Where's Waldo?

[Blutarsky]

I have seen pdoherty asserted that he both has a Master's Degree from Manchester and that he uses his real name on this forum.

do i seem like the usual troll? i have given my real name, stuck around, and had my mind changed on certain issues

So...Where's Waldo?

So...Where's Waldo?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he was too busy playing pocket-pool while listening to Bermas on the radio.

(... can I say "pocket-pool" on here?)

 

[brodski]

[Edit- never mind, I should have read the OP.

 

[Dog Town]

While, I couldn't care less, if PD'oh had a degree! It will not be a surprise if he does not have one. If he does, he should demand his money back!
He is by far, the most ignorant "educated" person, I have ever seen!
On a positive note,he is fun to laugh at!

If not, just say he was typing one-handed instead. We'll know what you mean.

[tkingdoll]

Perhaps he meant he gave his real name during the registration process?

 

[sackett]

Look at that list! Sadoon, Salih, Khalid, Mohammad (fa Christ sake!), Hadi, and the ever-popular Azzah!

You think they’d let Waldo, I mean PeeDee.001 keep his name up there? What are you, blind?

Or shills for the NWO?

Wait a minute –

Okay, never mind. This is not me and I didn’t post here. I know nothing, nothing I tell you.

 

[Blutarsky]

I'm betting his last name is Doherty...

 

[brodski]

I can see where you're going wrong, in the UK the books are called "where's Wally", if you're looking for Waldo in Manchester, you won't find him.

 

[brodski]

I'm betting his last name is Doherty...

Unless he's a Libertines/ Babyshambles fan.

 

[Stellafane]

If not, just say he was typing one-handed instead. We'll know what you mean.

...or "searching for clues."

 

[Hellbound]

Hmm...

Applying the same logic, instead of looking for "Doherty", we should just look for "Doh!", right?

 

[tkingdoll]

The phone book lists 16 P Dohertys in Manchester.

 

[Bell]

The phone book lists 16 P Dohertys in Manchester.

Wait! There's 15 more?!

 

[tkingdoll]

Wait! There's 15 more?!

There were 16 more today. My hubby, whose name is also P Doherty, was working in Manchester today.

NO COINCIDENCES!

I am instantly suspicious! And also a resident of Greater Manchester. And I know the University campuses in the town pretttty well.

There are two Universities in Manchester - Manchester Metropolitan University, and Manchester Victoria University. MVU also has a science faculty/campus known as "UMIST" - "University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology" which is big enough to be another university in it's own right. I notice Petey didn't specify which institute he studied at.

Given the organisation I work for, I can probably find out the details of the current heads of departments in all three institutes if their specialism is quoted on the forum, but my first question to Petey would be *where* he studied?

The program pdoherty speaks of is a 4-year undergraduate program, not a postgraduate degree as we think of a "Master" in the States.

Not necessarily, we've always had postgrad Masters in the UK - in fact the 4-year undergrad programme is just 3 years of a regular batchelors degree and 1 final year for the Masters. It's a fairly new thing. But a Masters here is equivalent to a Masters in the USA, whichever route you take. It's still a postgrad degree.
