Sometimes you just want proof for yourself.
That's a fair point, you're right Robyn. Not all Mensa members are arrogant know-alls, some people need it to give them a self-confidence boost. That was more than a little clumsy of me to make such a sweeping statement. I just get a little hot under the collar sometimes when people are compartmentalised. I'm not exactly partial to people who look down on others.
IQ tests have been totally discredited now. They were designed as a tool to categorise people in the most ridiculous and superficial way. The IQ test was developed by privileged white men to reinforce class structure underlining their previously established prejudices.
Mensa is just an organisation that extracts money from gullible people who are so shallow that they need proof that they are clever to brag to their friends.

i'm heading down in to the big city tomorrow for a job interview......and will have a couple of hours to kill before subjecting myself to the interview itself (dreading it)...........i'm gonna be in the area of "angel" tube station on the northern line.........if anyone's near do they fancy a brew (tea), reckon it'll be around midday.. .

Good luck with the interview J Gull. It's not for the Royal Bank of Scotland is it? They've got a big office block next to Angel tube station. While you're there have a stroll down Camden Passage (A lot of people think that Camden Passage is in Camden, but it's actually in Islington) and have a look at all the Antiques shops, you'll never see so many in your life!
I love that area, I'm not there tomorrow unfortunately, but I am there sometimes - I'd love to live there but if you take a look in the estate agent's windows you'll see why I can't - the area's a little out of my reach price-wise!
many people on this board expressedthat they dont want to live forever.
when do you want to die?.
for me: 1. the day i cant take care of my bodily functions and am paralyzed from the neck down or 2. when i am 100years old.
According to http://www.deathclock.com , I'm gonna die on Thursday, March 7, 2041, a little more than eight years before Jo.

sometimes, the gender of a poster is relatively easy to deduce due to their style of posting, and, dare i say it, their choice of vocabulatory.
but sometimes it is difficult to know if you are "talking" to a man or a woman (or homosexual).
ok, right away, i hear protests of "what the heck does it matter?
I sometimes feel like I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body!

I'd still love to know who thought gilwarrior was a chick and tried to hook up with him and then got a shock when he spoke to him on the phone and found out he was a guy!
