Don't know about 'scottycelt', or now this just-as-mysterious forum member 'Emily', but the famous phrase 'hook, line and sinker' certainly do spring to one's mind, amateur51 <laugh>

Really scotty, as a fellow Celt I suggest that you should brush up on your Welsh poets and dramatists in their centenary year before you embarrass yourself further in front of all these English people.

I can only think you have once again hit on the wrong forum, amateur51 ...?

'These English people' doesn't sound very politically-correct to me and I would urge you to be more respectful to probably the vast majority of members here.

As for Welsh poets and dramatists I fear that, however accomplished, they will have had little bearing and influence on the awarding by a US 'university' of the honorary degree to the late Dr Paisley?

I think PG has given up pretending he's not Scotty.

Indeed it says quite a lot if not 'all', Lord GG!

Fake University
Fake Dr
Fake "Christian"

Fake University
Fake Dr
Fake "Christian"

The last (and arguably the most significant) of these, without doubt; the university that conferred an honorary doctorate upon IP is no more "fake" (its inappropriateness notwithstanding) than is the honorary doctorate that it conferred upon him, but IP himself seemed to be almost to represent the very opposite of a true Christian in his manner and conduct over many years.

Oh, yes, he was very good at bellowing...

Was RVW's, Tod Handley's, et al doctorates fake too?

I suppose you don't accept that former polytechnics are proper universities either?

HA HA

Huddersfield IS a "proper" university and a mighty fine music degree you get from there IMV (I'll send the BACS details by email OK !)
BUT a load of evangelical nutcases giving Mr Bellowhead a PHD strikes me as ridiculous
the other folks you mention actually DID something to make the world a better place.

Spot-on.

I make you right, Huddersfield Poly was always a great place, especially back in the day!

And Ian did what he did, and made a better place of the world, save for his outrageous views on players of the pink oboe.
