it was you did at Luton.
