# Well, gee,
thanks.

I've always looked older than I am, mind. Which has always been a bonus in pubs.

What did you think I was doing in 2nd year uni then? Just being thick?

# Well
I was older than that in my second year.

Mind you, I'm thick.

# I think my studies centred mainly around
the current Guest Ale in the Uplands Tavern.

There was a bit of metallurgy in there too. But I didn't study enough of it to actually get a degree.
