Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, Artisan..?

[Bastetcat]

it boils down to whether you consider \"pro painted\" to mean 1) you make money from the painting, therefore you are a professional in the sense \"following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain\" verses 2) \"a person who is expert at his or her work\". (Both definitions for professional from Dictionary.com.)

The arguments for both sides go on for days. I think there is a valid argument for both. As to the Ebay thing - sellers are welcome to call themselves whatever they wish. If the mini looks like crap, it looks like crap and no amount of pompous description will change that.

I also have a bit of a confession to make. I find I tend to score a mini a bit harsher if I see it\'s for sale on ebay... . Nasty habit, I know, trying to break it.

So don\'t go shining your nuts just yet! \"
God, I miss him.

Amen brother!

Shane Williams did a good job on Habana by the way. Still, Bokke for the tri-nations...

@ Reverent, I really respect him, he raised me well. I wont hold my breath for the bokke though, you get chosen for your skin colour now, and not for your ability.

Le titre du maître nous élude tous. Des étudiants nous resterons toutes nos vies pour que nous essayions d\'apprendre constamment.

Didn\'t know that.

Well that\'s not a shocker, seeing as how easy it is to manipulate the scores here (in either direction) :no:

\"The title of the Master eludes us all. Students we will remain all our lives so that we try to learn constantly.\"
It\'s a Quote but can\'t remember from whom.

I got the feeling De Villiers was sneaking away from quotas. That\'s what the UK press has suggested. It\'s a dangerous thing in an united South Africa, to veer towards quotas in sport. Here\'s hoping that it doesn\'t become full-blown - equality is all, and like you said, ability is the sole reason for getting picked (or should be).

Could we compromise and settle on \"The Big Lebowski\"? Notice the \'t\' is capitalized? That denotes importance!
