ANSWER ME!

[Poll #573296]


Yes, of course I've done my presentation.
Some of it.
In my MIND.
Look, a pterodactyl is making off with Margaret Thatcher's wig! *runs*
(BBC news reported the break up of Mark Thatcher's marriage, and included this paragraph:

"Educated at Harrow, he left in 1971 with just three O-levels. He did not go to university, and failed his accountancy exams three times."

And then they begrudgingly admit that he's actually quite successful.

Mark Thatcher is quite successful because he shamelessly traded on his mummy's name in an arms deal with the Saudis. Not that it was his idea, of course, but some wealthy men with genuine entrepreneurial skills saw him as a useful conduit with connections and groomed him for the job. Later he married a Texan heiress, falling ass-backwards into money.

So there you have it. To be rich, you neeed no mad skillz. Just make sure you are the son of the Prime Minister and then marry a wealthy heiress. Easy.

I have noted it accordingly, and have started grooming my mother for the Prime Minister slot.
