in medicine. He is the brains of the family, and after 7 years of study at University, he finally made it ! He is quite relieved.

So what would be the first thing you would do once you got your doctorate knowing you have a nice high paid job ?

Car hunting of course. Floyd is currently sporting my brothers old chariot so he is in the market for some flash. So far he has taken a Cooper S out. Next stop, Golf GTI.

Surely a doctor should be in a slightly bigger car

Andy M3

Maybe you should pop over with your scooby, i will take it over to my parents house for him to use next week

First thing I did was slept..........for quite some time!!

Many congratulations to your brother! Has he changed his credit cards to reflect his new title yet?? (we all do it)

He certainly has been on the phone to change his name. And made reservations at his local Indian under the name of Dr.

Good on your bro. Going into my final year of medicine myself so I know the stress he will have experienced over the last few years! A bit harsh to call him a "****" i think. With the commitment he will have put into his course it is understandable that he will be rather excited to have graduated.

That's 'Dr' **** to you!

There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a little pat on the back after many years old hard training!

Thats Mr Frazer to him/you :-)

Dr **** is a **** for booking a table at a Indian restaurant as Dr ****.

Andy M3

You really are a Mr Ree to me ?

porkerboy

Whats wrong with booking under Dr at a restaurant? He's has earned that title - so use it

gso

that is cheap!

Mileage?

Some titles you are born with and some you have to work for. Curiously, I think, the ones who had to do nothing for them are held in higher regard.

Well done to your bro. Well respected, well paid and a difficult role to get to and keep. Call himself Dr as much as he can.

LOL you jealous tw*t.

Frazer

Not jealous at all, got loads of respect for Docs but this guys obviously a bit of a tw*t.

Andy M3

Thanks to those who left kind messages - he will be well chuffed

brendy

Funny thing is he has'nt got a doctorate he has a degree but his title is doctor. To get a doctorate you need to do a PhD.
Don't even start the Dr/Mr thing once you get futher on in your career.

Andy M3

WTF

porkerboy

If we want to be pedantic - he has in fact two degrees - bachelor of medicine and surgery.

Next time you book a table at a restaurant book it under that title... You won't look like a t0sser honest ;-)

Please don't get me wrong with my post, ur Bro worked hard...and he got a result, I am not against any of that...I say "good on him"........I am however a bit suspicious of the bollix titles this country has to bestow on citizens becos they did xyz..........its over the top imo. Just like red brick unis...full of alot of bull**** which is why "Britain rules absolutely ***** all in the world arena....'scuse my French...."

Tone Blair...come and prove me wrong....get ur own house in order......nod nod wink wink....

When my sister became a doctor (medical), she bought a second hand peugeot 206cc.......and a house. She's currently doing her GP training, which is a further 3 years of buggering about.

kammy

Let me guess, you do not have any tittles, and did not go to a red brick uni?

I did not go to a red brick uni, as I simply was not clever enough, but respect the people who do. Most of them will not look down on you because you never went to a R.B.U so why the hate?

Fabioso

U R right on both accounts..........my apologies for the post it doesn't make sense and was written in a state of total confusion caused by drinking a good half of a wine box Boy did I feel a little under the weather this morning.......

There are people who like to try and ram their qualifications down the throat of anyone willing to listen. I have encountered some over the years who seem completely obsessed about them being Doctors / professors whatever, and look down on anyone who isn't. Generally that's fine, as everyone else who isn't better qualified (and most who are, too), wouldn't want anything to do with them anyway.

However, that's not to say your bro fits into that category, and there is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to celebrate his success and achievement. The simple answer to "what car" depends on "what good salary?", "what housing situation?", leading to "what disposable income?". However, if Golf GTi and Coooper S are options, obviousl other contenders include Focus ST and Astra VXR, plus there's a sligthly ugly 2.5 Turbo saloon called a "WRX" that I think is similar money that you may have heard of . . . this is scoobynet after all

Mother Theresa

I bought an Astra GTE when I qualified - he might like one of those...

I have always found the Dr/Mr thing strange. You work hard to become a Dr then you work a bit harder and then go back to being a Mr.
