No weakness on this forum!!!
- 12 November 2010 10:5779767I have just been reading a profile of the excellent Rory Stewart M.P. in which he says:-
"[pre-modern cultures saw] nothing inconsistent in the co-existence of self-promotion, fantasy and greatness... We are no longer prepared to accept this. Competitiveness, egotism and rhetoric are seen as weaknesses."
Looks like we must have a pre-modern culture on the forum?
- 12 November 2010 13:0579793i am trying to think who would fit in with the qualities described.
especially the fantasy one. - 12 November 2010 13:2379794Howard, no names no pack drill but I think I've identified individuals for each of self-promotion, fantasy,competitiveness,egotism and rhetoric.
Still short of someone for greatness!

I don't feel with all due respect that I can put you down for greatness so the question is how many of the other five boxes you tick? (I give myself 3/5).
- 12 November 2010 15:1679803Please read my post on the front page ,as for myself I do not even give myself one tick,I do think most of you see me in the wrong light ,but that is life and I do not care anyway,But I love doing what i am doing and may it be for many years yet.
- 12 November 2010 17:0679836Bob,
I have just checked and I find I have ticked 5/5!! now can I qualify for greatness please!! (It would make an old man happy) - 12 November 2010 17:1079838Jimmy, bloody close BUT you failed on rhetoric.
Sorry about that, trying to keep up proper University standards! - 12 November 2010 17:1979841Bob,
I always guessed you had a downer on the working class!!
- 12 November 2010 19:0179855Bob,
I feel blown away, conversing with the university class who'd have thought it!! - 12 November 2010 19:5579857jimmy
you have to realise that bob is so clever that his brain rubs against the inside of his skull giving him some terrible headaches.
