    As they say in Yorkshire; "If the cap fits, wear it!"
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    It just seems odd, because I have been talking about knowledge not intelligence.

    Can you have one without the other?

    But then again: do I want my MEPs to be creative, soy-latte clichés and all?

    More seriously: especially in technical fields it's often a specific set of skills that is useful. Eventually it leads you to build up domain specific knowledge; but the flow is largely one-way. The skills appear to center around problem solving by way of analysis and process of elimination. You'd be surprised how few people appear able to do it. I expect most just play stupid in the hope someone else will do the hard work for them.

    What do scream when you obviously got busted, exactly. That Geenstijl reporter might be a terrorist.

    Definitely.

    I've had several students who know a whole bunch of facts(knowledge), but who are almost incapable of connecting the dots between those facts and construct meaning from them(knowledge). As the school I work for give separate grades for this, it's easy to see that I have given high scores in one field and a low score on the other for the same student. Although I would add that the discrepancy is rarely extreme, they tend to be around the same level for most students and students with a high score on connecting dots and a low score on knowledge is a lot rarer than the opposite(though that may be because their "connecting dots"-score suffer from a lack of dots to connect in the first place).
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
