No you've missed the point old man
those born in August are the youngest in their year, therefore the least developed menatlly and physcially and so can get left behind the rest.

Whereas those born in February tend to have trouble with spelling and typing.

I was the youngest in my year at school.
This is because I was put up a year because I am a fucking genius.

PS you are bent, and all mankind detests the very ground you walk upon.

This is also the case with me.
So I went to secondary school at 10 and Uni at 17.

I think we can conclude from this statistically relevant sample of 2 that Ape's theory is so leaky it might as well have been on the end of 100-man gangbang.

1: it's not my theory
2: I was also put up a year...

so you're spreading other people's unfounded theories, now?
whatever happened to the internet being 100% accurate and true at all times, eh?

i have at least 2 female friends
who want to conceive in dec/jan because they have heard that children born in sep-nov are brighter than others.

TRUFAX.

I don't think they're brighter as such, but they're older than the other kids in class, so they 'do better'
and seem advanced.

Sorry miss.
Nah, your point is pretty valid, I imagine.

I was so small when I started secondary school that one of the girls assumed I must have been a child genius

The important issue on this subject Monty
is that your Greek lady whatever her job is Linda Montywantstobootmybackdoorsin was talking it about it on the Beeb this morning.

I think she needs someone to comfort her at this difficult time.
I am more than happy to comfort her until her fillings rattle.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 10:12, Reply)

she's a fucking historian, isn't she?
her qualifications to comment on this as a subject are, therefore, what?

This kind of shit does my head in. Like, say, when a committee who study trends in international labour markets offhand speculate that the world is on the verge of a new recession and EVERY FUCKING news source in europe reports it as a) gospel and b) relevant. They aren't that kind of economists, or even economists at all. You might as well take James Corden's opinions on quantum entanglement and particle physics as the basis for all future theories.

I'm sure it's not her fault that someone asked her.
I'm criticising the media, not her, anyway.

But it then becomes
a self fulfilling prophecy in that the markets read these and panic and then fall which creates panic markets fall... ah you know the rest

That's my underlying point, really.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 1 Nov 2011, 10:24, Reply)

I was put up a year at school
but everyone kept telling me I was so clever that I stopped making the effort.

Man, that backfired.

Same here.
I was also taken out of classes for 'able pupil enrichment' which endeared me hugely to the lumpen proletariat. Thanks guys.
