| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark ""Doctor" is an academic title, derived from Latin, specifically the Latin verb "to teach" (docere)
It is a bit strange how many people have ised it into thinking it means a medical doctor, but in England in common usage that's where we are, however, a "real" doctor is a more difficult qualification than a medical doctor - a doctorate is the top academic qualification, whereas a medical doctor will normally be at the bottom, Bachelor, level.
I don't see any issue with a real doctor with a real doctorate using the title "doctor", but I suppose the issue revealed in this thread is that somehow a medical doctor is viewed in higher esteem by some than any other, real, doctorate, presumably because for some people a medical doctor has some near-mystical powers and so they think if anyone else calls themself a "doctor" they are trying to get the perceived kudos of people believing they are a medical doctor.
Ironic that"Doctor" isn't even that crash hot a moniker from a medical doctor's point of view
I thought it was surgeons rather than consultants that switched back to Mr.? Or Mrs/Ms/Miss. Snobbery is everywhere though. I've heard other senior clinicians refer to surgeons as meat technicians a couple of times. And FCA, pfft - just sums, innit?
Isn't it a bit weird that somebody like Sheens would be willing to wait on this as a reserve option?

Tip toe around it all you want.
If you were so certain about your own views you'd jump at the chance to be proven right. Listing your supposed charity work as some kind of sideways shuffle around the subject doesn't make you look any better. It's not if someone disagrees with you, it's that in this case they made a fair offer to see whose outcome would happen first. You'd get a little more respect by just being honest and backtracking your statement or taking the bet.

In fairness, that is his actual Twitter name.

| Quote: gutterfax "Whilst were on the topic of funds for the game and betting. I won the NRL opening round attendance bet back on 2010 when the NRL boards were populated here...the other betters contributed to the game! Oh....that bike ride I did between Leeds and London...it raised quite a substantial level of funds. Other than the cash I raised, there was a signed ball from Chelsea and a signed shirt from England cricket when the former won the league for the first time in yonks and the cricket team went an entire summer unbeaten as well as loads of other stuff that was auctioned.....can you guess the year and/or the player I helped raise funds for?'"
That's a lotta great work for charidee there mate!

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| I've never understood the betting facination.
Putting money on an opinion does not make it any more or less valid. It just shows that you are more or less of a risk taker?
If I think Amor and Swift will play this week, how will putting £25 (to which ever worthy cause) prove me to be more right or manly.
The £25 has zero effect on my genetic structure.
The £25 has zero effect on Nathan Brown.
I would much rather be the bookie (stock broker). Let others take their risks about their opinions and be the really clever one who risks little in offsetting one risk taker against another.
