Au contraire John.
I did a supervised Mensa test at 10 years old, and achieved a score of 134.
Been meaning to do another one now I am older, see if things have changed

Correct.
Only just seen this thread.
Anymore John?
Don't get me started Neil. I am an avid cryptic crossword fan. :grin:

Anyway a couple of relatively easy ones.

Might many miss the point. (3 letters)
Propensity to hold launches (5 letters)

And another 2:

Small matter of sponge dessert (6 letters)
Insignificant player seen with broker (4 letters)

the last 2 are

trifle
pawn

Yes, well done.

Just shows even with an IQ in excess of 130, you can still be so much up your own arse that you are oblivious to every one and everything else.

BlueSpark posted his answer at 8.35pm, and despite your ridicule of him because Garry's post was timed at 8.19pm, because he is on pre mod that post was not approved until 8.45pm.

Expect an apology to Neil imminently. :WWWW:

No, you can't, but I can.

So in summary, despite you being unaware of the timing of the approval, you were only joking?

For all of us not as "smart" as IFM claims to be, can someone explain to me how IFM has not fucked up yet again. ?
Cos it looks like he is trying to have a pop at bluespark for replying in the thread not when the post made by me was not on the board as it was awaiting approval.

Seems to me IFM was wrong yet again and we all know he wont ever admit he is wrong even when it is glaringly obvious.

The thing is my having to explain that the fact it looked like he had simply copied your answer just demonstrates how thick you are, remember the casual viewer wouldn't know your post didn't appear till afterwards, geddit?

Or maybe you are so dense to not understand how premod works.

If I make a post now and does not get approved til tomorrow, it will then show up at the time the initial post is made.

Maybe oche can explain it to you.
