Nice try , troll-boy .

Getting them in early doesn't make you less of a troll.

Just because you were too thick to go to Uni it doesn't mean that
other people in this 'group aren't interested.
The response to an earlier post on A-Level results proves that
tertiary education is of interest to many people here.

You also contributed to that post,I seem to remember.

Trying to ***-stir so early on in the thread without addressing the
point tends to highlight your mischievous intent.

Anyway,why haven't you killfiled us if you believe your claim that I
am a troll ?
The obvious thing to do would have been to ignore us,but you choose to
post an inflammatory reply . Why ?

Your actions betray your true nature , troll.
