You may have, by now, observed that Noddy is a Googlemeister and nothing 
more. Furthermore, his *research* (laughingly) has little, if any, 
depth. That, along with the fact that he is the most inveterate liar 
ever seen in newsgroups (proven), means that anything he utters on 
pretty much any topic has to be taken with a truckload of salt.

ps. Easy to get rid of him, just ask him to stump up proof of his past 
claims - like his 3 apprenticeships and 2 trade qualifications - that'll 
make the bastard killfile you and run away as fast as his little legs 
will carry him.

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.
